Homeowner questions
How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?
That's what the first visit is for. We look at the structure before anyone opens a wall.
Will this need engineering?
Most structural changes involve engineering to size beams and confirm the design. We'll walk you through what your project requires.
Can we do it while living in the home?
Often, yes, for single-room structural work. We'll talk through what your project involves.
