Structural work is not the place to cut corners. Whether you are opening up a floor plan, repairing foundation damage, or reinforcing an aging frame, the work needs to be done correctly and to code.
As a structural contractor El Segundo CA property owners rely on, TAPS Construction, Inc. brings licensed expertise to every structural and framing project we take on.
El Segundo has a mix of older homes and newer builds, and each comes with different structural considerations. Here is how we typically help.
As a framing contractor El Segundo CA homeowners and builders call on, we handle new framing for additions, ADUs, and full remodels. Every frame is built to current code and inspected before it gets covered up.
Our framing work includes wall framing, roof framing, and floor system construction for both residential and light commercial projects.
Load bearing wall removal El Segundo CA homeowners request most often comes up during kitchen and living room remodels. Opening a floor plan requires careful engineering to make sure the load gets properly transferred.
We work with structural engineers when needed, install proper beams and supports, and pull every required permit before any wall comes down.
Not every general contractor is equipped to handle structural changes safely. Here is why this type of work matters so much.
Removing or altering a structural element without proper engineering can compromise the safety of your entire home. Cracks, sagging floors, and roof problems often trace back to structural issues that were never addressed correctly.
The City of El Segundo requires permits and inspections for any structural change. Skipping this step can create major problems if you ever sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Proper structural work also protects your investment. A wall removed correctly with the right support in place holds up for decades. One done incorrectly can lead to expensive repairs down the road.
If you notice any of these signs, it is worth having a licensed structural contractor evaluate your home before problems grow.
We inspect the structure and identify what is required, sometimes alongside a structural engineer.
For load bearing changes, we confirm the correct beam and support specifications.
We file all required documentation with the City of El Segundo.
Framing and structural work is completed to code with inspections at each stage.
The city confirms the work meets all structural requirements before we close out the project.
Structural work carries real risk when it is not done properly. Here is why El Segundo property owners trust our team with this type of project.
Our clients regularly tell us that structural changes were handled safely, passed inspection the first time, and never caused delays elsewhere in their project.
Many El Segundo homes were built decades ago using framing methods and materials that no longer meet current code. When we open up a wall or floor, we often find conditions that were never documented anywhere.
Because we work regularly in this area, we know what to expect from older El Segundo construction and how to address it properly rather than simply covering problems back up.
We also stay familiar with the City of El Segundo inspection process for structural work, which helps prevent delays that can stall an entire project.
Structural work often pairs with a larger project. If you are opening up your kitchen or living space, check out our home remodeling services.
