Steel Beam Replaces Bearing Wall For New Kitchen
Designing and engineering this kitchen was a team effort between the owners and E D Enterprises, Inc. A twenty-four foot bearing wall was removed and replaced with a twenty-four foot steel beam to create a more open space. The existing soffits and electrical were removed, as well. The owners were then able to plan the kitchen of their dreams.
First, we shored up the second floor and roof, and rerouted the electrical and gas line.
Walls were then framed for the new kitchen footprint. The bearing wall was then removed. The new steel was delivered to the home. The steel was raised into position and the steel column was installed and bolted to the foundation.
We then framed and dry walled around the steel beam.
