Open Concept Remodeling in Spokane
Remove the wall between your kitchen and living room. Engineering handled. Permits pulled. Done right.
The Problem with Older Spokane Homes
If your home was built before 1980, there’s a good chance the kitchen is cut off from the rest of the main floor. That’s not a design choice — it’s just how homes were built in that era.
The wall between the kitchen and living or dining room is almost always load bearing. It’s carrying weight from above. You can’t just take it down.
But you can remove it the right way — with engineering, a permit, and a properly installed beam. That’s what we do.
What the Finished Result Looks Like
When WallBeGone is done:
- The wall is gone
- A beam sits in its place, flush with the ceiling or slightly exposed depending on your preference
- The ceiling, floor, and surrounding walls are patched, textured, and painted
- The space feels completely different — larger, connected, more functional
This is the single highest-impact remodel you can do on a closed floor plan home. Nothing else changes a space this dramatically for the cost.
What’s Included
Structural Engineering
Licensed engineer specifies the beam. Included in your contract.
City Permit
We pull it. You don’t make a single call to the building department.
Demo and Shoring
Wall removed safely with temporary shoring to carry the load during work.
Beam Installation
Properly sized and seated — GLB or LVL depending on span and load, installed on posts that go to foundation.
Finish Work
Ceiling patch, texture, paint, floor patch, trim. Full finish — no second contractor.
Common Questions
Will there be a beam showing?
Usually the beam sits above the ceiling line or flush with it. In some cases — long spans, heavy loads — a small portion may be visible. We walk through the finish options before we start.
How long does it take?
Most projects run two to four weeks from permit approval to final walkthrough.
Does my home qualify?
If it was built between 1920 and 1985 and has a closed kitchen, there’s a strong chance it’s exactly what we do. Send us photos — we’ll tell you.
