Safe Wall Removal: How to Create an Open Floor Plan Without Risking Your Home

For homeowners in Buckhead and Sandy Springs, the goal of creating a large open living area is a top priority for 2026. However, taking down a wall is about more than just a sledgehammer; it requires a careful look at how your house stays standing. Our focus for Structural Work is on making sure your home remains solid when we swap out old walls for hidden support beams. By checking the path of the weight from your roof down to the ground, we prevent the sagging floors or cracked ceilings that happen when a project is rushed.

CRM Construction & Renovation provides expert General Contracting services that prioritize the long term safety and value of your North Atlanta property.

Simple Steps for a Strong Open Concept Home

Successfully opening up your home requires a careful focus on how weight moves through your structure:

Checking for Load Bearing Points

We look at your attic and basement to find which walls are actually holding up your house before any work begins.

Installing Heavy Duty Support Beams

Our team uses professional grade steel or wood beams to take over the job of the wall we remove so your ceilings stay perfectly level.

Using Temporary Support Walls

We build extra walls to hold up your house while the work is being done so there is zero risk to your property during the process.

Fixing the Foundation for New Weight

Sometimes a new beam needs extra support in the ground, and we make sure your Foundation is strong enough to handle the new pressure.

Confirming Everything is Solid

Our 2026 plans include final checks to make sure your new open space is 100% safe for your family to enjoy.

Investing in a professional structural plan today ensures your new open layout is beautiful and built to last.
