Load Bearing Wall Removal
Load bearing wall removal across Mississauga, Oakville and Burlington. Engineering, permits, inspections and finishing coordinated for an opening that fits the rest of your home.
Projects starting at $10,000
Starting prices apply to qualifying scopes. Your final price depends on the project size, existing conditions, materials, design, permits and other requirements. A detailed quotation follows the free consultation and site visit.
Pricing varies by opening span, structural requirements, engineering, permits and finishing.
Removing a load bearing wall is structural work. The wall is holding up part of your house, so it has to be replaced with a properly sized beam, posts and bearing points, designed by a licensed engineer and inspected by the city. Our background is structural framing, and this is work we know well. We handle the whole project: engineering, permit, temporary shoring, removal, beam installation, inspection and the finishing that makes the opening look original.
Structural Renovations Experiences
Every package receives the same professional construction standards, applicable code compliance, proper workmanship and project coordination. The difference is the outcome, design, layout, finish selections and scope complexity, not safety or construction quality.
Representative comparison: Structural feasibility and the final scope depend on an engineering assessment of your home.

Every experience follows the same structural engineering, safety, temporary shoring, load transfer, permit and inspection requirements.
Structural feasibility, opening size, beam design, support locations, foundations and service relocation depend on engineering assessment.
A concealed beam, removal of posts or a particular opening cannot be promised without engineering review.
Our packages illustrate different renovation experiences and representative project scopes. Every property is unique, so your final quotation is tailored to your layout, existing conditions, selected finishes and construction requirements.
We'll help you choose the right direction and develop a complete project scope around your goals.
We believe homeowners deserve clarity about when their renovation will be completed.
Before construction begins, we'll provide an agreed project schedule with a target completion date. We'll keep you informed of progress, communicate clearly and manage the work toward the agreed timeline.
Initial consultations and estimates are free. Separately contracted design, engineering, permit applications or advanced assessments are not automatically free and may require an additional agreement.
We look at what the wall is carrying, what runs through it, and what you want the space to become.
Stamped drawings from a licensed Professional Engineer, sizing the beam, posts and bearing points, with a temporary shoring plan.
We prepare and submit the building permit application and manage the review.
Temporary supports go in first, then the wall comes out safely.
Steel or engineered wood beam installed to the drawings, with posts carried down to proper bearing.
City inspection of the structure before anything is closed in.
Drywall, ceiling and wall patching, flooring repair where the wall stood, and paint, so the opening matches the rest of the room.
One project manager from start to handover, and one number to call.
Most finished openings range from $10,000 to $30,000 or more, including engineering, permit, beam, finishing and paint. The factors below move the number.
A longer opening, or a wall carrying a second floor, needs a larger beam.
The engineer specifies the beam based on the opening, the load above it and the available space. An engineered wood beam (LVL) works for many openings. For longer spans or heavier loads, a steel beam may be required when an LVL cannot meet the structural requirements within the available space.
A dropped beam sits below the ceiling, while a flush beam is installed within the ceiling for a clean, uninterrupted look. A flush beam typically requires more structural work, including modifying the existing joists, installing structural hangers and rebuilding the surrounding ceiling. This additional labour makes it the more expensive option.
Posts support the beam and transfer its load down to the foundation through properly designed structural supports. Depending on the load, posts may be wood or steel. They can sometimes be concealed within existing walls, while exposed posts can be boxed in and finished to blend with the room. The engineer determines the structural requirements, and we discuss the design options with you.
If services inside the wall need rerouting, we confirm the required work and pricing in writing before proceeding. Concealed conditions may need to be reviewed once the wall is opened.
The weight the wall supported has to be transferred safely to the foundation. Depending on the existing structure, new or reinforced footings may be required beneath the posts. The engineer determines whether additional foundation work is needed.
Matching existing flooring where the wall stood depends on what you have. Where an exact match is not possible, we discuss options before work begins.
A specific budget is set after the site assessment, and you receive a fixed price proposal with a dated schedule.
We discuss your project, review the preliminary scope and budget, and arrange an initial site visit where appropriate, to assess the wall and what it carries and talk through the opening you want. The initial consultation and estimate are free.
A licensed Professional Engineer prepares stamped drawings, and we submit the permit application.
A fixed price proposal with the scope set out by category, milestones, a dated schedule, the payment schedule and exclusions.
Shoring, removal, beam and posts, then city inspection.
Drywall, ceiling, flooring repair and paint, then a walkthrough and handover of your permit documents and engineer drawings.
Typical timelines: 2 to 4 weeks for engineering and permit, then 1 to 2 weeks on site including finishing.
Every wall removal begins with a conversation about the home, to see what the wall carries, what runs through it and the opening you want. If you're in Mississauga, Oakville or Burlington, this is the right next step.
