SSC is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Homeowners Beware: Poor Workmanship, Misrepresentation, and Costly Damage We hired Shane Christiansen of SSC General Contractors in Sept 2022 for a $49K exterior renovation?concrete patios (upper/lower), stairs, front porch resurfacing, and a cedar fence with gates. What we received was cracked, crumbling, and pitted concrete that looked decades old within months. Gates sagged and required constant adjusting. Concrete defects?cracking, spalling, pitting, and discoloration?appeared quickly. Shane's patch attempts made it worse, leaving mismatched overlays that became icy and hazardous. The front porch had to be redone three times and still failed. Shane misrepresented his experience, admitted a crew member's first time to build a fence, and stopped responding after early repair attempts. The result: a deteriorating project that devalued our home and left us facing full reconstruction, safety hazards, and major financial burden. Photos available to show damages, too large to upload"

FAQs for demolition projects in Salt Lake City, UT

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.
