Widened Doorway Installation

What This Service Involves

Standard doorways rarely leave enough clearance for mobility equipment, and narrow hallways make the problem worse. We reframe openings to a comfortable 32 to 36 inches of clear passage, adjusting headers and studs to keep the wall sound. When a wall is load-bearing, we install the proper beam and support so the structure stays safe. We finish with matching trim, flooring transitions, and swing-clear hinges that reclaim even more space.

Benefits

Clear passage sized for wheelchairs and mobility aids; Structurally sound reframing with correct headers; Swing-clear hinges that recover extra inches of width; Seamless trim and flooring that match your home; Engineered support wherever load-bearing walls are involved

Our Process

1) We measure openings and confirm whether the wall carries load; 2) We plan header sizing, support, and finish details; 3) We reframe the opening and install the wider door and hardware; 4) We patch, trim, and blend the flooring for a clean result

What Affects the Cost

Whether the wall is load-bearing and needs a beam; Number of doorways being widened; New door, frame, and hardware selections; Electrical or plumbing hidden in the wall; Trim, drywall, and flooring patching

Best Time of Year
