Unlock your home’s full potential with structural remodels! Create open spaces, add rooms, or fix issues with Campione Construction’s expert help.

Although our homes have many uses, occasionally their original layout just does not suit our changing requirements. There comes a time when aesthetic improvements alone are insufficient, whether the problem is a small kitchen, an awkward layout, or a need for additional living space. At this point, thinking about doing a home renovation that involves structural adjustments turns from a choice into a frequently required and very profitable investment.

Breaking Down Barriers to Create Open Concepts

One of the main reasons for many structural remodels is the desire for an open-concept living area. In order to create a feeling of openness and connectedness, modern living frequently places a high value on smooth transitions between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. It takes careful planning, engineering know-how, and adherence to building codes to remove internal walls, especially load-bearing ones. Your home’s flow and feel can be drastically changed by this revolutionary change.

Home Additions: Increasing Your Footprint

A home addition is the best structural modification if your existing house just does not have enough square footage. A new master suite, an enlarged kitchen, or a completely new wing for expanding families or new interests could all fall under this category. Complex tasks like foundation work, framing, roofing, and integrating new systems with preexisting ones are all part of home additions. They greatly increase property value and livability when done correctly.

Relocating Kitchens and Bathrooms to Address Functional Deficiencies

Occasionally, the original design of a house places bathrooms or kitchens in awkward or small spaces. Significant structural work is required to move these crucial rooms, including rerouting HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems as well as possibly changing wall or floor joist configurations. This type of structural alteration can significantly enhance your home’s ergonomics and functionality, even though it requires more work than straightforward cosmetic upgrades.

Did you know 

That one of the top five reasons homeowners do significant renovations is to rearrange interior spaces, which may include adding or removing walls?

Fixing and Strengthening: Framing and Foundation Problems

Not every structural modification focuses on open concepts or expansion. In order to fix underlying structural problems like sagging floors, damaged framing, or foundation cracks, a remodel may occasionally be required. Ignoring these issues can eventually cause more serious and expensive harm. Your home’s long-term safety, stability, and integrity are guaranteed when you make these crucial structural repairs.

Optimizing Vertical Space: Attic Conversions & Basement Finishing

Within the footprint of your current house, unfinished basements and attics represent substantial unrealized potential. Structural changes, such as raising basement ceilings, strengthening floor joists, adding egress windows, or adding dormers to attics to improve headroom and natural light, are frequently necessary to turn these areas into livable spaces. Without expanding the external footprint of your house, these conversions provide useful living space.

Our specialty at Campione Construction is comprehending your needs and assessing the possibility of structural change in your house.

Commonly Asked Questions

How can I determine whether a wall can support weight? 

A professional evaluation is necessary to determine whether a wall is load-bearing. To determine how the roof and upper floors are supported, it entails looking at the house’s blueprints, attic, and basement/crawl space. A structural engineer or skilled contractor like Campione Construction should always be consulted before attempting to remove a wall.

Do special permits need to be obtained for structural changes? 

Definitely. Certain building permits will be needed for any renovation that involves structural alterations, such as removing load-bearing walls, adding on, or changing the foundation. Campione Construction makes sure your project conforms with local building codes and manages all required permits.
