Can any doorway be widened?

Not every doorway can be widened in the same way. The existing wall, surrounding structure, utilities, and desired opening size all affect the project. A professional can evaluate the doorway and explain what modifications are appropriate.

Can you widen a doorway without installing a new door?

In some situations, homeowners may want a wider open passage rather than a wider traditional door. The best approach depends on the existing doorway and wall configuration. A professional can discuss available options based on the desired result.
