>> Hi,
Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable contractor(s) for the following:
- Remove a 18 foot load bearing wall
- 1400 sqft of tiling
- outside deck work
- Cabinet removal and wood working
I would like to find someone who is not adding the "kingwood' premium just because of where we live.
Thank you for your help!!
@SPJay: are you serious about removing an 18 foot loadbearing wall?
@ProblemAgain:
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he has water or smoke damage or termites or something???
@topcat: with the combination of removing a loadbearing wall and removing cabinets, it is more likely someone is wanting to open the kitchen up into either a dining area or a family room to have an open plan. the parameters of that can get both tricky and expensive. it depends on what is above the kitchen. the fact that it is loadbearing generally means there is a second story since most homes are truss-construction and those can span the building. depending on where they are, to do that work might legally require a building permit and either an architect's stamped plans or an engineers stamp that specifies the sizing of the beam or I-beam that will replace the wall.
