Open the room, carry the load.
Replacing or reinforcing a load-bearing wall with a beam and posts, with shoring, footings and engineering done right.
- Plans: Engineered design
- Timeline: Days
- Footings: Under every post
What it is, and why it matters.
Load-bearing walls carry the roof and floors above. Removing or repairing one requires a beam sized for the span, posts carrying weight to the foundation and temporary supports while the work is done.
We coordinate an engineer's design, set footings under the posts, shore the structure and install the new beam so the opening is safe and finished neatly.
