Opening Up Kitchens Without Compromising Structure

Many homes in Salt Lake City (especially split-levels, mid-century builds, and newer tract homes) use interior kitchen walls to support roof loads, floor joists, or second stories. That’s why removing a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room is a big structural decision.

We evaluate how your home was built, where loads travel, and what support must replace the wall. That usually means a properly sized beam, engineered connections, and correctly placed posts or concealed supports.

What Utah Homeowners Worry About (And How We Solve It)

Is the Wall Actually Load-Bearing?

We confirm it through structural evaluation, rather than just assumptions based on layout.

Will Structural Changes Stall My Remodel Timeline?

Structural changes can delay projects if plans aren’t clear or properly engineered. We provide engineer-reviewed beam designs and documentation upfront so construction can move forward confidently.

Can I Still Get the Open Look I Want?

Yes. We design beam solutions that minimize visual impact and work with your remodel goals, including flush beams, partial drops, or decorative wraps where appropriate.

"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!"

    Frequently Asked Questions

    If the wall runs perpendicular to ceiling joists, supports an upper floor, or sits near the center of the home, it often carries a load. We confirm this with a structural evaluation before anything is removed.
