BEFORE 
AFTER For the attic and crawlspace moments — where the truth about your wall lives.
A few key measurements tell us what the framing is doing and what beam you'll need.
You're our eyes on site. We direct the camera; you never have to guess what to show.
That's it. No ladders you don't already own, no tools you don't already have — and because the assessment is visual, a video call gets us exactly what an in-person visit would, in a fraction of the time and cost.
The most common question in remodeling — "is it load-bearing?" — usually sits unanswered for weeks while homeowners wait on an engineer's site visit. We compress that to a same-day video call, so your project keeps its momentum.
If the wall is load-bearing, that's not a "no" — it's a design question. Flush beam hidden in the ceiling? Dropped beam and a simpler build? We'll talk through what each looks like and roughly what it means for cost, so you decide with open eyes.
A surprising number of walls people assume are structural… aren't. When that's the case, you'll know the same day — and your remodel just got dramatically simpler and cheaper.
Reach out and we'll set up a Zoom call — often the same day. Because determining a load path is a visual process, there's usually no need for anyone to drive to your house. That's what keeps this fast and affordable.
A flashlight, a tape measure, and your cell phone. That's the whole equipment list — you're the camera, we're the engineer.
On the call, Cody directs you: point the camera here, shine the light along that beam in the attic, measure this span in the crawlspace. Step by step, we trace how the weight of your house travels around the wall you want gone. You'll actually understand your own home better by the end of the call.
Before you hang up, you'll know: is the wall load-bearing at all (sometimes it isn't — best call of the week), and if it is, what your removal options look like — beam in the ceiling for a flush look, or below it for simpler construction.
If you move forward, we design the beam, posts, and connections and deliver stamped drawings your contractor can price and your permit office will accept. No guesswork anywhere in the chain.
