ARC Masonry Group
Load-Bearing
Wall Removal
& Structural
Engineering
Open your living space without compromising the structural integrity of your home. We specialize in the complex physics of load redistribution—expertly removing restrictive walls and replacing them with engineered steel or timber headers. At Arc Masonry Group, we don't just create open concepts; we ensure your home remains structurally superior.
Structural Precision. No Compromise.
Every wall removal project begins with a forensic analysis of your home’s load paths. Our team manages the entire process: from temporary shoring and point-load reinforcement in the basement to the final precision placement of the main header. We handle the heavy lifting so you can enjoy the view.
Steel I-Beam Integration
Utilizing structural steel for maximum span with minimum depth—perfect for achieving completely flush "hidden" headers.
LVL & Timber Headers
High-performance engineered wood solutions for residential spans that require flexibility and traditional framing integration.
Foundation Reinforcement
Ensuring the weight is properly transferred all the way to the earth, including footing upgrades and basement post-reinforcement.
Seamless Transitions.
Our goal is a finish that looks like the wall was never there. We specialize in "recessed" or "flush" beams that sit inside the ceiling joists, allowing for a perfectly flat, continuous ceiling from one room to the next—the hallmark of a high-end open-concept renovation.
Forensic Assessment
Identifying load paths (Roof, Floor, and Dead Loads) and securing necessary engineering permits.
Shoring & Support
Building temporary "walls" to support the house before the original structure is even touched.
The Install
Precision placement of the new beam and permanent point-load supports, followed by a controlled "weight transfer."
