"We had a great experience with Ramey's. I worked with Brandon over text and they were very easy to work with. We had them clean out an apartment after my mother passed and had them move some stuff to my sister's house and haul some stuff to the dump and even moved stuff to another tenant's apartment. They kept me updated on their arrival time and when they arrived they were friendly and professional. They handled everything with care. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing hauling or junk removal."

"These guys were able to come sooner rather than later, they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Had actually cancelled with another company because 3 Sons was able to fully accommodate my needs. They cleaned up after themselves , they have a receptionist who seems to be very efficient she also accommodated me to a Tee all while I was at work. It was such a great experience that I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you 3 Sons Moving and Hauling"

"Worked directly with the owner, Chris Westfall in the new design for deck steps and perimeter fencing. Chris was very patient working with my wife and I, as our expectations kept changing. Even in the build out we were still changing the design, Chris was accommodating and his crew responded professionally to those changes. The crew worked quickly and efficiently and completely cleaned up the area upon completion. We will definitely consider him for our next project and have already referred him to three of our neighbors ."

FAQs for demolition projects in Columbus, OH

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.
