Lally Column (Garage Support Post) Removal | Garage Renovation Part 1

Video Description

Watch Part 2 here: Garage Door Renovation & Installation - https://youtu.be/U94t7Ovoh4E In Part 1 of my garage renovation series, we’ll be removing the concrete-filled steel Lally column that’s in the middle of my garage! I’m working with a structural engineering company to remove the load-bearing garage support post, by reinforcing the beam it supports to redistribute the weight. In addition to the support post removal, I’m also having the garage door headers renovated, changing the garage entry from two narrow garage doors to a massive single 17 ½ foot wide entry, giving me the ultimate in accessibility and complimenting the Lally column removal. UPDATE: Many have asked the cost, so here it is: The structural work, removing the Lally column and opening up the 2 bays into one was about $9,500. The door cost + installation (video 2) was around $5,500. I’m working with two contractors here in the Northeast USA: LallyGone (https://lallygone.com/) for the structural engineering and column removal, and Des-Carr Doors (http://www.descarrdoors.com/) a commercial and residential custom door installer.
