Denis showed up on time and did exactly what he quoted. Fixed my back patio cover, removed damaged boards, and reattached my gutters. He is very experienced, friendly and efficient. Definitely would recommend and I will use him again.

Expert Structural Remodeling in Seattle, WA
Structural remodeling changes the bones of a home. It covers load-bearing wall removal, beam installation, home additions, second-story expansions, ADU and DADU construction, basement conversions, and foundation reinforcement. These projects require more than a good eye. They require a clear understanding of how a home carries its load from roof to foundation, and what happens structurally when any part of that path changes. Seattle-area homes present real structural complexity. Older craftsman and mid-century houses often have prior modifications that altered original load paths. Homes on sloped lots in neighborhoods across the Eastside and Kitsap Peninsula face additional foundation considerations. Getting the structural work right from the start protects the rest of the project. When a wall comes out, the beam that replaces it must be sized to carry the load above it correctly. Span length, story count, and the weight of roof or floor systems above all factor into that calculation. A structural engineer determines the correct specification. We coordinate that process as part of the overall project so nothing moves forward until the structural plan is sound. For homeowners who want to stay in the house during construction, phased structural work is possible. The key is sequencing. Structural tasks get planned in a specific order so that temporary supports, dust barriers, and utility disruptions stay limited to defined areas at any one time. Good upfront planning is what makes that work. Framework Construction is personally involved in every project, and that planning detail is where we focus first.

FAQ
Structural Remodeling FAQ
Common questions about structural remodeling in Seattle, WA.
A structural remodel changes how your home carries its load. This includes removing load-bearing walls, adding beams, building additions, expanding to a second story, and converting basements or garages into livable space.
Yes, any work that touches a load-bearing wall or changes your home's load path requires a structural engineer to specify the correct beam and support design. Framework Construction coordinates this as part of the project so you have one point of contact across the Bellevue area.
A structural remodel changes walls, beams, framing, or the foundation rather than just finishes. If the work affects how your Kirkland home carries weight from roof to ground, it is structural.
Staying in your home during structural work is possible when the project is carefully phased. Work gets sequenced so that temporary supports, dust barriers, and utility shutoffs are limited to one defined area at a time, keeping the rest of your Sammamish home livable.
Beam size depends on the span of the opening, the number of stories above, and the weight the beam must carry. A structural engineer calculates those loads and specifies the correct beam before any wall comes down in your Redmond home.
