        "text": "Structural remodeling involves altering or adding to a home's load-bearing components, which are essential for its stability and integrity, such as foundations, beams, or load-bearing walls. This requires engineering assessments, specific permits, and specialized construction techniques. Non-structural remodeling, conversely, focuses on cosmetic or functional changes that do not affect the building's core support system. Examples include painting, cabinet installation, flooring replacement, or reconfiguring non-load-bearing partitions. Non-structural work typically has fewer regulatory hurdles.",
