If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen wishing it opened straight into the living room, or looked at a stubby porch column and wondered why it’s even there, you’re not alone. Almost every homeowner in Dallas eventually runs into the same wall, sometimes literally.
Load Bearing Wall Experts was built around one simple idea: opening up a home shouldn’t mean gambling with its structure. We’re a Dallas based team that specializes in exactly one thing done extremely well, taking down, moving, or reinforcing load bearing walls so your home ends up more open, more livable, and just as strong as the day it was built.
We’ve worked in homes across Dallas, from older properties in Oak Cliff and East Dallas with pier and beam foundations, to newer construction in Frisco and McKinney with taller ceilings and different framing. Every home is a little different, and we treat every job that way. No copy paste estimates, no guessing games. Just a real evaluation of your specific wall, your specific home, and what it will actually take to do the job right.
When you call us, you’re not talking to a call center reading from a script. You’re talking to people who have physically opened up hundreds of homes just like yours and know exactly what to look for before the first cut is ever made.
This is the heart of what we do. Whether you want to knock down the wall separating your kitchen and living room or open up an entire downstairs floor plan, we handle load bearing wall removal from start to finish. That includes evaluating whether the wall is actually load bearing (a lot of homeowners assume wrong), designing the right support system to replace it, and executing the removal cleanly with minimal disruption to the rest of your home. Most single day jobs are wrapped up before you'd even expect, without dust and debris taking over your whole house.

Sometimes the problem isn't that a wall exists, it's that it's in the wrong spot. Maybe it's cutting a hallway too narrow, or blocking natural light from reaching a room that needs it. We relocate load bearing walls to a better position while keeping your home's structural support exactly where it needs to be. It's a more technical job than straight removal, and it's one we do often for Dallas homeowners reworking their layout without a full remodel.

Not every job starts with "I want to remove a wall." Sometimes it starts with a sagging ceiling, a door that won't close right, or visible cracking that's been getting worse. Those are signs your home's structure needs attention, not cosmetic fixes. We diagnose the actual cause and reinforce what's failing, whether that's a beam, a foundation issue affecting the framing above it, or a wall that was altered incorrectly at some point in the home's history.

Older Dallas homes in particular tend to have front porches with more columns than they actually need structurally, a design choice that made sense decades ago but often just blocks your view and makes the porch feel smaller than it is. We remove unnecessary porch columns and replace the support with a cleaner, more modern beam system, so your entryway finally looks the way it should.

A look at real load bearing wall removals, wall moves, and structural upgrades completed for homeowners across the Metroplex.
We know the idea of removing a structural wall can feel intimidating. That's normal, and it's actually a good instinct, because this isn't a job that should be taken lightly. Here's what the process actually looks like from the first phone call to the finished wall.
You call or fill out the form on this page, tell us a bit about your home and what you're hoping to change, and we schedule a time to come take a look in person. There's no charge and no pressure for this step.
We physically inspect the wall, your attic or crawl space if needed, and the surrounding structure to confirm whether the wall is load bearing and what it's currently supporting. This is where a lot of guesswork gets replaced with real answers.
For most load bearing wall projects in Dallas, the city requires a permit backed by an engineered plan. We handle the permitting process and coordinate the structural design so the replacement support (usually a steel or LVL beam) is sized correctly for your home.
On the day of the job, we protect the surrounding areas of your home, remove or move the wall, and install the new support system. Most residential wall removals are completed in a single day, with cleanup included before we leave.
We walk the finished space with you, answer any last questions, and make sure you're genuinely happy with the result before we consider the job done.
This is usually the first question every homeowner has, and we'd rather answer it honestly than make you dig for it. The cost of removing a load bearing wall in Dallas depends on a handful of factors:
Straightforward single story projects tend to sit on the lower end of the range, while two story homes or longer spans that require steel beam installation run higher due to the added engineering and labor involved. Every home is different, which is exactly why we don't publish a flat number and call it a day. What we do instead is come look at your specific wall and give you a real, honest quote based on what your project actually needs, not a rough guess that changes once we show up.
If a contractor gives you a firm price over the phone without ever seeing your home, that's usually a red flag, not a good deal.
This is genuinely all we do. We're not a general contractor who occasionally takes on wall removal between other jobs. That focus means fewer surprises and fewer mistakes on your project.
If a wall isn't load bearing, we'll tell you, even if it means a smaller job than you expected. If a project needs an engineer's involvement, we'll tell you that too. Our reputation in Dallas is built on being straight with people.
Your house isn't a job site to us, it's where you live. We protect floors and furniture, keep dust contained as much as possible, and clean up before we leave. Several of our reviews mention exactly this.
Most jobs are completed in a single day. That doesn't mean we rush the parts that matter. It means we're experienced enough to work efficiently without skipping steps.
Every project is backed by our workmanship guarantee, so you're not left wondering what happens if something needs attention down the road.
Highly recommended!! Everything from start to finish was smooth, transparent and worked like a well oiled machine. These guys know their stuff and will highly recommend.
Amazing work!! He was very knowledgeable and gave me all of my options up front. Very quick too! He took out the wall in between the kitchen and living room and added support, as well as remove a wall in the master bath. Start to finish it only took 2 days!!
Jonathan and Mark did a great job. They offered a fair price and went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and everything was in order. They were patient and great to work with, I highly recommend.
I had a dream of an open plan kitchen which I didn't think was possible in this house. Until I got in touch with Jonathon. His responsiveness and intelligence was on par. Him and his guys did a great job in a very timely manner.
Fair price and much better than competitors. Jonathan and Marc/Ernesto did a great job. A job that would've taken 2 days, they decided to stay extra late to ensure the beams were 100% in place and the project was finalized.
Load Bearing Wall Experts did a great job adding a beam to open up our kitchen. Jonathan even came up with a better option for installing the beam than what the engineer initially drew up. They are very efficient with demo, installation and cleanup being done in the same day.
Thank you to Jon and his team for their work. We had several steel beams installed, including a 30 foot beam. They kept the worksite clean and reliably were present until the work was done. We highly recommend them.
We're based in Dallas, and while a big share of our work happens right here in the city, we regularly take on projects throughout the wider Dallas Fort Worth area. Homes in different parts of the Metroplex come with their own quirks. Older neighborhoods closer to central Dallas, like Oak Cliff and East Dallas, tend to have pier and beam foundations and framing methods that are decades old, which changes how a wall removal needs to be approached. Newer builds out in Frisco, McKinney, and parts of Plano often have taller ceilings and different truss systems overhead. We've worked in both, and everything in between.
Beyond Dallas, we regularly serve Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Arlington, Irving, Garland, McKinney, and Grand Prairie, along with many of the other communities across North and Central Texas.
If you're not sure whether your city is in our service area, just give us a call. Chances are, it is.
There are some general clues, like whether the wall runs perpendicular to floor joists or sits above another wall on the floor below, but the only reliable way to know for certain is a physical inspection. Guessing wrong here can lead to serious structural problems, so we always recommend having it evaluated before you make any plans around it.
Yes, when it's done correctly. A load bearing wall can be safely removed as long as its structural role is properly transferred to a new beam or support system, sized and installed correctly, and often verified through the local permitting process. The danger only comes in when a wall is removed without understanding what it was supporting in the first place.
In most cases, yes. Dallas and the surrounding cities require a permit for structural work like this, typically backed by an engineered plan showing the replacement support. We handle this process as part of our service, so you're not left trying to navigate city requirements on your own.
Most single wall residential projects are completed in one day, including cleanup. More complex jobs, like longer spans requiring steel beams or projects involving multiple walls, may take a bit longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
We'd strongly advise against it. Even experienced DIYers can misjudge what a wall is supporting, and the consequences of getting it wrong range from cosmetic cracking to serious structural failure. This is one of those projects where the cost of a mistake far outweighs the cost of hiring it out properly.
Wall removal takes the wall out completely and replaces its support with a beam, opening up the space fully. Wall moving relocates the wall to a new position while preserving its structural function, which is useful when you want a different layout rather than a fully open one.
Some dust is unavoidable with any demolition work, but we take real steps to contain it, including sealing off work areas and protecting nearby floors and furniture. We also handle full cleanup before we consider the job finished.
It depends on the specifics of your wall and home, which is exactly why we offer free on site evaluations instead of guessing over the phone. Call us at 972-640-6090 and we'll get you a real answer.
Whether you already know exactly what you want or you just have a wall you've been staring at for years wondering "what if," we're happy to come take a look and talk through your options honestly. No pressure, no upsell, just a real conversation about what's possible for your home.
