Planning Your Space

Before you start, consult Handybeeman to assess your home’s structure. Consider:

Drywall Type: Use green board for wet areas, standard for dry rooms.

Opening Up with Wall Removal or Archways

Want more space? Removing a non-load-bearing wall works wonders—ask a pro to confirm it’s safe. If removal isn’t an option or too costly, add an archway for an open vibe without structural risks.

How to Install an Archway

Here’s a basic guide—start by consulting Handybeeman to avoid future fixes:

Remove casing, jambs, and molding from the doorway.
Add nailing blocks and a drywall extender for the arch.
Trace the arch shape with a stencil, then cut the drywall.
Tape and mud the seams.
Fit the prefab arch and columns.
Prime and paint to match your room.
