Our financing optionsThe customer called wanting assistance in determining if a wall she tried to remove was a load-bearing wall and removing said wall to open up her living space.
Upon arrival, our specialist performed a full foundation inspection and determined that the wall she wanted to remove was load-bearing.
A load-bearing wall is a structural element that helps to transfer weight from the roof down to the foundation and soil. Removing a load-bearing wall without installing a sufficient alternative, such as a column or post, would ultimately be detrimental to the home’s structural integrity.
Due to this, our specialist recommended the installation of an LVL beam, also known as a support beam, to replace the existing wall. This would allow the home’s structural integrity to remain intact and achieve the goals the customer wanted.
Our skilled crew arrived promptly, ready to tackle the project with precision and care. We started by carefully removing the sheetrock from the walls to expose the structure beneath. This ensured that no damage occurred during the initial stages.
Next, we installed a temporary support system to hold the weight of the roof while the wall was safely removed. Once the wall was fully taken down, our team moved on to the critical step: installing the LVL beam and support column. With expert craftsmanship, we secured the beam in place, ensuring that the home’s structural integrity remained intact.
By the end of the process, K. Scoggins was thrilled with the transformation. Her living space was beautifully opened up, and she had peace of mind knowing that her home was safe and stable thanks to our high-quality workmanship.
