Our Removal Services
We handle every step of garage door removal with precision and care. From safe demolition to managing legal requirements, our process ensures a smooth transition for your project.
Professional Demolition
We begin with a controlled demolition to remove the existing garage door and its frame. Our team uses specialized tools to carefully dismantle without damaging surrounding structures. This includes detaching tracks, springs, and hardware.

After removal, we sort materials for recycling or disposal according to local regulations. We take responsibility for hauling away debris, leaving your site clean and ready for new construction.
Safety Considerations
Safety is a top priority throughout the removal process. Garage doors contain heavy components and tensioned springs that require expert handling. Our technicians wear protective gear and use proper lifting techniques to prevent injury.

We also inspect the area for hazards, secure the workspace, and communicate clearly with you to avoid risks. Our process minimizes disruption to your property and ensures the demolition does not compromise structural integrity.
Permitting and Local Compliance
We verify all necessary permits before beginning work to comply with Long Beach, CA regulations. This includes submitting documentation and coordinating with local building departments as required.

Our knowledge of zoning laws and inspection standards guarantees the removal meets legal codes. We handle paperwork and inspections, reducing your administrative burden and avoiding costly delays.
New Wall Framing and Structural Solutions
We focus on creating wall framing that matches your specific needs while ensuring durability and proper integration with your existing space. Our process includes careful material selection, precise measurements, and attention to structural integrity.
Custom Wall Construction
We build wall framing tailored to your project requirements. Whether you need standard 2x4 or 2x6 framing, we design it to support load and span appropriately.
Materials are selected to meet local building codes and environmental conditions common in Long Beach, CA. We incorporate metal or engineered lumber when extra strength or resistance to pests and moisture is needed.
Every wall is framed with exact dimensions for doors, windows, and other openings, ensuring ease of installation and finishing. Our team ensures studs are plumb and level, preparing the surface for drywall and other finishes.
Integration With Existing Structures
Connecting new walls to your current structure requires precision to maintain stability. We assess your existing framing and foundation before beginning the work.
We use appropriate fasteners, such as bolts and brackets, to secure new framing to existing studs, joists, or concrete. This approach prevents gaps and movement over time.
Our team also ensures proper transfer of loads between the new wall and existing structures, reinforcing connections where needed. This prevents structural weaknesses or shifting in the future.
Insulation and Finishing Options
We offer several insulation methods, including fiberglass batts, spray foam, and rigid foam boards. Each option is selected for its R-value and compatibility with the wall system.
Insulation installation is designed to improve energy efficiency and soundproofing. We also provide vapor barriers to prevent moisture buildup that could damage framing and finishes.
Finishing options range from drywall installation to paneling, with precise taping and sanding to prepare walls for paint or wallpaper. We ensure a clean, smooth surface ready for your desired final look.
