Load-Bearing Wall Challenges During the Home Renovation Process

As much as you love your home, there may come a time when you find that the current layout no longer functions for your family. It’s frustrating when you don’t want to leave your home, but you don’t know how to create the space you desire.

Some of your challenges might include:

  • Small dark, rooms
  • A cramped living area
  • A less than functional kitchen
  • A master bedroom and bathroom needing updated
  • Two rooms that need to be joined to create an open floor plan

After you have reached out to a contractor to expand or remodel your home, they may come up against a load-bearing wall that will require removal or moving. You’ve probably been told that such a project is impossible. Most contractors won’t take on this type of endeavor. A load-bearing wall supports the weight of the floor or roof structure above it. So how can you tell if a wall is load-bearing?

It is probably load-bearing if:

  • It’s perpendicular to your basement or attic joists
  • It’s directly connected to the foundation of your house
  • It has posts, supports, or other walls directly above it
