Interior Wall Removal Services in Orlando, Florida
Interior wall removal is one of the most impactful home remodeling decisions you can make in Orlando. A load-bearing wall removal requires proper steel beam installation, temporary support walls, and engineer-stamped plans to meet Orange County Building Code requirements. Non-load-bearing walls are faster and less costly, typically removed in a single day. Renovating Central Florida LLC has completed over 100 wall removal projects across Orlando neighborhoods including Downtown, Thornton Park, College Park, and newer developments like Avalon Park and Waterford Lakes.
Our interior wall removal process begins with a structural assessment to determine if the wall carries roof or floor loads. We obtain Orange County building permits (5-7 business days), install temporary support walls to redistribute weight, and coordinate with a licensed structural engineer to specify the correct beam size and installation depth. Once permits arrive, our crew removes drywall, insulation, and studs; installs the steel beam or LVL beam on jack posts; and verifies proper support before removing temporary walls. Final phase includes drywall repair, finish work, and complete debris cleanup. Most projects take 1-3 days depending on wall length and structural complexity.

Our Interior Wall Removal Process
Structural Evaluation and Permit Application
We assess whether your wall is load-bearing or non-load-bearing and obtain a structural engineer's report within 2-3 days. Orange County permits require engineer-stamped plans and take 5-7 business days to approve. All plans comply with Florida Building Code and local regulations in Orlando, Winter Park, Longwood, and surrounding areas.
Temporary Support Wall Installation
Once permits are approved, we install temporary load-bearing walls 3-4 feet from the original wall to safely carry roof and floor loads during removal. This step typically takes one full day and ensures zero structural movement during demolition.
Wall Demolition and Beam Installation
Our crews remove drywall, studs, insulation, and electrical components, then install engineered steel beams or LVL beams on adjustable jack posts. We verify proper support with laser levels and load calculations. This phase takes 1-2 days depending on wall length and complexity.
Finishing and Cleanup
We remove temporary walls, patch and finish all drywall, repair flooring transitions, and relocate electrical outlets or fixtures as needed. Complete debris removal and jobsite cleanup complete the project within 3 days total for most Orlando-area homes.
