What Is Load-Bearing Wall Removal?

A load-bearing wall supports the weight of the structure above it — your ceiling, another floor, or the roof. Removing it without engineering can cause sagging ceilings, cracked drywall, shifting floors, or even collapse.

FAQs : Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Houston

How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?

Walls that align with beams, joists, or roof ridges are often load-bearing. Our structural team confirms with inspection.

Do I need permits in Houston?

Yes. All structural changes require permits and engineer-approved plans. Artesa handles this start to finish.

What does wall removal cost in Houston?

Prices depend on span length, beam type, and rerouting needs (plumbing, HVAC, electrical). Projects typically range from $X,000 – $Y,000. Call for a free estimate.

How long does it take?

Simple walls: 1–2 days. Larger/complex projects: 1–2 weeks, including permits and finishing.

Will it affect resale value?

Yes – done right, wall removal increases home value. Done wrong (without a permit/engineering), it can harm value and insurance coverage.

What supports replace the wall?

We install steel beams, LVLs, or engineered wood beams supported by columns, depending on the load.
