A wood beam was replaced with a steel beam to support a load bearing wall in our home. The job was done well overall. There were some unexpected delays that could have been prevented and the timeline originally quoted was much less than it took. Brio however always showed up when they said they would be at our home and they kept us in the loop on the progress of the project. I would recommend Brio as a fair and quality contractor.
