Hey guys, we’re in the midst of a length house search, found a house we like that needs a complete remodel and a contractor our realtor brought out didn’t think we could open up the kitchen based on his investigation in the attic. So we’re contemplating having a structural engineer come out and take a look for us to see what option might be available.
Anyone have someone they’d recommend?

clt says go ahead and start taking down the wall. Stack up pillows to support the ceiling while you build a new support structure.

Nobody to recommend but it’d probably cost you a couple grand for the services and structurally supporting it.
