Support Beam Installation
Support beam installation addresses sagging floors, settling walls, or the removal of load-bearing walls by replacing lost or insufficient structural support. Ridgeline Western Construction evaluates the framing, calculates the necessary beam size and placement, and installs engineered beams or posts from footing to fastening. This process protects the structure, restores strength, and makes sure the home stays stable for remodels, repairs, or retrofits.
Why Choose Ridgeline Western Construction for Support Beam Installation
When a home needs new support beams, the signs often show up as bouncy floors, cracks opening near doors or windows, or plans to open up a space that originally had a load-bearing wall. Ridgeline Western Construction starts by investigating the structure itself — looking for compromised joists, undersized beams, or framing not up to current code. The right beam and hardware matter: engineered lumber like LVL or glulam, steel columns, Simpson Strong-Tie connections, and properly sized footings make the difference between a solution that lasts and one that simply masks a problem.
The project typically begins with a structural assessment and, where needed, plans approved by a licensed engineer. Temporary supports are set, then demolition and removal of old elements follow. We install posts and beams matched to the design, secure them with specified hardware, and build out any necessary support from footing to load transfer. Throughout, we manage permits, schedule inspections, and monitor compliance with building code changes, especially when seismic or wind resistance is involved.
Inspection closes the job — city sign-off documents every component has been installed to code and approved plans. Once complete, you have visible and structural correction for the original problem. You also get a permit record that documents the correction and why it was required, helping with resale or insurance long after the job is done.
Engineered Materials and Correct Hardware
We install engineered beams—LVL, glulam, or PSL as required—and use Simpson Strong-Tie or equivalent connectors rated for each span and load. Every beam and post connection is sized to both meet the building code and to work with your home's existing structure, reducing the risk of future settling or cracks.
Full Permit and Inspection Management
Ridgeline Western Construction manages every step that goes on record: plan check, permits, and city inspections. Each phase is scheduled and documented. The result is a completed job with legal sign-off that can be shown for appraisals, insurance, or sale. This reduces the risk of future issues with city records or building compliance.
Owner-Driven Structural Assessment
Ridgeline Western Construction is owner-operated by a framing specialist who handles the assessment in person, not just from photos. The evaluation includes measuring sag, checking existing joists and beams, and identifying any hidden framing issues. The result is a scope of work based on actual structure, not just visible finish problems, so repairs solve the underlying cause.

OTHER SERVICES
Ridgeline Western Construction offers a full range of construction services throughout San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Orange counties.
Home Additions
A home addition is a major structural project, not just an expansion of space. Ridgeline Western Construction manages every phase, from structural planning and engineering to permits, framing, finishing, and inspections. One contract covers all trades—the framing and carpentry are always self-performed, and every specialist is scheduled and supervised to keep the work moving as a single project. You get a finished addition designed to meet code, with a permit record that documents every inspection step.
Structural Repairs
Structural repairs address failures in a building’s framing, supports, or load paths that compromise stability or safety. Ridgeline Western Construction assesses visible symptoms — such as cracks in walls, sloping floors, or sticking doors — and traces them to structural causes like deteriorated joists, broken beams, or damaged shear walls. We deliver repairs from assessment through city inspection, rebuilding compromised structure and managing every required trade. You get one contractor who diagnoses, repairs, and sees the project to completion with a permit record that clears.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Load-bearing wall removal means opening up spaces by taking out structural walls safely and correctly. Ridgeline Western Construction evaluates framing, load paths, and shear points before any wall comes down. We coordinate engineering, secure the permit, handle inspections, and manage all steps from shoring to finish. You get open space where the structure stays sound, and your permit record matches what was built.

What Our Clients Say about us..
"I connected with Steven Moreno at Ridgeline Western Construction about a year ago when I was scoping out a project. Steven’s knowledge blew me away from framing, additions, new construction, materials, etc. He broke everything down like it was nothing & in a way that I actually could understand. The company is based out of Fontana and covers a huge range from San Bernardino and Riverside all the way through Los Angeles and Orange County. So if you’re in that area and need a general contractor that you can rely on then I would highly recommend Ridgeline Western Construction to get the job done right."
