20ft LVL beam over ceiling joist?

Hey everyone.

We’re renovating our new home and we planning on removing two walls, non load bearing. We have had multiple people come in and confirm that the walls are not load bearing.

The joists run 35ft all the way along the house. We went into the attic and confirmed that nothing is load bearing so technically we don’t even need to put a LVL beam. But one person told us it wouldn’t hurt to add one in the center of the home.

so we’re planning on sliding the beam into the attic somehow and attaching some sort of hangers from the beam to the joist.

I know it’s more common to either add the beam below the joist or cut the joist and put the beam between the joist IF the walls are load bearing. But since ours isn’t, should we even put the beam up? If we should should we go with our approach or something else?

Thank you!

So your doing major renovation and have had all this good advice, was any of it possibly an architect or structural engineer so that you know what your doing is correct?
