Ahwatukee Load-Bearing Wall Removal – Open Up Your Space with Confidence

Open Floor Plans Start with Smart Structure

Many Ahwatukee homes were built with closed-off layouts and small, segmented rooms—common in the ‘80s and ‘90s. While these designs once worked for formal living, today’s homeowners want bright, open, connected living spaces.

If your remodeling vision includes creating an open-concept kitchen, great room, or extended living space, chances are you’ll need to remove a load-bearing wall. That’s where Homework Remodels comes in.

We’re one of the few design-build contractors in the Phoenix area with extensive expertise in safely removing load-bearing walls—especially in structural remodels where engineering, style, and function must work together seamlessly.

What Is a Load-Bearing Wall?

A load-bearing wall supports structural elements of your home—such as the roof, ceiling joists, or upper floors. Unlike partition walls, these walls play a critical role in the stability of the home.

Removing a load-bearing wall requires:

• A clear understanding of your home’s structural layout
• A detailed engineering plan to redistribute loads
• Proper permitting and inspections
• High-level craftsmanship to integrate new beams, posts, or headers
• A flawless finish that blends with your new open space

Homework Remodels handles all of this—so you can focus on the exciting design possibilities.

Why Remove a Load-Bearing Wall in Ahwatukee?

Ahwatukee homes often have interior layouts that feel cut off from each other. By removing a central wall, we help homeowners:

• Open up the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one cohesive space
• Improve natural light and visual flow
• Create larger entertaining areas or great rooms
• Increase visibility for parents with young children
• Make a modest footprint feel larger and more modern

Whether you’re in The Foothills, Club West, or Lakewood, your home can benefit from a layout that’s aligned with today’s open, connected lifestyle.

Our Design-Build Process for Wall Removal in Ahwatukee

As a full-service design-build remodeling company, we manage every aspect of wall removal and open-concept design—from initial planning to final paint touch-ups.

1. In-Home Consultation

We assess your existing layout, confirm whether the wall is structural, and discuss your vision.

2. Engineering & Structural Planning

Our design team works with licensed structural engineers to develop a safe plan to support your home without the existing wall.

This may include:

• Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams
• Structural steel beams
• Recessed headers or visible architectural beams
• Posts, columns, or framing integrated into cabinetry or décor

3. Permitting & City Approvals

We manage the entire permitting process with the City of Phoenix to ensure code compliance and safety.

4. Construction

Our experienced crew removes the wall and installs the new structural system with precision. We then restore drywall, flooring, trim, lighting, and finishes for a seamless result.

5. Project Completion

Learn about our Design-Build System that unites preconstruction planning, design, budgeting, and construction under one experienced team.

We walk you through the new space and address any final touches to ensure your complete satisfaction.
