"Great. I would hire Dave and his associate, Keith, to work on my condo anytime work needs to be done. Great quality, and he did not gouge me on pricing. He is a real professional in the San Diego market."

"They did a great job. They rebuilt my closet, hung curtain rods, fixed a kitchen cabinet and drawers as well as a few other small projects. It was very reasonably priced and done quickly. I would definitely hire again."

"Marco and his team framed my entire addition, installed a 30 foot long beam, built and installed the roof, and installed multiple large sliders and picture windows. Always on time, always did what he said he would. Kept everything very clean and cleaned up after. I can not recommend him enough. 10/10!"

Customers say: True professional

"Joel answered my request promptly. He explained thoroughly what would be done and answered all questions to a clear understanding. The full job to be done is much larger than we were expecting and more costly due to complications with water and electrical lines on an older home. I recommend Green Light Building Services Inc. due to Joel's professional work ethic."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
