Why it matters

Structural Professionals

Removing a Load Bearing Wall is like the "open heart surgery" of construction. It's not something you trust to ANYONE.

How we work

Our Process

From the moment we arrive to the moment we leave — here is exactly how a load bearing wall removal unfolds.

Step 1: Dust
1

Dust

Painters' plastic is used to seal off non-construction areas and cover possessions. Dust is directed to open window or door with a high-powered vent fan if necessary.

Step 2: Protect
2

Protect

Large moving blankets are used to cover the floors for protection in the work area.

Step 3: Temporary support for load bearing wall — shoring before demo
3

Support

Shoring posts and I-beams are used to temporarily support the weight while the load bearing wall is removed.

Step 4: Demo
4

Demo

Demo begins by removing sheet rock, studs, & cabinets if necessary. Sheet rock on ceiling is cut to expose ceiling joists.

Step 5: Prep
5

Prep

Ceiling joists are precisely measured and precision-cut in the area where the new beam will be installed. Additional roof bracing is added in the attic.

Step 6: Hangers
6

Hangers

The beam is lifted into position. Hangers or pressure blocks are installed on each joist connecting them to the new beam.

Step 7: Reinforce with load bearing support beam — structural wall replacement
7

Reinforce

The beam is reinforced on either end with multiple 2x4's on-end ("stud-packs") installed inside the wall.

Step 8: Remove
8

Remove

Joists are tied into the new beam. The temporary support is removed.

Step 9: Cleanup
9

Cleanup

Construction debris & trash are removed, blankets and plastic are removed, and the work area is swept clean.

Step 10: Finish

Finish

Electric, HVAC, and plumbing are left site-ready for next crews — left hanging & exposed for quick & easy identification and access.

After 20+ years in the construction world, we know how invasive and dirty a job site can be if the right steps are not taken to ensure proper protection. And frankly, we have had to repair or cleanup enough damage caused by our guys in the past that we have refined this to a "Swiss watch" of synchronization.

Education

What Is Load-Bearing Wall Removal?

A load-bearing wall is a structural element that carries the weight of your home — transferring loads from the roof, upper floors, and ceiling down through the foundation. Unlike partition walls, which simply divide space, load-bearing walls are integral to the structural integrity of your home.

Removing a load-bearing wall is one of the most impactful renovations you can make — opening up dark, compartmentalized spaces into bright, modern open-concept layouts. But it's also one of the most technically demanding projects, requiring engineering analysis, proper beam sizing, temporary support during removal, and city permits.

Load Bearing Wall Pros handles every step: engineering, temporary shoring, demolition, beam installation, and finishing. Our PE produces the stamped drawings required for permit applications. We've completed over 12,000 projects across DFW, Houston, and Austin since 2015.
