"Daniel and his team worked around my schedule to find time for my small demo project. They arrived on time, and completed the project in the time frame that Daniel estimated. Their demo work was done with care, and they cleaned up after the project was completed. Wonderful experience and I would use them again if needed."

"Filipe offered us a fair price, was available to do the work almost immediately, arrived right on time, did the work (hauling away old cedar fence materials I had demoed myself) quickly and completely. He and his helper (both wearing masks) were very personable. A true pleasure. Iâ d hire them again in a heartbeat."

"I originally hired Emilio to remove popcorn ceiling ,re-texture and paint. I was really impressed with the work they performed. In fact, because of the great job they did, I had them install new doors for and and also re-texture one of my bathrooms. The price was reasonable, they were always on time, they kept me updated on where they were with each project. I plan on hiring them again to do more work in my home."

"Steve is an excellent problem solver and he figured out how to re-grade a slope under our low deck that was allowing water to flood in to our window well. He personally hand dug and graded on a couple of sweltering days and his work was thoughtful, neat and carefully done. Steve is very responsive and prompt and I think his service was reasonably priced."

"Cesar did an absolutely incredible job redoing our backyard wood patio! From start to finish, he was professional, detail-oriented, and clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. He walked us through the process, gave thoughtful recommendations, and stuck to both the timeline and budget we discussed. The craftsmanship is top notch and the new patio completely transformed our outdoor space. We’ve already received so many compliments from friends and neighbors. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, Cesar is your guy. Highly recommend!"

"These guys were amazing! I heard about them through a friend and contracted with them to renovate my basement after TWO FLOODS! They were responsive and let me know the process from beginning to end including time frames, etc. They believe in treating your home like their own. So if ever I had a question or concern, they addressed the issue before I brought it up or very quickly after I contacted them. Their price point for the work was fair and competitive. We love the finished product! We have a beautiful new basement living area, office, and bathroom. Other upgrades include new sump pump, new hot water heater, updated lighting, and reconfigured hvac. Thanks for everything!"

FAQs for demolition projects in Boulder, CO

To determine if a wall is load-bearing, start by checking your home’s original plans or asking a structural engineer. Exterior walls always carry weight, but interior ones only do if they sit over a beam or run perpendicular to floor joists. If a wall lines up with posts in the basement or falls directly under the roof ridge, assume it’s load-bearing and call a professional before attempting to remove it with a sledgehammer.

Calculating the wall load and sizing the beam must be performed by experts to ensure structural safety. You need a structural engineer to evaluate all load aspects and determine the proper beam dimensions. A professional engineer performs precise calculations and advises on any necessary enhancements, such as larger footings for support. An inspector then verifies that the revised structure meets all safety and code regulations before the finishing work begins.

Hiring a structural engineer is essential for ensuring your home remains structurally sound during any major renovation. Their responsibility is to deliver expert assessments and design recommendations for load-bearing modifications. The average cost to hire a structural engineer is $500, with rates ranging from $350 to $800. Consulting a licensed, experienced engineer guarantees that every structural project, whether constructing a new home or remodeling an existing one, is completed safely and efficiently.

Almost all load-bearing wall removals require a permit as they support everything above it, and building departments want proof that the new beam can handle the weight. Pulling a permit triggers plan review and inspections that confirm the work meets local code and safety standards. Skipping this step can lead to fines or being forced to rebuild later, so have your contractor pull the permit before work starts.

Removing a load-bearing wall to create an entrance for a carport or covered patio is a task that comes with defined cost implications. This modification requires extra structural adjustments to ensure safety and proper integration with the adjoining space. When you convert a wall into an entryway, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. The additional work required for this conversion reinforces the home’s integrity and ensures compliance with applicable building codes.
