We always suggest leaving wall removals or load-bearing modifications to the professionals because if you don’t know what you’re doing, your home could literally crumble around you! You need to make sure that the walls you’re looking to take down aren’t load-bearing, and if they are, that you temporarily shore up those walls until you get a more permanent solution in place. Without putting the proper safeguards in place, you may be putting your home in danger of significant structural damage, including sagging ceilings, cracked walls, or even collapse.
