Our Richmond Fixer Upper: How to Open Up A (Load Bearing) Wall

We demo-ed one wall ourselves, but when it came time to open up the main load bearing wall of the house, we called in the professionals. The new space is SO MUCH MORE OPEN AND BRIGHT!
We're renovating a 1500 sq ft historic Cape Cod house in Richmond, Virginia for our family of 5. Find a new video here each week with the progress of our fixer upper!

It's funny how excited I get watching the progress of you house remodel. The area does look so much bigger with the larger opening! Thanks for taking us along on the journey :)

Too much talking not enough showing what was done. The music was annoying.

Hello Miranda. Everything is looking great, are you going to paint the walls your favorite white color?

[@sonicsweets]

Shouldn’t this be called “how to watch someone you hired open a wall”?

[@pizzalove7818]

I want to do this in my house too! I have no idea where to start or who to call, though...do you mind telling me which company you decided to go with? Or if you don't feel comfortable saying which one specifically, were they general contractors or professional engineers? or architect firm? thanks!

What is the name of the company that you used to remove the load bearing wall? I am in the process of getting quotes.
