Our financing optionsA Huntsville homeowner reached out to us for help after attempting to remove a wall to create a more open living area. She wanted to know if the wall was load-bearing and, if so, how to safely achieve her renovation goals.
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 a strong replacement, like a column or post, can harm the home’s structure.
In Huntsville, many homeowners are updating older homes or looking to create a more open, inviting floor plan. Removing walls to connect kitchens, living rooms, and dining areas is a popular renovation. This is common in neighborhoods with homes built decades ago.
However, it’s important to know which walls are structural before making changes. Removing a load-bearing wall without the proper type of support can put your entire home at risk.
Upon arrival, our specialist performed a full foundation inspection and determined that the wall she wanted to remove was load-bearing.
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.
An LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) beam is a modern engineered wood product designed for strength and reliability. LVL beams are preferred in today’s renovations because they can span long distances without sagging, making them ideal for open-concept spaces while maintaining structural safety.
With expert craftsmanship, we secured the beam in place, ensuring that the Huntsville 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.
