Load-Bearing Wall Removal
A load-bearing wall is holding up floors or the roof, so it cannot simply be taken out. We remove it and replace the support with an engineered beam so the room can open up safely.

Browse through our structural beam work below. We provide an array of residential structural engineering from drawings and permits, steel or LVL installation, concrete footings, vaulted-ceiling conversions, structural shoring, demolition and focused structural inspections.
Structural Beam Installation
A structural beam replaces the support a wall was providing, and it can span farther than ordinary lumber. We supply and install steel or LVL so the new opening is strong enough for the house above it.

LVL Beams
LVL beams are engineered wood used when a wall comes out or a floor needs more support. They are strong, stable, and easier to finish into a residential ceiling than many steel sections.
View service →
Steel Beams
Steel is used when an opening is long or the load above is heavy. It carries more with a shallower beam, so you can open the room with fewer posts.
View service →
Concrete Footings
New beams and posts concentrate a lot of weight in a small area. Concrete footings spread that load into the foundation so the opening stays stable.

Open Concept Wall Removal
Kitchen, dining, and living rooms are often divided by walls that are still holding load. We open those rooms into one main floor, with the beam and posts planned before the wall comes out.

Vaulted Ceilings
Raising a flat ceiling means the roof load has to be carried a new way. We engineer and install the ridge beam so the old ceiling structure can come out and the room can open upward.

Basement Leak Repairs & Foundation Crack Repairs
Wet basement walls and foundation cracks let groundwater into the house. We assess the leak, then seal poured-concrete cracks with the injection method that fits the wall.

Structural Inspections
This is a focused look at beams, openings, and load paths when you are planning a wall removal or something structural was flagged. It tells you whether the wall is load-bearing and what support comes next.

Structural Engineering & Permit Drawings
Load-bearing changes usually need stamped drawings and a building permit. We prepare the structural drawings and coordinate the municipal submission so the work is approved before it starts.
View service →
Demolition
Interior demolition clears walls and finishes so the new beam work can start. It is done carefully, after the structure is supported, so the rest of the home stays protected.
View service →
Residential Structural Shoring
Shoring is the temporary steel posts and framing that carry the house while a wall or beam is removed. It stays in place until the new beam and posts can take the load.
