Oakville Load Bearing Wall Removal

This Oakville load bearing wall removal was a great project by Toronto Custom Concepts that removed a load bearing in the back section of this bungalow.   As you can see in the picture the new yellow LVL as been added where the previous interior wall was, and now the load is being carried across the LVL and the new point load carrier posts that run thru in to the basement.   Our engineers that we worked with have completed hundreds of these types of projects, so rest assured that Toronto Custom Concepts can showcase many of our successful client projects that required the removal of a load bearing wall.   Let us know if you have any questions on how to approach this type of project!

As a tip when you are looking at the renovation pictures, try and use a window as a reference point as many of the shots are tough to make out all of the transitions from old to new.

Toronto Wall Removal

This Toronto wall removal project included an entire first floor of a 2 storey having all of its interior walls being removed.    As you can imagine, many of the internal walls were load bearing, so we had to work with our engineer on the new drawings and the City for the permits/inspections.   The net result of opening up the entire 1st floor outside of upgrading the staircase, was to incorporate 3 massive I-Beams, multiple LVLs and some steel posts in which we were able to nicely conceal.

Toronto Load Bearing Wall Removal

This TorontoCC load bearing wall removal project west of Toronto is a great project where our client wanted to renovate their entire 2 storey home and take a traditional 30 year old home and then convert the main floor to a more contemporary open concept home lay out.   As you can see in this phase of the load bearing wall removal project, we built up a series of temporary walls to support the load of the second floor.   We brought in our engineering company that we partner to size up what was required to support the load.  Once they crunched all of the numbers and gave us the specs, we had 3 custom I-Beams cut to size and then installed to able to safely remove the interior walls of the home and to meet all of the appropriate city codes and inspections.

Structural Wall Removal Before and After Pics

This renovation was a Toronto bungalow home renovation which required the removal of an interior load bearing wall to accommodate an open concept floor layout between the kitchen and the family room.

The renovation included obtaining the necessary building permits based on the engineer drawings. Then after properly securing and supporting the home and addressing all necessary city code inspections, we then installed 28 foot LVL beams across the centre of the home.  Once completed, the additional open space provided plenty of room for our clients new custom kitchen island that they added into the scope of this renovation.

Below are the before, during and after pictures of the structural renovation and new kitchen island with LED accent lighting running across the centre of their home.

Structural Wall Removal

We completed this home renovation to open up a wall that was carrying a load was another great project completed by TCC which included engineering and architectural drawings, city inspections and it included us installing a huge 30 foot structural beam across an entire cross section of this beautiful home in a secluded wooded area in west Toronto.

Once the renovation was complete you can see that the home has been opened up significantly and now provides an open concept thru the kitchen to family room with a brand new island and a row of pot-lights to bring all the spaces together nicely.
