Opening Up Arlington's Ranch Homes and Growing Neighborhoods, One Wall at a Time
Call 972-640-6090Arlington sits right in the middle of everything, between Dallas and Fort Worth, home to nearly 400,000 people and one of the more diverse housing markets in the entire Metroplex. Established neighborhoods full of mid-century ranch homes from the 1960s through the 1990s sit alongside newer developments built in just the last decade or two. That mix means the wall in your Arlington home could be framed very differently than the wall in your neighbor's house two streets over, and it's exactly why we treat every Arlington project as its own evaluation, not a copy paste job.
Load Bearing Wall Experts provides load bearing wall removal, wall moving, structural remediation, and porch column removal throughout Arlington and the surrounding area.

A meaningful share of homes here were built between 1940 and the late 1990s, classic ranch style layouts with straightforward framing, often single story, often with a center hallway design that homeowners today are eager to open up. At the same time, Arlington has seen some of the strongest home value appreciation of any city in the Metroplex over the past decade, and newer construction, including master planned communities like Viridian in the northeast part of the city, has brought a different structural profile into the mix entirely.
This matters for a very practical reason. A ranch home from 1975 with a traditional truss roof carries load very differently than a home built in the last ten years with modern engineered framing. We don't assume either one, we evaluate your specific home before ever talking about what's possible.
Tends to have the widest range of home ages and the largest volume of available housing stock in the city, which also means it's an area where we see a steady stream of renovation and layout update projects.
Skew toward larger, more established homes, some with more custom or higher end original construction.
Feature more traditional ranch builds from the 1960s through the 1990s.
Wherever your home falls in that range, the underlying question is the same, what is this wall actually doing, and what does it take to safely change that.
Many Arlington ranch homes were built with a fairly boxy, compartmentalized layout, separate kitchen, separate dining room, a hallway cutting through the middle of the house. Removing the right wall can completely transform that kind of floor plan into the open, connected space homeowners are looking for today.
Learn More About Wall RemovalRather than a full open concept, some Arlington homeowners just need a wall shifted a few feet, widening a primary suite, opening up a closet, or fixing an awkward hallway pinch point common in older ranch layouts.
Learn More About Wall MovingHomes built decades ago in established Arlington neighborhoods sometimes carry structural issues from past renovations that weren't done correctly, or simply from decades of normal wear and North Texas soil movement. We diagnose and properly correct these.
Learn More About Structural RemediationArlington has plenty of homes with classic front porch designs featuring more support columns than the roofline structurally requires. We open up that view while keeping everything properly supported.
Learn More About Porch Column RemovalArlington has appreciated significantly in value over the past several years, among the strongest growth rates of any city in the country over the last decade, which means more homeowners here are investing in renovations rather than moving, and more buyers are specifically looking for updated, open layouts when they shop. A well executed wall removal in an established Arlington neighborhood isn't just a lifestyle upgrade, it's a real investment in a home that's already appreciating.
That also means it's worth doing the structural work right. A poorly planned wall removal in a home you're planning to hold onto, or eventually sell, can create problems that show up later, sagging, cracking, uneven floors, exactly the kind of issues that scare off buyers or cost far more to fix after the fact than they would have cost to do correctly the first time.
Pricing in Arlington follows the same core factors as the rest of the Metroplex:
Given how many Arlington homes were built in a similar mid-century era, we do see some consistency in typical project scope across established neighborhoods, but every home still gets its own evaluation rather than a blanket estimate.
We'll come take a look at your specific wall and home, and give you a real number, not a rough range that changes once we're on site.

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!!

It's a reasonable factor to consider. Open floor plans are consistently one of the top features buyers look for, and Arlington's strong appreciation trend means renovation investments here have generally held their value well.
Generally yes, newer construction tends to use different framing and truss systems than homes built decades ago. We evaluate every home individually regardless of when it was built.
