We've seen a lot of crap renovation here. Does anyone have a recommendation? Should I use an architect or a structural engineer? The reason I ask is we are going to have to move a massive support beam as part of the renovation.

The plan is to add about 300 sq. ft. Gut existing bathrooms, kitchen and den. Enlarge the kitchen, add a larger utility room, 3rd bath and a butlers pantry. Also demolish and expand the sun room.

We'd like to work with the builder and do some of the work ourselves like most of the demo, painting, installing fixtures, sinks, toilets, lighting etc.

Would love to hear yall's thoughts.

We did a similar project and used the following structural engineer for taking a load bearing wall out.

Mike Bledsoe, P.E.
Persyn Engineering
4734 College Park
San Antonio, TX 78249
210-680-4126 phone ext. 108

We found the subcontractors for things we couldn't do.

Good luck.

I run a framing company and have engineering contacts. As well as a coworker that does quite a few remodels.

Feel free to reach out, and I can send you in the right direction.
