Structural Modifications

MDI Custom Homes LLC is a licensed general building contractor (Florida License #CBC1267559) providing structural modification services for residential projects throughout Pinellas County. From load-bearing wall changes and interior reconfigurations to beam installations and structural reinforcements, our work is managed with full responsibility for permitting, inspections, and code compliance. Every structural modification is planned and executed as part of a coordinated construction process, ensuring safety, structural integrity, and long-term performance.

At MDI Custom Homes, we specialize in permitted structural modifications that allow homeowners to safely open spaces, reconfigure layouts, and modernize their homes without compromising structural integrity.

What Qualifies as a Structural Modification

Structural work is required when changes affect how a home carries weight or transfers loads. These modifications must be planned and executed correctly from the start.

Common structural projects include:

  • Load-bearing wall removal

  • Installation of steel or LVL beams

  • Structural framing changes

  • Opening kitchens and main living areas

  • Ceiling height changes or vaulting

  • Structural corrections during renovations

When Structural Changes Are Required

You may need structural modifications if:

  • You want to remove or relocate a wall

  • A renovation requires engineering approval

  • A beam, header, or post must be added

  • The home was built under older codes

  • Layout changes impact load paths

We identify early whether a wall is structural or non-structural—before demolition begins.

Our Structural Modification Process

  1. Site Evaluation – Review existing framing and layout

  2. Engineering Coordination – Structural plans when required

  3. Permitting – Drawings, submissions, and approvals

  4. Execution – Precise structural work and reinforcement

  5. Inspection & Sign-Off – Code-compliant completion

Structural work is treated as a managed process—not guesswork.

Why Choose MDI Custom Homes

Structural modifications are not a side service—they are part of how we build.

Structural Work as Part of Larger Renovations

Structural modifications are often combined with:

Sometimes walls move. Sometimes they don’t. Either way, structure is evaluated first.

If your project involves structural changes—or you’ve been told a wall might be load-bearing—let’s review it properly before work begins.
