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
Site Evaluation – Review existing framing and layout
Engineering Coordination – Structural plans when required
Permitting – Drawings, submissions, and approvals
Execution – Precise structural work and reinforcement
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.
Thinking About Moving a Wall?
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.
