[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We would like to renovate our finished basement but not sure exactly where to start. We would need to remove one load bearing wall to open up two rooms to each other to create a large open space. [/b]The rest of the renovation would include: replacing carpet with hardwood, adding a wet bar, changing the furniture, renovating the bathrooms, turning a bedroom into a home gym and renovating a small kitchen/ laundry room. How to I kick start this process? Do I contact an architect first because of the wall removal component? then he gets a contractor, then a separate interior designer? Do I go with a design and build firm? Do I get a contractor who gets an architect? What would be the most cost effective way to do this? I am a novice at home renovations so any advice would be helpful.[/quote] You might have to have columns then. [/quote]
