Two-Story Structural Wall Removal Experts

Removing a Wall That Carries the House

Removing a load-bearing wall in a two-story house changes how the entire structure behaves. Loads from above must be supported continuously while the wall is removed and permanently redirected once it’s gone.

We manage the sequence (temporary support, controlled removal, and final beam installation), so the structure remains stable at every stage. This approach prevents shifting, cracking, and inspection issues that can stall or derail a Salt Lake City remodel.

Whether you’re opening a kitchen or reworking a main floor layout, we focus on maintaining control of the structure from start to finish.

Thorough Structural Evaluations

"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!"
