2
Confirm the structural plan
We review the wall, span, bearing points, access, and engineer requirements before pricing the work.
3
Coordinate drawings and permits
When the job needs engineering or municipal permits, we help keep that paperwork moving.
4
Protect and support the home
Temporary walls and site protection go in before the bearing wall is opened.
5
Install the steel or LVL beam
The beam, posts, pockets, and connections are installed to match the approved structural design.
6
Ready for inspection and finishing
We leave the opening solid, clean, and ready for inspection, drywall, trim, and the next trade.

Questions homeowners ask before opening a wall.
Is my wall load-bearing?+
Sometimes it is obvious, and sometimes it is not. If you send photos or book a site visit, Swinging Hammers can review the framing direction, loads above, and likely beam requirements before you start demolition.
Do I need permits?+
Most structural wall removals need permits and engineered drawings. We can help you understand what is required before work begins so the job does not get delayed halfway through.
Do I need an engineer?+
For beam sizing, bearing points, and code compliance, yes, an engineer is commonly required. We install the beam and framing to match the approved structural plan.
How much does wall removal cost?+
Pricing depends on span, beam type, access, support, permits, and how much finishing is included. A quick site review gives you a clearer number than a guess over the phone.
Steel beam vs LVL?+
Steel is often used when the span is long or headroom is tight. LVL can be a smart choice for many wood-framed openings. The right option comes from the engineer's design and the conditions inside the home.
How long does it take?+
Once drawings, permits, and materials are ready, many beam installations are completed in a few working days. Larger openings or multi-trade renovations can take longer.
