How wall removal actually works

STEP 1

Free evaluation

Chris determines whether the wall you want gone is carrying load, and what is running through it. On-site or over Zoom, at no charge.

STEP 2

Structural engineering

A licensed engineer sizes the beam and the posts that will carry the load the wall was carrying, and specifies the footings under them.

STEP 3

City permit

Removing a load-bearing wall requires a permit. We submit the engineering to your city and handle plan check corrections.

STEP 4

Build and inspect

Temporary shoring, beam set, posts and footings, then the ceiling line rebuilt. Inspected before anything is closed up.

Common questions

How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?

You often cannot tell from inside the room. It depends on what is above it and which direction the joists run. That is the first thing we check at the evaluation.

Do I need a permit to remove a wall?

If it is load-bearing, yes, and it needs stamped structural engineering with it. We handle both.

Will there be a beam sticking down?

Not necessarily. A flush beam can often be set inside the ceiling so the span reads flat. Whether that works depends on the depth available and the load.

What areas do you serve?

Structural and open-concept work is done across Orange County. Loft and high-ceiling conversions are the one service we take anywhere in California.

How long does it take?

The structural work itself is usually quick. Engineering and permitting take longer than the construction, and vary by city.

What does it cost?

It depends project to project. Span, load, and what is running through the wall all matter. We quote in writing after a free evaluation.

Want that wall gone?

Free evaluation, written quote in 2 to 3 business days, no obligation.
