What’s included

Every project is planned with you, drawn in 3D and quoted in writing. Here is what is usually included; we tailor the scope to your home.

  • Structural check of the wall
  • Engineered beam and posts where the wall carries load
  • Rerouting wiring, plumbing or ducts inside the wall
  • Floor patching or new continuous flooring
  • Drywall, paint and trim to finish

Ways to do it

Full removal

The wall comes out completely, usually with a flush or dropped beam.

Partial opening

A wide opening or half wall keeps some separation and storage.

Good to know before you start

Load-bearing walls

We confirm what the wall carries before any cutting and plan temporary support.

Utilities in the wall

Pipes, ducts and wiring have to go somewhere. We plan their new route.

Floors

Two rooms often have two different floors. Budget for new flooring across the opening.

Questions we hear first

Anything else, ask during your consultation or send us a message.

We inspect the framing, joist direction and what sits above. If needed, an engineer sizes the beam.

Often, as a flush beam. It depends on joist depth and span.

It can be, which is why we seal off the area and clean up daily.

Yes. We apply for the permits your project needs and schedule every inspection.
