Planning an open concept
Do you want to make the inside of your home feel more open than it is now?
You can do it by taking down some of the walls that are separating your rooms. You can take advantage of all the benefits of having an open-concept floor plan in your home by simply removing the walls that are dividing up the space.
Structural wall removal (A.K.A Load bearing)
This is not a job to be taken lightly and shouldn't be attempted by a handyman. If load-bearing walls are not removed properly and the appropriate supporting structures put in place, your whole building could collapse or at the very least start to sag. You may not see this immediately but over the course of several years, you will start to notice cracks in ceilings and sagging. Ensure you hire professionals who have had lots of experience with load-bearing wall removals.
Permits and engineers
Every city has different requirements regarding the removal of load bearing walls. While most cities allow homeowners to do the job themselves, some might not.
Before we start any work, we research your community’s rules. If you do the job and it violates your local rules, then you could face a steep fine.
The city will require certain permits.
All of our planning and drawings for structural work is done by a licensed structural engineer.
