WHY TRUST JHC

Our specialty in structural kitchen conversions comes from a belief that:

Homes should support how families actually live
Structural changes deserve professional care
Doing it right the first time matters

We take pride in clean work, clear communication, and responsible construction.

Wall Removal

Removing a wall isn’t just a remodel — it’s a structural decision.

That’s why we focus on doing it right:

Structural evaluation
Engineered beam design
Permitted construction
Clean, inspected installs

No guessing. No shortcuts.

The Problem We Solve

Your Kitchen Feels Closed Off...

Many Eastside homes built in the 1980s–2000s were designed with:

Boxed-in kitchens
Separate dining rooms
Load-bearing walls dividing living spaces

Today, homeowners want:

Open sightlines
More natural light
Better flow for family and entertaining

But, opening a wall safely requires more than a sledgehammer.

That’s where JHC comes in.

Why Homeowners Choose JHC

We Specialize — Not Generalize

We don’t try to do everything.

Our focus is structural kitchen wall removals and open-concept conversions.

Engineering-First Approach.
We coordinate with licensed structural engineers to ensure every beam and post is properly designed.

Permit-Ready, Inspector-Friendly Work.
We handle permits and inspections so there are no surprises mid-project.

Clear Process, Clear Communication
You’ll understand the steps, costs, and risks before construction begins.

Our Proven Process

1. Feasibility Consultation:
We evaluate your layout, framing direction, and structural considerations.

2. Structural Engineering:
We coordinate stamped structural drawings to determine beam size and support.

3. Clear Construction Pricing:
Once engineering is complete, we provide a detailed construction plan and pricing.

4. Professional Installation:
Beam installation, framing, electrical coordination, and inspections — handled correctly.

5. Final Walkthrough:
Clean, safe, and ready for the next phase of your home.

What Structural Wall Removal Typically Costs

Every home is different, but most kitchen wall removal projects fall into these ranges:

Structural wall removal only: high-teens to mid-$30Ks
Structural + partial kitchen updates: $40Ks–$60Ks
Full kitchen remodel with structural work: $75K+

*Final pricing depends on engineering, scope, and concealed conditions.

Who Is This For

This Is a Good Fit If You:

✔ Own an older home with a closed-off kitchen
✔ Want to open your space safely and legally
✔ Value professional planning and clear communication
✔ Understand that structural work requires proper design

This May Not Be a Fit If You:

✘ Are looking for the cheapest possible option
✘ Want to skip permits or engineering
✘ Expect exact pricing before walls are opened. (While the most accurate estimations are always our goal. There is only so much we can know before opening a wall.)
