A Brownstoner reader wants to open up his new Bed Stuy brownstone by removing some of its internal walls.

Moving into a brownstone in Bed-Stuy. Old owners built lots of internal, non-structural walls that we would like to remove. Any way to estimate the cost of breaking down these walls and opening up the plan?

Have you removed walls in your home? How much did it cost? Help our reader out over in the original post.

  1. The knocking down of the walls is the easy part, assuming of course there are no structural, electrical, plumbing, etc. to address. The costs, however, can escalate when you have to start trying to patch and match floors.
