Your home's structural integrity determines everything—from safety to property value to your ability to create the open floor plan you've envisioned. In Owensboro, where homes range from historic river district properties to newer subdivisions, structural modifications require engineering expertise and construction precision you can trust.
BradWay Construction and Restoration, LLC specializes in complex structural engineering projects that transform living spaces while maintaining safety standards. Whether you're dealing with foundation settlement, planning to remove a load-bearing wall, or converting a flat ceiling to dramatic vaulted height, the process demands licensed professionals who understand load transfer and proper support installation. According to structural engineering studies, improper beam sizing can reduce load capacity by up to 60%. Your project receives accurate calculations and code-compliant installation.
From home leveling that corrects years of settling to architectural improvements that reimagine your interior, you'll work with a team that combines engineering knowledge with hands-on craftsmanship.
Addressing Owensboro's Unique Structural Challenges
Owensboro's position along the Ohio River creates specific challenges for homeowners—periodic flooding impact on foundations, soil moisture variations that cause settling, and humidity conditions that affect wood framing over time. You need contractors who assess these regional factors before recommending solutions.
Home leveling addresses foundation settling that creates sloped floors, sticking doors, and ceiling cracks. The process involves hydraulic jacks, strategic shimming, and sometimes pier installation to stabilize the structure permanently. Load-bearing wall removal opens up cramped floor plans but requires precise beam installation—typically steel or engineered lumber—to redistribute weight safely across the span.
Flat ceiling to vaulted ceiling conversions add volume and light to previously closed-in rooms, but the work involves roof structure analysis, rafter reinforcement, and often HVAC modifications. Industry data shows vaulted ceilings can increase perceived room size by 30-50%. Every project begins with structural assessment and ends with inspections that verify code compliance.
