Load-Bearing Column Removal
Serving McKinney and Surrounding Areas
Our Process
For Load-Bearing Column Removal
Load-bearing columns are essential in supporting the weight of the structure above them, but they can often disrupt the flow and design of an open-concept space. When removed correctly, these columns can be replaced with alternative support, such as beams, that maintain the integrity of the building while giving you the open, airy feel you’re looking for.
Removing a load-bearing column requires careful planning, engineering, and execution. At Load Bearing Beam Masters, we follow a meticulous process to ensure the removal is both safe and efficient, preventing any risk of damage or collapse.
At Load Bearing Beam Masters, we understand that removing a load-bearing column is not a decision to take lightly. Our team provides expert consultation and execution to ensure that every removal is done with precision, adhering to all structural engineering requirements. Whether you’re remodeling your home or a multi-family space, we can help you achieve the ideal layout while maintaining safety.
Step 1: Structural Assessment and Planning
Before any removal takes place, our team conducts a detailed structural assessment of your property. We work with certified engineers to identify the load carried by the column and determine the best alternative support system, typically a load-bearing beam or other structural reinforcement. This ensures that when the column is removed, the weight of the structure is redistributed evenly, maintaining the safety and stability of your home or building.
Step 2: Professional Removal and Beam Installation
Once the structural assessment is complete, our skilled contractors begin the removal process. We take great care to protect the surrounding area, including walls, floors, and ceilings, to minimize any disruption. After removing the column, we install a load-bearing beam to take on the structural load. Our team uses high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship to ensure that the new support system integrates seamlessly into your space.

We were having our wood floors replaced when our floor company discovered that areas of our sub-floor and joists needed to be replaced due to an old leak that hadn’t been properly repaired. Before we could proceed with installing the new floor, we needed to get this resolved. Thanks to Angie. I happened to find the Load Bearing Beam Masters and gave them a call. The owner, Jordan Hulcy, came out and gave us a game plan and an estimate to fix the problem.

Load Bearing Beam Masters was one of the locally owned businesses I reached out to after reading a customer review on Nextdoor. I filled out their form online and the next morning Jordan Hulcy, a co-owner with the company, responded to me via text. He asked a few questions and was ready to get us on his schedule for a free in-person visit to find out what we wanted to do and provide a same-day quote. We met with him just two days later. Jordan was genuinely friendly, listened to what we wanted done, and provided us with information on what our project would look like. He took that time to measure, take pictures, and provided us a quote before he left our appointment. We chose Load Bearing Beam Masters after reviewing our other quotes and options over the next week. Even then I was texting Jordan with more questions to get clarification on some of the language in our project agreement/contract. He responded to me the same day. Jordan was very transparent with us about the entire process including materials used. To get on the schedule, we paid 50% of our contracted total. Jordan immediately reached out to us to schedule the Engineer to come out. This was done around our schedule which we really appreciated. The same day the Engineer came out with Jordan, our project plan was finalized, and our wall removal project was scheduled for the next Tuesday. Project Day is here! On Tuesday morning the crew was scheduled to start at 7:30am. They began arriving about 7:00am to unload their lumber in their staging area in our front yard along with delivery of the trash trailer so they could clean up during and after the project. Promptly at 7:30am, Jordan walked up with his crew and introduced everyone. He walked them through the project area briefing them on the specifics. We had a big project, removing a total of two walls and a foyer doorway to open our living/family room to the foyer and kitchen areas. Kudos not only to Jordan, but his crew leader Trey, and team members Zach, Danny, Paco, and Jose. These guys were all friendly and comfortable to be around. They worked diligently all day for two days making sure to clean up after themselves. Thank you! We are thrilled with the experience and results and recommend Load Bearing Beam Masters.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 10 reviews
Engineering Expertise
In Load-Bearing Column Removal
Removing a load-bearing column is not a DIY project. It requires the expertise of structural engineers and experienced contractors to ensure the removal is done safely and effectively. At Load Bearing Beam Masters, we work with some of the top engineers in the McKinney area to guarantee that all structural modifications are compliant with local building codes and regulations.
Certified Engineers for Safe and Compliant Projects
Before any load-bearing column is removed, our team collaborates with certified structural engineers to evaluate the structural integrity of your building. They create detailed plans and calculations that determine how the weight will be redistributed once the column is removed. This ensures that your home or building remains safe and stable throughout the process.
Load-Bearing Beam Installation for Ultimate Support
Once we remove a load-bearing column, we install a new support system, often in the form of a beam. These beams are custom-designed to handle the weight and load previously supported by the column. We offer a variety of materials for beams, including steel and engineered wood, and we will work with you to choose the best option for your project.
