Are you interested in making the interior of your home feel more open? Sometimes, you can take down certain walls to help you create a more open floor plan. One thing you need to pay attention to is the potential of removing a load-bearing wall. These walls are important as they hold the weight of the house, giving the house structural integrity. It carries and distributes the weight from the roof to the foundation. Removing one of the walls and not taking the proper precautions could cause your home to crumble. Instead of completing these projects yourself, contact the team at Southern Tier Residential, serving the Hamburg, Orchard Park, Dunkirk, Jamestown, West Seneca, Buffalo, and Cheektowaga, NY areas.
