Structural & layout changes
Open up your home. Done right — engineered, permitted, built.
Load-bearing wall removals, beam installs, drywall, demolition, and structural engineering — coordinated end to end. San Diego permits handled in-house. Change orders are written and approved before work proceeds.
- Engineering coordinated
- In-house permitting
- Transparent change orders
What we handle in a structural project.
From a single wall removal to a whole-floor reconfiguration:
- Closed-off floor plans — opened up with proper engineering, permits, and beam installs.
- Load-bearing wall removals — coordinated with a structural engineer and inspected at each phase.
- New or relocated doorways and windows — including reframing and exterior wall work where required.
- Reframing for new beam locations — including supporting work in the floor system and foundation when needed.
- Drywall and finishing post-demo — taping, mudding, texture, and paint to match the rest of the home.
- Permit corrections for prior unpermitted work that needs to come into compliance.
- Foundation and structural repairs uncovered during remodel demo — documented and priced as written change orders.
Every structural project starts with a free on-site assessment. You leave with a written proposal — scope, engineering coordination, permits, and timeline.
How it works
Our 3-step process.
Assessment & engineering
On-site evaluation. We identify which walls are load-bearing, coordinate with a structural engineer where required, and put the full scope plus engineering coordination into a written proposal.
Permitting
San Diego structural permits pulled in-house, plan-check coordinated directly, and inspection windows scheduled before demo begins.
Demo & rebuild
Controlled demo, beam install, structural reinforcement, drywall, finish, and final inspection. Regular on-site updates from your PM — Ann, Sam, or Michael — at every milestone.
Why San Diego homeowners pick us for structural work.
Engineering coordinated end to end
We work with structural engineers directly. You don't shop for an engineer, coordinate stamped drawings, and hand them to a separate contractor. It's one project, one team.
Permits handled in-house
San Diego structural permits are pulled and managed by our team — no expediter layer between you and plan check.
Written change orders only
If demo reveals something unexpected, we document it, price the fix, and get your written approval before continuing. No surprise charges.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Can I remove this wall?
We'll check on-site. Most walls can come out with the right engineering and permits — load-bearing walls require a beam and proper structural support. The free consultation tells you what's possible and what it would take.
How long does a wall removal take?
Typically a few days of structural work plus finish time — but it depends on span, what's in the wall (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), and the finish scope. Your written proposal gives a realistic timeline.
What does it cost?
It depends on span, engineering required, what runs through the wall, and the finish scope. The written proposal lays it out line-by-line so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Do I need a permit?
Yes — structural changes in San Diego require permits and inspections. We pull them in-house and schedule the inspection windows.
What if you find issues during demo?
We document, price the fix as a written change order, and get your approval before continuing. Nothing gets billed without your sign-off.
