Basement Load-Bearing Wall Removal

Open Your Basement Without Compromising Your Home

Removing a load-bearing wall in your basement is a structural decision, not just a design choice. In many Salt Lake City homes, basement walls support floors, stairs, and walls above.

At Load Bearing Pros, we focus exclusively on basement load-bearing wall removal, replacing structural walls with properly sized beams and columns that meet Utah code. Every plan is engineer-reviewed and built to ensure your remodel stays on schedule and structurally sound.

Whether you’re opening up a basement or reworking an older layout, we make sure your home remains supported from footing to roof.

  • 15+ Years of Experience

Our Basement Load-Bearing Wall Removal Process

“Kitchen islands become a reality when the load bearing wall is safely removed, and an appropriate support beam is installed.”
Greg Farnsworth - Load Bearing Pros

#1

Basement Structural Evaluation

We inspect your basement framing, joists, support walls, footings, and existing columns to determine how loads are being carried. You’ll receive a detailed report explaining whether the wall is load-bearing and what reinforcement is required before removal.

What our clients say about us.

"I highly recommend Greg and his crew!”


“We had a great experience working with Greg to remove a load bearing wall between our living and dining rooms. From the estimate to executing the work, Greg and his crew made the whole process so easy. He even connected us with drywallers to help get our project across the finish line. I highly recommend Greg and his crew!”

"Trustworthy, Professional and will get the job done!"


"Hired Greg for a basement dig after the previous contractor botched the job. He came with his crew the next day to fix what the other contractor screwed up. His crew did an awesome job digging out a crawl space basement, pouring concrete and adding steel beams under my 100 year old home. They got the job completed on time and done right. Highly recommend Load Bearing Pros! Trustworthy, Professional and will get the job done!"

"We couldn’t be happier with the quality of work"


"Had a basement & bathroom remodel done. It was so refreshing to work with a contractor who shows up when they say they will. Our job was completed earlier then we expected and they even worked through a holiday. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of work and our new basement."

"The end result is amazing!"


"I had three small to medium load bearing walls removed and replaced with a recessed support beam. Greg was very responsive and professional. He communicated well before, during, and after the job. His quote was fair and accurate. And most importantly, the end result is amazing! I'm very glad I chose to work with this team- they know what they're doing!"
