Communication was excellent, he came on time, and took everything that we agreed and more. Perfect service overall."

"Sonny is extremely reliable. He shows up as planned and gets right to work. His attention to deatail is outstanding. He will not quit on a task until he is satisfied that it has been done to his high standard of quality work. We could not be happier with the vinyl flooring installation he just completed for us. This is not the first time we have hired Sonny. He had previously insalled soffitt vents for the attic; front and back of our house. We have been so impressed with his work that we are now discussing plans for our next project: a major bathroom renovation. I would highly recommend Reale Construction to anyone looking for high quality work at a fair price."

"I needed my garage demolished as soon as possible for insurance purposes. Despite the cold and snow, Jose and his crew showed up and got the project done in less than half a day for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them. I will be using their services for future projects."

"I hired BTJ Demo last year during my kitchen remodel. In regards to that job the results were outstanding. They finished 2 days earlier than projected and most importantly addressed EVERY minor concern we mentioned prior to the job. This review is specifically for the 2 recent snow storms that rocked my area. The storm was so bad that snow removal companies were not able to clean my property within a reasonable timeframe or the astronomical cost. I reached out to BTJ for recommendations in a last ditch effort. This is the best part....they informed me that I could use them for snow removal AND the dude gave me 5 recommended snow removal companies! I valued that kind of integrity and used them. They did a FANTASTIC job cleaning up the snow! Throughout both snow storms they came through 3 times to plow, shovel and salt my driveway! I was not expecting that level of service. I highly recommend this company...they definitely went above and beyond. "

FAQs for demolition projects in Cold Spring, NY

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.
