What's included · what's not

The full structural-remodel scope in writing before we start.

Structural work is where the shortcuts show up years later — sagging headers, cracked drywall over doorways, doors that stop closing right. Every load path is engineered by a licensed structural engineer, priced fixed in the bid, and inspected under permit. Structural window: 2–6 weeks typical.

Sealed engineered beam calculations
Permit application + fees
Temporary shoring / bracing
Selective demolition
Steel or engineered lumber beam supply
New bearing posts + footings
Foundation cuts / re-pours as needed
Framing repairs at connection points
MEP relocation around new structure
Drywall patching to match
Rough + final inspection scheduling

Not included (transparent)

Full-room refinish (unless bundled with a renovation)
Furniture protection / moving (Aldo’s crew tarps and dust-contains)
Landscape restoration if excavation is required

Timeline

2–6 weeks for the structural work itself. Interior finish follows on the fixed-bid schedule. Larger scope structural remodels bundled with a full renovation run 2–6 months total.

Why owners pick Dellamano for structural work

The reason a load-bearing wall comes out clean the first time.

01Engineered before quoted

Every structural quote starts with a licensed structural engineer sizing the beam and connection points. No back-of-napkin math. No surprised at inspection.

02Temporary shoring is a scope line

Real temp support, real load transfer, real safe removal. Not the hand-off-a-2x4-and-hope shortcut that sags the ceiling above.

03MEP relocation in-house

New beams almost always run through existing plumbing, wiring, or ductwork. Because Aldo holds all three MEP licenses, relocations happen on the same crew calendar — not held up waiting on subs.

04One warranty conversation

Structure, framing, MEP, and finish all warranted under one contract with one signature. No finger-pointing if a header sags at year three.

Frequently asked

Structural Remodeling · the questions Aldo answers every week.

How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?

You don’t — we do. Every structural remodel starts with a walk-through, plan review, and (when needed) an engineer’s evaluation of the framing above the wall in question. Any wall carrying roof or floor load requires an engineered beam or new bearing point before removal. We spec, quote, and install the whole assembly under one fixed bid.

Can you install steel beams to open up my floor plan?

Regularly. LVL, PSL, and W-section steel beams sized by a licensed structural engineer, spec’d for your span and load, and installed with new posts / bearing points into the foundation. Every install pulled under permit and inspected. Aldo signs the general permit personally under FL CGC #1525289.

Do you handle foundation modifications for structural remodels?

Yes — new footings for beam bearing points, foundation slab cut and re-poured for plumbing relocations, and stem-wall additions when a new bearing wall lands off the existing foundation. Concrete, rebar, and inspection scheduling all in-house under the general contract.

How long does the structural portion of a remodel take?

Two to six weeks for the structural work itself (demo, beam install, foundation work, framing repairs, inspection). Interior finish work follows on the fixed-bid schedule after inspection sign-off. If the structural remodel is part of a larger renovation, both scopes are sequenced on the same crew calendar.

What Coral Springs Structural Projects Actually Require

Coral Springs sits in Broward County, where the Building Division enforces the Florida Building Code — one of the most wind-load-specific codes in the country. Any wall removal, beam installation, or foundation modification requires a permit, sealed engineer drawings, and a final inspection before the wall is closed up. Pulling a load-bearing wall without those steps isn't just a code violation — it's a liability that shows up at resale when the title search flags an open permit or unpermitted structural change.

Broward County's high-velocity hurricane zone requirements mean beam sizing and connection hardware are held to stricter uplift standards than inland markets. Homes built in Coral Springs during the 1970s and 1980s expansion — many of them concrete-block construction with wood-truss roofs — often have load paths that aren't obvious from looking at the wall. A walk-through and framing plan review is the first step on every job here, not an upsell.

For commercial projects in Coral Springs, the city's Building and Zoning Department adds an additional review layer for occupancy classification changes — relevant when a structural remodel is tied to a tenant build-out or healthcare facility modification, both of which Dellamano has experience coordinating.

Florida Building Code wind-load provisions apply to every beam connection

Coral Springs commercial remodels may require city zoning review alongside the building permit

Older CBS (concrete block structure) homes common in the area require special framing evaluation before wall removal

How the Structural Remodeling Scope Gets Built

Before demolition starts, a licensed structural engineer evaluates the load path, sizes the replacement beam — LVL, PSL, or W-section steel depending on the span — and produces sealed calculations the building department accepts. That engineer evaluation is part of the scope, not a separate engagement you have to coordinate yourself.

Temporary shoring goes in before the wall comes out. That's not optional and it's not a line item to negotiate away — it's the step that keeps the ceiling above where it belongs while the new bearing point is established. New posts bear down to footings; if a footing doesn't exist where the new load lands, it gets poured as part of the same scope.

Because new beams frequently run through existing plumbing, wiring, or ductwork, MEP relocations are handled under the same general contract rather than handed off to separate subcontractors on separate schedules. Framing repairs at the new connection points and drywall patching to match the existing finish close out the structural window before the broader renovation sequence picks up.

New bearing posts and footings poured in-house when the existing foundation doesn't cover the new load point

Permit application, inspections, and final sign-off managed by Dellamano

Common questions

Do I need a permit to remove a wall in my Coral Springs home?

Yes — any wall that is or might be load-bearing requires a permit, sealed engineer drawings, and a final inspection under the Florida Building Code. Broward County Building Division enforces this, and unpermitted structural work creates a disclosure obligation and a potential stop-work order at resale. Dellamano handles the permit application and inspection scheduling as part of every structural scope.

How much does structural remodeling typically cost in South Florida?

Cost is driven by beam span and material (engineered lumber versus W-section steel), whether new footings are needed, and how much MEP — plumbing, wiring, or ductwork — crosses the new beam path. In this market, single-wall removal scopes with a straightforward beam install commonly land in the mid-to-upper four figures; multi-wall or foundation-involved scopes run higher. A walk-through gives you a fixed-bid number specific to your conditions — no ranges at signing.

Can a structural remodel be bundled with a larger renovation?

Yes, and it's often the most efficient sequencing. The structural window — typically two to six weeks — runs first, gets inspected, and then finish trades follow without having to work around an open structural question. Dellamano coordinates both phases under one contract, which keeps the schedule from stalling between the structural and finish scopes.
