I am thinking about two projects that require wall removals: (a)opening up the garden level by removing the walls to the left of the entry leading to the living room (at the from of the house) and (b) combining the two closets on the master bedroom floor and the dressing area into a huge walk in closet. Questions:

1. Do I need an architect/engineer or permit?

2. Given the structural issues, I would like to hire someone other than a handyman. Does anyone know a reputable contractor who would handle such a small job?

3. Any other helpful thoughts, considerations are welcome.

Thanks
