About Dreamline
Structural work is the part of a project you can’t see once it’s finished — and the part that matters most. It’s worth doing to spec, the first time.

Removing a load-bearing wall, adding a beam, raising a roofline or reworking a floor system isn’t a job to hand to whoever’s cheapest. Get it wrong and you get sagging floors, cracked drywall, doors that won’t close — or worse. We treat structural work as its own discipline: engineered drawings, proper temporary shoring, the right beam and connections, and inspections signed off before anything gets closed up.

Many of the homes we work on around the Denver metro are older, and opening up a wall is exactly where the surprises live — hidden loads, undersized framing, past “fixes” that were never engineered. We don’t guess. We bring in a structural engineer, show you what’s actually carrying the house, and give you the cost and options before any work moves forward. You approve every change.

Engineered to Code

Every load carried correctly — engineered, not eyeballed.

Sequenced Correctly
Shoring, framing and inspections sequenced so nothing gets closed up too soon.
Older-Home Ready
We expect what older Denver homes hide inside their walls — and price it honestly.
One Accountable Builder
The owner runs the job and is your single point of contact.
Engineer to inspection, one team

Engineering, shoring, framing, steel and finish repair — coordinated under one roof.

What We Build

From one wall to
the whole structure.

Most people have heard a remodeling horror story. Our job is to make sure you don’t have one.

01

Load-Bearing Walls

Opening up closed floor plans, safely.

02

Beams & Steel

Carrying the load where a wall used to be.

03

Roof & Framing

Reworking the structure above you.

04

Floors & Openings

New openings without new problems.

05

Foundation Support

Stabilizing what everything sits on.

06

Engineering & Permits

The paperwork that makes it legal and safe.

How Structural Work Goes

Structural work, run in clear steps.

However involved the structure, the promise is the same: no surprises you didn’t approve.

STEP 01

Walkthrough & honest conversation

We walk the space with you and talk through what you want to change and what the structure will allow — no inflated dream-selling, no pressure.
STEP 02

Design direction & selections

We bring in a structural engineer to assess the loads and produce stamped drawings, so the plan is sound before a single wall is touched.
STEP 03

Detailed, itemized proposal

You get one clear scope and price — what’s included, what’s not, and where the real cost drivers are — before you sign anything.
STEP 04

Permits, schedule & expectations set

We pull the required permits, plan the temporary shoring, and sequence framing and inspections in the right order — and lay out how we’ll communicate throughout.
STEP 05

Build, with the owner on it

Work runs through our vetted framing and steel specialists, coordinated hands-on by the owner. One point of contact, start to finish.
STEP 06

When the walls come open

Opening a wall almost always reveals something — hidden loads, undersized framing, old damage. We stop, show you exactly what we found, explain the options and cost, and wait for your go-ahead. You’re never surprised by a bill.
STEP 07

Final walkthrough

Once it passes framing inspection and the finishes are back, we walk the space with you and don’t call it done until you do.

— HOW WE DO BUSINESS
Before You Call

Structural questions,
answered straight.

Q.01
Do I really need an engineer?
For load-bearing work, yes — and we insist on it. A stamped engineer’s drawing sizes the beam and connections correctly and is what the city inspects against. It protects your home and you. We coordinate it as part of the job.
Q.02
How long does structural work take?
The structural portion itself is often a few days to a couple of weeks, but engineering and permits add time on the front end, and finish repair adds it on the back. We’ll give you a realistic schedule with all of it built in.
Q.03
Do you handle design and selections?

Yes. Structural work is usually part of a larger remodel, and we handle the whole thing — engineering, framing, then the finish work to put the space back better than before.

Q.04
What if you find problems once the walls are open?

Almost always something turns up when a wall comes open — hidden loads, old framing, past damage. We stop, show you exactly what’s there, lay out the options and cost, and wait for your go-ahead. You approve every change.

Q.05
Who manages all the trades?

The owner — not a rotating project manager. The same person who quotes your job coordinates every trade and is your point of contact from the first walkthrough to the last.

Q.06
Is it safe to live in the home during the work?

Often yes, with proper temporary shoring keeping the loads carried the whole time. For bigger jobs we’ll tell you honestly if you’re better off out of certain areas, and we seal off the work zone either way.

Q.07
Do you pull permits and handle inspections?

Yes — structural work is permit- and inspection-heavy, and it has to be. We pull every required permit, schedule the framing inspections, and don’t close up a wall until it’s signed off. We never recommend skipping it.

Q.08
What warranty do I get?

A 1-year workmanship warranty on labor and installation. Structural materials — steel, engineered lumber, connectors — carry manufacturer warranties that pass to you at completion.
