Due to a recent influx of requests for these type of projects we are reposting this from Oct 27.

Below are some photos from a recently completed structural wall removal project in Midlothian Va.

We had an engineer calculate roof and second floor loads on this 2 story colonial style home. Engineered LVL beams were used to span a distance of 19′ across these 2 rooms to create 1 large room. LVL engineered lumber comes 1 3/4″ in widths and a multitude of heights. Beams sizing can be determined by either the number of members that are bolted together 0r the height size of the lumber (i.e.-3-14″ members can handle the loads of 2-18″ members).

The project started by procuring a Building permit from Chesterfield Co. Sheetrock was removed from center wall and existing electrical was relocated to adjacent walls. Recessed ceiling lighting was installed on each side of the HVAC duct work. Temporary walls were installed to hold the 2nd floor while we installed the beam work to hold the upper floor and roof loads. Sheetrock and trim moulding was reinstalled. The floor was removed from one side of the room and was reset covering the areas where the interior walls once were.

We have more photos of this project and many others feel free to contact us for more information and your questions.

 Master suite and Kitchen addition in Chesterfield Co has been insulated. The insulation values are R-19 for the floor, R-13 for walls and R-38 for ceiling. The ceiling insulation has been increased from R-30 which has been the standard for the last few years. Prior to that R-22 was the minimum for vaulted ceilings. Due to these changes in Building codes roof rafters must have a larger dimensions in height for the increased thickness of insulation.
These mandatory upgrades are good for the environment and and energy usage, But have increased some building cost for all present and future projects. Even newer building codes will be going into effect in March 2012.
Please feel free to comment or ask questions on any of our posts.

Interior wall removal before and after photos. We combined 2 smaller room and created 1 large room by removing this interior wall. Our process started by removing the Sheetrock between the room and relocated the electrical wire to new locations in nearby walls.

A temporary wall was built to support the ceiling as we removed the framing and installed a new header across the new opening. New Sheetrock was installed between the rooms and new trim wall installed using bendable moulding for the arch. Most walls in your home can be removed or altered so contact us so we can discuss the possibility and limitations of your interior expansion.
