Load-Bearing Wall Engineer in Liberty, TX
That Liberty kitchen wall might be cosmetic framing, or it might be carrying half the roof. We prepare wall-removal designs under the responsible charge of licensed Professional Engineers. Permit review runs through City of Liberty Planning Department, so the wall-removal design is prepared to that authority's requirements. The result is an open Liberty floor plan with a structure that still does its job.

What Liberty property owners are deciding
The renovation plan in Liberty shows an open span, but the permit office wants stamped drawings. At resale in Liberty, an unpermitted structural change becomes a closing-table negotiation. The answer comes from a load-path evaluation of your actual house, not a rule of thumb.

Load-Bearing Wall Removal Engineering in Liberty
ALFA Engineering, LLC, a Texas-licensed professional engineering firm, evaluates and designs load-bearing wall removals for residential and commercial projects: determining which walls carry load, designing the replacement beam, posts, and connections, and preparing sealed structural drawings for permit and construction.
