We handle residential load-bearing and non-load-bearing wall removal, beam installation, and the structural engineering and permit coordination that go with them. We work on wood-framed, block, and brick walls, installing LVL, glulam, or steel beams. Contact us for a free quote today.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Before removing a load-bearing wall, we build temporary shoring walls on both sides to carry the load. Then we cut out the studs and transfer the weight to a new beam and posts. Any wiring, ductwork, or plumbing running through the wall gets rerouted before demolition begins. Once the beam is in place, we patch the ceiling and floor where the wall used to stand.
Non-Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Partition walls that carry no structural load can usually come out without shoring or a new beam. We still inspect the framing above and below before we cut, because some walls that look non-structural are actually supporting point loads from the floor above.
Beam Installation
We install flush or dropped beams in LVL, glulam, or steel, sized to the engineer's specifications and set on new posts and footings where needed.
Structural Engineering and Permits
We work with a licensed structural engineer to size the beam and produce stamped drawings. Then we pull the building permit and schedule every required inspection.
