Temporary Support First
Before a bearing wall is cut, the loads above need controlled support. Timberr plans shoring, access, sequencing, and demolition limits so floors and ceilings do not move while the new beam is installed.

Why Timberr Framing
Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Hamilton, done right
Beam Seat Accuracy
LVL, PSL, glulam, or steel-supported beams only work when they sit on the designed bearing. We frame pockets, posts, jack studs, and point-load paths so the beam is not floating over weak framing.
Hidden Load Checks
Older homes can hide doubled joists, stacked partitions, roof loads, and previous renovations inside the wall. Timberr exposes and coordinates those conditions with the GC and engineer before final framing is closed.
Finish-Friendly Openings
Open-concept work still has to leave straight drywall planes, ceiling lines, and trim returns. We frame the rough opening cleanly so the finished beam, flush ceiling, or cased opening can be completed without awkward build-outs.
Our Process
Our Process
Load-bearing wall removal replaces a structural wall with an engineered beam, posts, bearing points, and temporary support so floor, roof, and wall loads transfer safely through the revised layout. Timberr Framing coordinates with your engineer, architect, and GC, installs structural wood or engineered-wood framing to the drawings and Ontario Building Code, and leaves the opening ready for inspection and finishing.
- 01 Send your inquiry, plans, drawings, or a description of the build.
- 02 We review the plans and assess the Hamilton site, then quote and schedule the crew.
- 03 Our crew frames the structure on site, to your drawings and the Ontario Building Code.
- 04 We leave it plumb, square, and ready for the framing inspection and the trades that follow.
Local Context
Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Hamilton
What Affects Your Load-Bearing Wall Removal Quote
Removing a load-bearing wall is one of the highest-risk moves in a renovation, so Timberr Framing puts temporary support in place before anything is cut, not after. The crew checks for hidden loads the drawings might not show (a second-storey wall landing on the one being removed, for instance) before committing to the engineer's beam and column plan.
Quotes depend on span, the load above (roof only versus a full second storey), and whether temporary shoring needs to stay in place through multiple work days. Timberr sets beam seats to the exact bearing the engineer specifies and finishes the opening so trim and drywall crews get a clean, finish-friendly edge, all coordinated with the GC and structural engineer.
Timberr Framing coordinates removal timing directly with the GC and structural engineer, since temporary shoring often needs to stay in place across more than one work day, and the schedule has to account for that safely.
