Structural Inspections
When you are planning a load-bearing wall removal, replacing a beam, or a home inspector or contractor has flagged a structural concern, you need a focused structural look - not a full home inspection checklist covering plumbing, electrical, and finishes. The Beam Guy provides structural inspections tied to the kind of work we do every day: beams, openings, load paths, posts, and related framing.
We work with a structural engineer when engineered judgment or stamped documentation is required. That means practical, renovation-ready guidance: is the wall load-bearing, what support is likely needed, are there visible structural red flags worth addressing before you renovate, and what is the sensible next step for permits and install.
These visits are scoped to structural questions around your planned opening or concern. If you need a general buyer's home inspection, that is a different service from another provider. If you need clarity before a beam project - or a structural second look after something was flagged - we are the specialist team to call across Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, and the Golden Horseshoe.

If you need clarity before a beam project - or a structural second look after something was flagged - we provide focused assessments across Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, and the Golden Horseshoe.
What a structural inspection covers
A focused site visit and clear recommendations - scoped to structure, not a whole-house home inspection.
Site review
We look at the area in question: walls you want open, existing beams or posts, bearing conditions, and related framing we can reasonably access.
Structural clarity
You get plain-language findings on what is structural, what looks workable, and what needs engineering or further investigation.
Engineer support
When the situation calls for it, our structural engineer helps turn the visit into actionable, permit-ready direction.
Path forward
If work is needed, we outline the likely sequence: drawings, permits, temporary supports, beam install, and inspection readiness.
