- My house was built in 1910, and our floors were starting to sag and cracks were showing up on our walls. We worked with the Load Bearing Wall company to replace the main beam holding up our house in the basement with a steel beam. I would highly recommend working with The Load Bearing wall company as the quality of work was very high and the communication from everyone involved exceeded my expectations. I knew going into this project it would be a lot of money, and I'm really glad I put my trust into this company! I really want to recognize Dave as he was able to provide frequent status updates as to what was happening, and we were able to talk through strategies and come up with options to make sure the project was successful and meeting the needs of me and my family's vision for our house. The crew was friendly, punctual and got an incredible amount of work done each day. If you're reading this review and not sure which company to work with.. the people at the load bearing wall company do excellent work, they're easy to work with and ready to collaborate, and ultimately just bring a positive energy to the project. Easy 5/5 !read moreread lessB. Abbott3/19/2025I whole heartedly cannot recommend this team enough. We are in the process of a new build and not only were the engineered plans thorough and timely, the support since the design phase has been exceptional. During inspection, questions arose and framers deviated from the plans due to circumstances, generating concern from the inspectors. The engineers quickly helped supply what is needed to get us past inspection, even with the ongoing projects during their busy season. It’s refreshing to engage with a company that values you, even several months after the service was completed. Professional, knowledgeable, and we’ll be coming back here for our next build.

From the moment I contacted him, Andy was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and—most importantly—honest. I sent him pictures of the problem, and he took the time to thoroughly review everything and explain the situation to me in a way that was easy to understand. He confirmed that my setup was functionally sound and even gave me practical suggestions to address some minor issues. What really stood out was how straightforward and approachable Andy is—no scare tactics, no upselling, just honest advice and solutions. He didn’t even charge me for the consult, which speaks volumes about his integrity and dedication to helping people. If you’re dealing with structural concerns, stop worrying and just call Andy. He’s the real deal, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind he’s given me. Thanks again for everything!read moreread lessJ. Nelson1/22/2025

Tyme1/21/2025When a pipe replacement revealed our whole basement was cavernous underneath the concrete slab, we had to get a structural engineer out. I contacted Andy with Load Bearing Wall Co, and within the hour he called me back to ask for details about the scope of the project. Only days later, he was out to our house examining our basement and walking us through options to correct the problem. We ended up having to have the entire basement removed of the existing concrete, fill placed and new concrete poured. Throughout the whole process, Andy, Dave and team were thorough, friendly and efficient. Within 5 days we had brand new concrete in our basement. In addition to 5 star work, I cannot stress enough the customer service provided by Load Bearing Wall Co, especially Dave and his crew. They were friendly, punctual and flexible. They answered all of our questions m, even after hours, explained every step of the process so I could understand and were always available if I had any concerns. Dave even came out for an emergency call on a Sunday. They were very conscious of our situation, having a new baby in the house. Assuring us of the safety or any concerns, notifying us of any days where we should be out of the house due to noise or anything else that could stress our baby. I would highly recommend Load Bearing Wall Company to anyone who is in need of these services. The stress of this nightmare situation for us was made infinitely easier having Dave, Andy and team helping us through it.read moreread lessE. Bensen1/21/2025Andy called me on the phone and looked at photos and felt that the issue that I was concerned about was likely related to a new construction project rather than an engineering issue.

- My living room - dining room wall divided the upper level and made both rooms appear smaller and darker. Removing it seemed like a no brainer. After I filled out the online contact request form on LBWC web page I received a call within an hour! The experts from LBWC came out a few days later and gave me the assurance I needed. They also ran a scan of my entire house and built a structural database I can use for any future remodel work. From that scan I received a structural engineer's stamped report that the dividing wall was not a structural component and could safely be removed. These people are the best in this field and their prices are reasonable.read moreread lessR. Larson11/04/2024
- Andrew has been awesome to work with and we got an appointment set up right away and he was very up front about costs which I really appreciate.read moreread lessG. Wolf10/25/2024Load Bearing Wall Company's work was outstanding. We initially hired them to assess a sagging beam in our living room. They quickly provided a solid assessment, full engineering specs, and a bid for a new beam & associated bracing. The bid was competitive, so we also hired them for the beam replacement. Working with them was easy. They were flexible, professional, and personable. Even after we settled the bill, the engineer continued to run numbers on the repair -- the initial plan had been modified at our request to keep some areas clear -- and the work crew added reinforcement to ensure a lasting structural repair. Great commitment to quality work. I would definitely hire them for future structural work.read moreread lessC. Duncan9/19/2024TLDR: These guys are nothing short of incredible. Use them! You won’t regret it! Context: My wife and I had extreme water damage in our master bathroom due to condensation and moisture build up. The catch was that the bathroom was designed as a bi-cantilever system on the corner of a foundation (not easy). When I pulled up the floor and tore the ceiling down I noticed the east-west joists had rotted out completely, and the previous builder never even bothered to install north-south joists; it was 2’ of cantilever all resting on 1.5” of rim joist. Atop all of this, there was no support on the ceiling. It’s a miracle the thing didn’t collapse! Introductions: After talking with several structural engineers who did site visits and ultimately deemed the project difficult enough that it wasn’t worth their time, I submitted the floor layout and tentative foundation plan to Load Bearing Wall Company hoping for a consult. This was 5PM on a Friday. That same night Aslam reached out and within 10 minutes of me telling him I had the room down tot he studs he had set me up for a scheduled site visit. Mere days later Aslam showed up. But it wasn’t just him. He brought what seemed like the whole company! Dave (Project Lead), Tom (Structural Engineer), Kristina (Coordinator), Andy (Owner), and even a young teen who came in and immediately lidar scanned the whole house. They surveyed both inside and outside, discussed high level solutions with us, and went to the drawing board. Planning: Aslam and Tom went back and forth over the next two weeks on a number of solutions. This is key — it isn’t often that a company will have internal debate on potential solutions. LBWC does this, and what’s more they consult you during the whole process to ensure they’re working within your constraints (budget, time, etc.) and you understand the solutions they are working toward. Ultimately they presented us with two solutions, both fully detailed and easy to understand. We agreed to one, paid the deposit, and were on their schedule within a week. Amazing. Execution: When the team showed up, we were surprised. Normally with companies you have a couple guys assigned a small number of man hours per week for your project, and it could take months. Dave (Project Lead) and Jon (Site Lead) showed up with a team of 5 men. These guys showed up on time (7 AM most days) and got right to work until 3-4PM in the afternoon. Every day. Fully allocated. Upon encountering a problem on site that they didn’t anticipate, they ran an audible and delivered. Ultimately we ended up with a poured column inside our crawlspace to bear the north-south joists, a drop beam in the ceiling, new flush beams and exterior wall framing, a new knee wall atop the foundation, and triple braced joists so that we can put, well, whatever the hell we want on that floor without worrying about sag or collapse. Reflection: Aside from the outstanding work these guys do, every single one of them was respectful, responsive to questions, and a joy to be around. As they reached the end of the job my wife looked at me and said, “I am actually going to really miss these guys being around the house.” You can tell when a team of builders has a sense of camaraderie. These guys enjoy being around each other. We could hear them laugh, jest, and jape at each other as they worked. They listened to Madonna one day, and Tool the next. They love what they do. They are experts. They aren’t snobby. In the end they delivered, we paid, and we said our good byes. I hope I never have anything else go wrong in this house related to the framing (knock on wood), but if I do I know the first company i’ll turn to, and it’s Load Bearing Wall Company. From my wife Alex and I to all of you who were so amazing, thank you for your incredible service. P.S. Joe, I hope that Kia is working out.read moreread lessJ. MacVey8/23/2024

This advice was given free of charge and he went out of his way to continue communicating with me until my issue was resolved. I never actually ended up needing an in person visit that they would charge me for. The amount of effort that they put into a customer that didn’t even pay them was incredible.

I got three estimates and hired Load Bearing Wall Company to address the problem. Andy Long came with a structural engineer to assess the issue and my basement. He wrote up two estimates and took his time to go through the pros and cons of each. I decided to go for the more expensive option because it gave me the ability to raise my house and correct some of the slant in my floors. Andy was up front that my project may be delayed due to other projects or the weather. He shared a Google calendar invitation with me so I could see if timeline changed and it did twice. However, once Andy and his crew came to my house, they were mine until the project was complete. They poured new footings and replaced and added new support posts. They failed to reinforce part of the basement ceiling/first floor during the project but Andy had his crew stay after the walk through to complete it. I got frequent updates with pictures texted to me throughout the project. The raising of my house is scheduling for the spring when the weather is warmer. My one caveat is that while Andy is very responsive to texts, I did have to initiate nearly all our conversations for updates. If you don't mind that, I cannot recommend them highly enough.read moreread lessL. Winterstein11/23/2022

Sroka11/23/2022I recently bought a house and noticed some cracks in the drywall. I also had a bouncy floor upstairs. I called a structural engineer who told me that my second floor kitchen wall was sinking into my basement and that the best and most affordable solution was to put a load bearing beam in the basement ceiling. The structural engineer had suggested a few contractors but I reached out to LBWC on a whim based off of the reviews. I talked to Andy who came and assessed everything. He assured me this is something right up their alley. I then put him in contact with my structural engineer who gave him the plans on what to do. Literally two weeks later, they came out and spent 3 days at my house hammering away. I now have a 600 pound beam in my basement ceiling and my kitchen and living room floor is solid as a rock.

- We hired LBWC to help us level a floor for a bathroom renovation and fix some support post issues in the basement. Andrew was fantastic to work with, and the carpentry team was A+. When the plumber came to set the tub, he said that he's never seen a floor so level, even in new construction. Andrew was easy to work with, quick to communicate, and very upfront about costs. He was more than happy to talk with us through the project step by step, offer his thoughts on parts were were planning to DIY ourselves, and give us access to his recommended subcontractors for this project as well as others we were doing around the house. Great experience all around, and very happy with the work!read moreread lessR. Lear9/23/2022
We offer standalone structural engineering diagnostics and consultation, and feasibility analyses. Structural design services are included in all construction projects.
We can open up a space or even revise a whole floor plan with design, permitting, demolition, and beam installation.
We fix roof rafters and trusses, pour concrete foundations, replace posts and beams, straighten sloped floors, and repair structural cracks and damage.
We have built a reputation for quality structural work over two decades.
We offer an exceptionally streamlined process and transparent pricing.
Hire us for only what you need — customers who can handle the drywall removal can avoid unnecessary markups. However, if you do need us to manage the entire project, we are ready to help.
