Our Load-Bearing Wall Removal Process

Removing a load-bearing wall requires precision, licensed engineering, and strict code compliance. Here's exactly how Rise Total Home Solutions manages the process from first visit to finished space.

01

Structural Assessment

Our team conducts an on-site evaluation of the wall in question, identifying load paths, framing conditions, and how the structure above and below will be affected by removal.

02

Engineering Review

A licensed structural engineer calculates the proper beam size, support columns, and point loads required to safely transfer weight once the wall is removed.

03

Permitting

We prepare and submit stamped engineering drawings to the local building department, securing every required permit before any demolition begins.

04

Wall Removal & Beam Installation

Our crew installs temporary shoring, carefully removes the wall, and sets the engineered beam and support posts according to the approved plan.

05

Finishing

After final inspection approval, we patch drywall, ceilings, and flooring so the new open space looks seamless and move-in ready.
