Removing Walls
Removing walls is often a viable option to creating a larger space or an open floor plan, but before you start swinging that sledgehammer, get a contractor to verify the wall isn’t load bearing. “Damaging a load-bearing wall could have serious consequences like a ceiling caving in,” says Jesse Fowler.
That’s bad enough, but it can also be dangerous for the homeowner and result in serious injuries. On the other hand, removing wallpaper only takes a few steps and is something you can definitely DIY.
