Opening Walls in Older Wheaton Homes
Older houses near downtown were built differently than new ones. Before we change a layout, we:
- Check which walls carry weight and plan beams where needed
- Look for old wiring and replace it while walls are open
- Add fire blocking inside open wall cavities where it is missing
- Find space for a second bath or powder room in a small footprint

- Most remodels need a building permit from the City of Wheaton.
- We prepare the plans, file the permit and book the city inspections.
- We plan driveway or street space for the dumpster and deliveries.
