LOAD-BEARING
WALL
If you are looking for more space in your kitchen for cooking or want to remove the walls blocking the sunlight from your bedroom, then are going to want to hire someone to remove that pesky load-bearing wall.
Although you can add a house extension, it may be a lot easier (and
cheaper) to just reconfigure your existing layout. However, remember that the integrity of your house’s structure depends on these walls, so do not start trying to take a hammer to your walls just yet.

We have a team of dedicated professionals with structural expertise that can remove load-bearing walls in your home for increased comfort and possible higher resale value!
What Are Load-Bearing
Walls?
A house’s construction consists of multiple interior and exterior walls that could be load-bearing walls or partition ones.
The latter serves as a means of separation between inner rooms, while load-bearing walls, as their name indicates, are the ones that carry the weight of the building. In other words, they bear the weight of the ceiling, roof, and upper floors, so without them, a house won’t stay upright.
Yet, you might want to remove load-bearing walls in your house to open up floor plans, expose more light to dark spaces, or create more living and working space. Regardless of your reason, unless you’re a professional, removing a load-bearing wall requires a team of engineers, architects, and contractors with experience in structural wall removal to carry out the structural work safely.
We demolish with care. Find out how Ottawa Demolition & Removals can help on your next project!
Why You Need Our
Load-Bearing Wall
Removal Service
When you got your house walls and structure built, you hired a team of experts. The same is needed for load-bearing wall removal. It is not a DIY job, and if done improperly can result in mistakes that create safety hazards and maybe even irreversibly damage your home. Even taking down small parts of a load-bearing wall without proper planning can result in injury to yourself.
So, make sure you give us at Ottawa Demolitions and Removal a call so our experienced team of demolition professionals can safely and securely remove your load-bearing walls.

What Load-Bearing Wall Removal Involves
With Ottawa Demolition & Removals, the process is pretty straightforward. When you contact us, a qualified engineer from our team will assess your home from the basement to the attic to determine which walls carry the weight of the building and which don’t.
Next, they’ll make architectural drawings pointing out the location of the load-bearing walls that can be safely removed without affecting your home’s structure. Typically, a wooden or steel beam is used to provide an alternative form of support to the building’s foundation instead of the load-bearing wall after removing it.
On site, our professional will make drawings indicating the number and shape of beams required to carry the load of your house. Then, these drawings will be reviewed and stamped to help you achieve a building permit for your load-bearing wall removal.
Back on our site, our team will design a complete plan before they set to work on your home property. If an additional structure requires removal, it’ll be taken into consideration. Our experts will take the risk and responsibility to make the right calls when taking down your load-bearing wall but will also discuss everything with you before they carry out the actual work.
The process itself involves building temporary shoring walls to brace your house’s structure and provide temporary floor support until the beams are installed. Then, we’ll take down the unneeded load-bearing wall and replace it with beams.

How Much It’ll Cost
By now, you must be asking how much we’ll charge you for our services. The cost of removing a load-bearing wall depends on many factors, including its size, location, and the amount of labour work it’ll demand during the process.
Because we can’t give you a precise quote without knowing the type of work you need, we offer a free consultation where one of our engineers visits your home and assesses your building’s construction. Then, they’ll provide you with a detailed layout of the load-bearing wall removal needed and its costs from A to Z.
Have no worries, though! Just because you requested a free quote doesn’t mean you’re obliged to commit to our service. If you’re not happy with the price, you can cancel right away. But we’re sure you won’t want to miss out on our top-notch service and affordable prices.

Word on the Street About Ottawa Demolition & Removals
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I used the service of Ottawa demolition this week to demo and remove a chimney, as well as demo the kitchen, main bath and parts of the basement in a 1960 house I just bought. Thierry was an excellent communicator, visited the house while I was away to determine if removing the chimney is doable, provided a fair quote which he respected when he invoiced me at the end of the project. The work the team did was excellent, they cleaned up the mess and treated the house gently despite the tons of brick and concrete. I highly recommend this company. Working with Thierry has been a very pleasant and stress-free experience.”
“Words can’t express how professional, efficient, and incredible Ottawa Demolition and Removals is. Thierry and his team brought an entire home back to framing for us and there wasn’t a single thing he missed. He went above and beyond to ensure the process went smoothly, and that all issues had been taken care of. His transparency, professional skills and knowledge makes him #1, by a long shot. We are extremely grateful to have dealt with Ottawa Demolition & Removals and are excited to keep working together.”
“We are a proud bathroom renovation company in Ottawa. We have always done our own demolition as we believe that it is a very important part of a renovation, it is also the first step where the customer establishes his first impression of the companies workforce. This year we decided to give a chance to "Ottawa Demolition and Removals" to work on our projects. WOW, we could not have found better. They are now preparing the majority of our job site prior to our installers arriving. I am very impressed with them, and so is my team. They are polite, on time, clean, fast, they present themselves well to the customer and they are easy to work with.”
“Thierry and his team were a pleasure to work with. I had just bought an older house that needed work, but first we need to gut the basement, kitchen and remove an old addition. Thierry gave me a competitive quote, and when I mentioned that we would really love to have the work done soon, he said "Can we start tomorrow?" They were done in three days! The team did a great job, they were conscientious, careful, and clean. When there was anything the team were uncertain about, Thierry contacted me right away while the job was ongoing to ask for clarity. I really appreciated that. I highly recommend Thierry and his team from Ottawa Demolition and Removals. Great guys.”
