Cupertino is in a seismic zone. Building code requires seismic design. Removing a bearing wall in California changes how your house resists earthquakes, not just how it carries gravity loads. Our Cupertino wall removal designs account for the seismic implications — which is exactly what a generic beam chart from a lumberyard can't do.
