Open Concept Kitchen Remodeling in Missouri City
Open-concept layouts are the #1 request in Missouri City kitchen remodels. Tell Projects handles structural engineering, permits, and professional execution for load-bearing wall removal.
Open Concept Remodel Process
- Structural Assessment: Engineer determines if wall is load-bearing (90% of walls between kitchen and living room are load-bearing in Missouri City homes)
- Beam Design: Steel or LVL beam sized to support roof/second-story load
- Permit Application: Missouri City requires building permit and engineering letter ($800-$1,500)
- Temporary Support: Walls installed to support structure during beam installation
- Beam Installation: Posts and beam installed, load transferred, wall removed
- Finishing: Drywall patched, flooring transitioned, painting completed
