• <div><p>Yes, unresolved damage can decrease property integrity and market value.</p></div>

Q: Why are studs 16 inches apart?

• <div><p>In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called &quot;on-center&quot; and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure.

You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.</p></div>
