Benefits of Removing a Load Bearing Wall
Open Concept and Increased Value
The primary benefit of removing a load-bearing wall is the transformation of a regular home into an open-concept one. Removing a wall to extend the space of a room can make a space much more appealing. This concept is used to upgrade the value of your home and create a more welcoming design for homeowners and guests.
The change can give your home a completely new look and create more space for you and your family. Homeowners all across the GTA have the opportunity to quickly and effectively execute their interior design plans through Acadia DC
Bigger Space
An interesting perk of removing a load-bearing wall is the extra space that comes with it. Have you had the idea of adding more furniture to your home, but could never find the space to put it where you wanted? Open concept gives you an opportunity to move and add furniture. Removing structural walls opens up an enormous amount of space you never even knew you had. The dream living room design you thought you could never achieve can become real! An aesthetic combination of kitchen and dining room can make for an easy transition from room to room.
With load-bearing wall removals, the privacy that the wall used to provide will be gone, but homeowners will then have the opportunity to do anything they want with their new open space. For instance, you can add a beautiful kitchen island to a room that you thought would never fit one! There are endless possibilities once an interior wall removal opens the space up. It gives homeowners the chance to be creative with their own space. Wherever you decide to remove your load-bearing wall, Acadia DC is right by your side in making sure your renovation plans come together.
Easy Access to Rooms/Communication
The fewer walls you need to deal with when navigating your household, the better. The amount of privacy your rooms provide decreases, but the communication across your home increases, as there’s less foot traffic. Say goodbye to having to move from room to room just to talk to someone. This accessibility makes life so much easier with one less wall in your house.
Being able to navigate to your kitchen and dining room while holding heavy platters or dishes is both convenient and safe! Whether it’s just a wall or a door being taken down, as a wall removal company we believe homeowners should be able to navigate and communicate in their own homes without any trouble.
Modernizing Your Home
It’s a given that modern homes stand out. Removing a supporting wall can exceptionally increase the value of your home while adding a modern touch. An open concept room can easily attract the eye of any guest who steps foot into your space. Acadia DC is proud to help homeowners achieve their dream interior.
Give your home the makeover it deserves and let Acadia DC handle the rest. We handle it all – from architecture, to engineering, to construction, to finally completing your dream renovations.
Natural Light
Removing a load-bearing wall near your windows can bring natural light to more of your home. Conserve energy by leaving the lights off, letting the sun shine through your windows and across your home instead.
Wall removal services will increase the visibility not only through larger lines of sight, but through lighting as well.
