Why Load-Bearing Wall Removal Isn't DIY Work

Understanding the complexity and risks of structural remodeling helps you make informed decisions about your Holland home.

The Intimidation Factor

Most homeowners feel overwhelmed when considering load-bearing wall removal. You're looking at a wall and wondering: "What's holding up my second floor?" That fear is completely justified.

Without proper engineering, removing the wrong wall can cause catastrophic structural damage. The weight distribution in your home is carefully balanced, and disrupting it requires expert knowledge and precise calculations.

What Can Go Wrong

  • Sagging ceilings and floors from improper load transfer
  • Foundation damage when loads shift unexpectedly
  • Code violations that prevent home sales or refinancing
  • Voided insurance if unpermitted work causes damage
  • Costly repairs that far exceed the original project budget

How We Do It Right

Professional load-bearing wall removal follows a precise sequence that protects your home's structural integrity at every step.

1
Install temporary support walls on both sides
2
Use engineer-approved beam specifications
3
Install permanent beam with proper support posts
4
Transfer load gradually and monitor for movement

Beam Selection Matters

LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) Beams

Best for spans up to 20 feet. Lighter weight, easier to install, can be hidden in ceiling. Typically used for single-story applications.

Steel I-Beams

Required for longer spans or heavy loads from second floors. Stronger but requires special installation equipment. Often necessary in Holland's older two-story homes.

Critical: Beam sizing requires professional engineering calculations based on your home's specific load requirements. Undersized beams will fail; oversized beams waste money.

Electrical & HVAC Coordination

Load-bearing walls often contain critical systems that must be rerouted

  • Electrical wiring and outlet relocation
  • HVAC ductwork rerouting for proper airflow
  • Plumbing line assessment and modifications
  • Gas line relocation (if present in wall)

Holland Building Permits & Code Compliance

All structural work in Holland requires proper permits and inspections

Required Documentation:

  • • Structural engineering calculations and stamped drawings
  • • Building permit application (City of Holland)
  • • Electrical permit (if circuits are modified)
  • • Mechanical permit (if HVAC is affected)

Inspection Process:

  • • Pre-construction inspection (temporary supports)
  • • Framing inspection (beam installation)
  • • Final inspection (all finishes complete)

What Holland Homeowners Say

Real reviews from real Holland residents who've experienced our work firsthand.

The crew showed up exactly when they said they would and walked me through every step before they started cutting into the wall. I was nervous about removing a load bearing wall in our Springfield Township home but they made it look easy. The engineering drawings were impressive and the city inspector had zero issues with their work. Two weeks from start to finish and our kitchen finally flows into the living room like we always wanted.

We got three quotes for our open concept project near Indian Creek and these guys were the only ones who actually had a structural engineer look at our house first. The other contractors just threw out numbers without knowing what size beam we needed. That attention to detail continued through the whole job and now we have this amazing 18 foot opening with a hidden LVL beam you can't even see.

What impressed me most was how clean they kept everything. I have two young kids and was worried about construction dust everywhere but they sealed off the work area with plastic barriers and ran air scrubbers the whole time. The steel beam installation took one day and then they spent another week making everything look perfect. You would never know there used to be a wall dividing our Briarfield home.

My husband and I had been talking about opening up our kitchen for years but kept putting it off because we heard horror stories about contractors who messed up structural work. A neighbor in Covered Bridge recommended this company and I'm so glad we listened. They handled all the permit paperwork with Holland building department and the whole project stayed on schedule. The beam work is beautiful and really substantial looking.

Straight shooters from day one. They told me exactly what size beam I needed, what the permit process would involve, and gave me a realistic timeline instead of promising the moon. The temporary support walls they built before removing our load bearing wall were seriously impressive. Made me feel confident they knew what they were doing. Gateway area homes like ours have unique layouts and they adapted perfectly to our situation.
