Our Structural Services
We specialize exclusively in structural modifications for residential renovations. From load-bearing wall removal to engineered beam installation, we provide safe, code-compliant solutions that help homeowners create brighter, more functional living spaces.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Removing a load-bearing wall is one of the most effective ways to transform a home. Whether you’re opening up your kitchen, dining room, or living space, we safely remove structural walls and install the engineered support required to create bright, open-concept living areas without compromising the integrity of your home.
Ideal For
- Opening up kitchens to adjoining living or dining rooms
- Creating open-concept floor plans
- Improving natural light and sightlines
- Increasing the functionality of your living space
- Renovations requiring engineered structural modifications
Steel Beam Installation
Steel beams make it possible to create large, open-concept spaces while safely supporting the weight of your home. Whether you’re removing a full wall or creating a wide opening between rooms, we install engineered steel beams designed specifically for your project.
Ideal For
- Large open-concept renovations
- Wide structural openings
- Supporting second-storey loads
- Basement beam replacements
- Renovations requiring maximum structural strength
LVL Beam Installation
LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) beams are an excellent solution for many residential structural renovations. They provide exceptional strength while fitting within standard framing dimensions, making them ideal for creating open-concept spaces where a steel beam may not be necessary.
Ideal For
- Residential load-bearing wall removal
- Smaller structural openings
- Renovations where beam depth is limited
- Supporting engineered floor systems
- Cost-effective structural solutions
Structural Engineering Coordination
Every structural project begins with proper engineering. We coordinate with licensed structural engineers to ensure the correct beam, posts, and supporting structure are designed for your home. This gives you confidence that your renovation is safe, code-compliant, and built on a sound structural plan.
Ideal For
- Residential load-bearing wall removal
- Smaller structural openings
- Renovations where beam depth is limited
- Supporting engineered floor systems
- Cost-effective structural solutions
Building Permit Coordination
Structural renovations require a building permit. We help coordinate the permit process by working alongside your structural engineer and ensuring the required documentation is prepared, helping your project move forward as smoothly as possible.
Ideal for
- Projects requiring a building permit
- Load-bearing wall removal
- Structural beam installation
- Home renovations involving structural changes
- Homeowners unfamiliar with the permit process
Temporary Structural Shoring
Before any load-bearing wall is removed, the structure above must be safely supported. We install temporary structural shoring to carry the load while the new beam and supports are installed, ensuring your home remains stable throughout the construction process.
Ideal For
- Load-bearing wall removal
- Steel beam installation
- Multi-storey homes
- Large structural openings
- Projects requiring engineered structural modifications
Structural Footing Upgrades
Not every project requires footing upgrades, but when additional structural loads are introduced, the existing foundation may need to be strengthened. If identified by the structural engineer, we complete the required footing upgrades to safely transfer loads through the new beam and support posts to the foundation below.
Ideal For
- Homes where new point loads are introduced
- Projects requiring new support posts
- Basements with undersized footings
- Structural renovations identified by the engineer
- Ensuring long-term structural performance
Not Sure Which Structural Solution You Need?
Every home is different. During your free project review, we’ll discuss your renovation goals, review photos of your space, and recommend the best structural solution for your project. If additional engineering or structural modifications are required, we’ll explain exactly what to expect before any work begins.
