Our Process
Clear Creek Home Improvements, based in Fort Worth, Texas, specializes in load-bearing wall removal, which can significantly enhance a home’s functionality and value. Removing load-bearing walls involves careful structural planning to maintain the integrity of the home, as these walls support the weight of the structure above, such as floors, roofs, or additional stories. Their process likely includes:
- Assessment and Engineering: A structural engineer evaluates the wall to determine load distribution and designs a support system, such as beams or columns, to replace the wall’s function.
- Insurance: Verify that contractors carry liability insurance to cover potential property damage or accidents during the project. Request proof of coverage before work begins.
- Clear Creek Home Improvements carries 2 million general liability.
- Permits and Compliance: They secure necessary permits, ensuring compliance with local building codes.
- Materials: Top-grade materials, such as properly rated steel or laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams, are critical for replacing the wall’s load-bearing function. Ensure contractors specify material quality upfront.
- Demolition and Reinforcement: The wall is carefully removed, and new supports (e.g., steel or laminated beams) are installed to transfer the load.
- Subfloor Fixes: Addressing damage from structural changes, like reinforcing joists or replacing damaged plywood.
- Surface Repairs: Patching hardwood, tile, or laminate to match existing flooring, or installing new flooring for a cohesive look.
- Leveling: Ensuring floors remain level after structural modifications, which is critical when altering load-bearing elements.
- Finishing: The area is finished with drywall, flooring, and paint to blend seamlessly with the existing space.
Additional Considerations
- Electrical & Plumbing: Rewiring or rerouting may be needed if utilities run through the wall.
- Cost: Single-story wall removal typically ranges from $2,000–$5,000, increasing to $4,000–$10,000 with utility rerouting. Two-story projects may cost $9,000–$15,000.
