Before you start

What to know.

Load-bearing walls
A load-bearing wall can be removed, but it is replaced by a beam sized by an engineer, with posts and footings carrying the load to the foundation. This needs a building permit.
What is inside the wall
Walls often hide plumbing stacks, heating ducts and wiring. Finding a new route for them is frequently the real work.
The floor underneath
When a wall comes out there is a gap in the flooring. Matching or replacing the floor across the new room should be part of the plan.
