        "text": "Removing a wall depends entirely on whether it is load-bearing and what utilities run through it. A load-bearing wall supports structural weight from the roof or upper floors and requires engineered beam support to remove safely. Non-load-bearing partition walls are simpler to take down, though both types often contain electrical wiring, plumbing, or venting that must be relocated. Bay City Remodeling & Bathrooms handles drywall, structural adjustments, and home remodeling, helping assess structural walls during planning before any demolition begins.",
