A structural engineer can tell you if its load bearing. And probably any good GC. An architec can draw up the plans. The KD can look at your space and create the best layout. We are at the end of our 1960 ranch kitchen remodel.

Thank you!

It depends on how much you plan on doing…in a complete re-do a kitchen designer is a big help…if not ….a consult ….is a good way to start…someone on sight can give you a lot of options within your budget…

Thank you!

A ranch with a center hall the same direction as the roof ridge generally has one of those hall walls be load bearing. But, ceiling joist directions can change in order to create larger spans in some areas. A load bearing wall can always be removed. It’s just a matter of budget. Start with a kitchen designer and they should have contractors to refer.

Thank you’
