We would like to remove the wall that has a support header or cut out much of a frame of that wall.
We have a ranch that was built in 1954. We got advice from a couple of carpenter friends of ours on how to reinforce it from above before removing the header.
My question is - is there still a need to contact a structural engineer or does a carpenter have the expertise needed to make the call?
