Call Our Team
How can I tell if an interior wall is load-bearing?

Load-bearing walls typically run perpendicular to ceiling joists or rafters, support a floor or roof above, and align with beams or foundation posts below. We conduct an on-site structural inspection to confirm load distribution before any wall removal.

What type of beam is used when removing a load-bearing wall?

We typically install Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Glulam, or structural steel I-beams, sized precisely according to structural load calculations and building code specifications.

Do you frame commercial buildouts as well as residential homes?

Yes. We provide both wood and heavy-gauge steel stud framing for commercial tenant improvements, office partitions, retail layouts, and residential developments.

Can you repair rotted or storm-damaged framing?

Yes. We provide structural sistering, sill plate replacement, header rebuilding, and rim joist restoration to permanently reinforce compromised framing.
