Load Bearing Wall Removal
Turning your kitchen and dining room or kitchen and living room into one area can be achieved with our wall removal service.
Removing a load bearing wall and replacing it with a beam is significantly different from removing interior non-load bearing walls. Load bearing walls are structural elements, non-load bearing walls are not.
If you take out the load bearing wall, you compromise the structural integrity of your house. If you remove a non-load bearing wall, other factors come into play―how to dispose of the debris, how to fix the ceiling and floor, where to route vital services―but your house will not fall down.
Local permitting agencies now have a hand in all aspects of home remodeling―fences, walkways, decks, ponds. Even non-load-bearing wall removal―closets, partition walls, etc.―must be permitted.
It should come as no surprise that your permit agency wants to know if you are taking down a wall that affects the structural integrity of your home. You may even need to submit a detailed plan regarding an alternative support system.
