The foundations of this company are built on the desire to run a compassionate, helpful, and honest business. We understand that when contractors or homeowners are searching for an engineer to make a project come to life, there will be questions and concerns that we are ready to tackle. Most Engineering firms have a lot of hands on the same project. When this happens it leaves room for miscommunication, errors, and frustration. At S&E we’ve eliminated this pain point by limiting the amount of projects we take on in our small (but mighty!) operation. Giving you the speed, accuracy, affordability, and peace of mind you need for your next design. Competitive pricing and quick turnaround times. We look forward to working with you!
"Prompt and courteous. Professional opinion needed and received."

"My client relationship with B&H Specialty Construction commenced when I hired David and his exceptional team for an opulent bathroom remodel following the devastation of Hurricane Ian. After an unfortunate termination of my previous contractor due to exorbitant pricing, I found solace in the expertise and value of B&H. Their cadre of skilled tradesmen exemplifies integrity and time-honored values, qualities for which I am profoundly grateful. From the outset, their work crews have consistently arrived punctually, infused with positive energy while they demonstrated kindness and respect for my property, pets, and family. They adeptly navigated challenges such as deteriorated flooring and termite damage with remarkable professionalism, providing timely, evidence-based solutions while minimizing additional costs. Their superior communication skills have proven invaluable; they consistently present clear, straightforward options, delineating the pros and cons of each. As a woman who has occasionally altered her vision during projects, B&H has managed my requests with exceptional flexibility and understanding. Their unwavering commitment to delivering meticulous craftsmanship is evident, which is why I have entrusted them with numerous projects across multiple properties, including: - Lavish bathroom remodel - Structural foundation stabilization and reconstruction of a pier construction, bayfront Sarasota, FL home - Conversion of a single bathroom into two distinct bathrooms - Comprehensive kitchen demolition and remodel, encompassing exterior wall reframing and siding replacement - Tailored cabinet, countertop, and backsplash design and installation - Installation of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and tile flooring - Bespoke bayfront window design and installation - Interior framing, drywall, painting, and installation of modern baseboards - Custom tongue and groove vaulted ceiling installation - Design and construction of an elegant front porch and steps - Driveway paver design and installation, pool cage, exterior patio, and expanded pool deck - Installation of quality exterior doors - Fireplace renovation - Construction of an interior laundry room from garage space - Comprehensive plumbing replacement - Electrical rewiring - Installation of new rain gutters - French drain system design and implementation, effectively preventing interior water intrusion during Hurricane Helene - Rip-Rap seawall construction and property grading with construction fill I confidently endorse B&H Specialty Construction to my friends, colleagues, and neighbors, assured they will be thoroughly impressed with the service and the substantial value added to their properties by selecting these reputable, local, contractors.

Look for walls that run perpendicular to floor joists, directly above foundation walls, or other walls stacked above them on upper floors. Walls with large beams or posts are load-bearing. However, visual inspection alone isn't always reliable. The safest approach is to consult with a structural engineer or experienced contractor who can examine your home's construction, possibly review building plans, or perform small exploratory openings to make a definitive determination.
Most municipalities require permits for wall removal, especially for load-bearing walls. These permits ensure that structural changes meet building codes and safety standards. Even non-load-bearing wall removal might require permits if electrical or plumbing modifications are involved. The permitting process includes submitting plans, paying fees, and scheduling inspections. Working without required permits can result in fines, complications when selling your home, and potential insurance issues if problems arise later.
A non-load-bearing wall removal project might take only one to two days for demolition and basic cleanup. Load-bearing wall projects require three to five days or more, depending on the complexity and need for structural support installation. The timeline will extend if your project involves rerouting utilities or extensive finishing work. Larger projects in multi-story homes may take up to two weeks to complete. Additionally, obtaining permits can add several weeks to your project timeline before work begins.
