Larcon Structural

This was a job to replace a poorly installed LVL beam and to redo the framing for a door into the garage (work I had done by a general contractor and without a permit) and which was improperly done. It can be challenging to find a competent contractor for a small job - and even more so when the task is to re-do a shoddy job.

This is an excellent firm to deal with and I will hire them again if I need structural work done. Holden provided a detailed written estimate - specifying the work that would be performed. The scheduling was timely. He and his team arrived on time and they competently performed the tasks as agreed. The end result was great quality work, that passed the inspections, and has thankfully has eliminated creaking sounds in the house (priceless!). The cost of the job was competitive.

If I need to have structural work done in the future, I will let Holden handle the whole process of applying for the permit, getting the engineers, he works with, to do up the drawings etc. He had suggestions that we might have pursued if the permit hadn't already been approved. I think it would have saved me both time and money to let him deal with the whole thing. One thing that is 100% true, had my general contractor hired Holden and his team to do the work initially, we would not have had creaking in the house, and I would not have had to hire a structural engineer to review the work and then hire someone to re-do the work.

So the message is hire Holden and get a permit!

These guys deliver no headaches in and out. They are professional and do what they say they are going to do. The guys are knowledgeable and care about the customers.

Holden and the team were fantastic throughout the whole process. They met every deadline and followed-up on every communication and request as promised. Throughout the project natural hiccups arose and they took the time to consult us to work through those challenges in a very thoughtful way. We are super happy with the new open concept and feel safe knowing it has been done right, by a team with the utmost integrity.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We bought a 37+ years old house that was full of walls. We planned to remove them and have an open concept layout, but because the walls were load bearing we couldn't let anyone to do it.

We found that Holden and his team were the most reliable people for this job and that was the best choice. All the approvals from the condo board and the city went smooth, because Larcon team were very professional.

I highly recommend them!

Outstanding work by Larcon! They were very professional and I would highly recommended them. We were very impressed.

Extensive reno to create open plan living space involving removal of 3 load bearing walls, reinforcing a footing in the basement and installation of 5 beams. Work included Engineer drawings, permits and materials. Very professional team who worked quickly, safely, and with excellent attention to detail. The house was left clean and organized at the end of every day. The process from quote to finish was impeccable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and would definitely use them again.

We had been contemplating this renovation for a few years and kept putting it off because we just didnt feel confident in anyone we spoke to. When Holden came to the house the very first time we knew we had found the company for the job. His knowledge and experience showed. He was informative, polite, confident and reassuring. He explained the entire process and worked with us every step of the way - even when I was beginning to have second thoughts about what we had gotten ourselves into, he remained calm and provided solutions and ideas for issues unrelated to his part of the job. Holden and his team are exceptional at what they do and I cannot thank them enough for their work and support during this process. If you are looking to take down structural walls, this is the company you want to hire. Professionals all around! Thanks so much to you Holden and your team. We are so happy with our open concept main floor.

Great service from Holden and the Larcon crew. Took the time to go through all the steps to educate us on their process. Would gladly use again!

We hired Larcon structural to create an open concept space in our new home by removing 3 load bearing walls and replacing them with flush beams. They were the only company we talked to that was able to give us flush beams and produced a comprehensive line quote in writing, including all the additional changes we should anticipate. From the beginning, Holden was very responsive and explained what needed to be done and all the challenges very clearly. He was flexible, the engineer drawings were completed quickly and the work was done exceptionally well. The house was also left perfectly clean when they were done. Overall, I would hire Larcon structural again without hesitation and highly recommend them.

Holden was a stellar communicator, delivered exactly what was promised, was up front about costs, and did incredibly clean work. We reached out to a number of wall removal specialists before Larcon and had felt uneasy about choosing. The moment we sat down with Holden we knew that this part of the project would go off without a hitch. And we were right.

He took care of small details that I believe many would not, including having the beams + welds nicely painted, bagging up all the garbage, using adhesive on the joist hangers to prevent squeaks, and so on.

The project was completed in the time he said it would, even after some "surprises" were encountered.
