The Geer Kitchen: Taking Walls Out Without Regrets
The Geers started looking around in the springtime, wanting their kitchen opened up. The project took out the existing walls and a closet, and the design added something they had not planned on: a dry bar that won back the storage the old cabinets had held. Floors tie the whole space together now, and the room feels, in their word, huge.
Josh came out and brought them a couple of designs to choose from, then Dean, Aaron, and the crew walked them step by step, picking cabinets, granite, and accessories right at the True Builders location. Their verdict: "I would highly recommend True Builders for any sort of remodeling or restoration projects."
What it takes to remove a wall safely
Some walls just divide space; others hold the house up. Before any wall comes out, a contractor confirms which kind it is, and if it is load-bearing, the fix is engineered: a properly sized beam, posts that carry the load to the foundation, and a permit so the change is inspected. There are also the hidden occupants to relocate: wiring, plumbing vents, and AC ducts love interior walls. None of this makes open floor plans a bad idea. It makes cheap open floor plans a bad idea.
The storage math of an open kitchen
Every wall you remove takes its cabinets with it, and the number one regret in open-concept remodels is realizing it six months later. Good designers win the storage back the way this project did.
- Islands with deep drawers store more than the base cabinets they replace
- A dry bar, coffee station, or butler wall turns a leftover wall segment into working storage
- Cabinets to the ceiling trade a dust shelf for a third more capacity
- Drawer organizers and pull-outs make the same box hold more, reachably
