Why Widen a Door Frame?
Widening a door frame isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade — it can significantly improve the functionality, accessibility, and resale value of your property. Common reasons include:
Installing larger doors (e.g., 36″, double doors, or barn doors)
Accessibility upgrades for wheelchair or walker entry
Improved traffic flow in high-use areas
Modernization and aesthetics
Accommodating appliances like fridges or laundry machines

FAQs – Door Widening Winnipeg
Do I need a permit to widen a door frame in Winnipeg?
You may need a permit if the wall is load-bearing or if it involves structural modifications. Assured Builders will guide you through the process.
How long does it take to widen a door?
Most jobs take 1–2 days. Load-bearing walls may take longer due to additional framing and inspections.
Can any door be widened?
Yes, but it depends on the structure of your home. We’ll assess feasibility during the site visit.
Will this affect the resale value of my home?
Yes — it usually increases value by improving access, modernizing layouts, and appealing to a wider range of buyers.
Can you match my existing trim and paint?
Absolutely. Our finishing team ensures your new wider doorway blends seamlessly with the rest of your space.
