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

Open Concept Remodel Cost

Wall removal with beam installation: $5,000-$12,000 depending on span (10-20 feet typical in Missouri City homes). Includes engineering ($500-$2,000), permits ($500-$1,000), beam and posts ($2,000-$5,000), labor ($2,000-$4,000).

Benefits of Open Concept

Better traffic flow, increased natural light, easier entertaining, improved sight lines (monitoring children), and contemporary feel that appeals to buyers.
