Pricing depends on the complexity of the wall removal — a single wall in a single-story home is priced differently than multiple walls in a two-story structure. We provide a clear quote after reviewing your project details. Our pricing is competitive and transparent.

Several indicators suggest a wall may be load-bearing: it runs perpendicular to floor or ceiling joists, it sits above a beam or foundation wall in the basement or crawl space, or it is located near the center of the home. However, the only way to know for certain is to have a licensed structural engineer evaluate it. That is part of what we do during the site visit.

In most cases, yes — with the right engineering. A properly designed replacement beam redistributes the loads the wall was carrying. The beam type, size, and support conditions depend on the span, the loads above, and the foundation below. We design the solution that makes it work safely.

Yes. Every jurisdiction in Maricopa County requires a building permit for load-bearing wall removal. The permit application requires sealed structural calculations and drawings from a licensed Professional Engineer.

From your initial call to a sealed report in your hands, the process typically takes about one week — 3 days to schedule and complete the site visit, then approximately 2 days to deliver the sealed report. Your contractor can then submit for the permit.

The beam type depends on the span length, loads, and ceiling height constraints. Common options include LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams, steel wide flange beams, and HSS (hollow structural section) steel. We design the most appropriate and cost-effective option for your specific situation.
