Door and Wall Widening
For individuals with mobility challenges, navigating through narrow doorways and tight spaces can be a significant barrier to independence and comfort. Door and wall widening is a simple yet effective solution to improve accessibility in your home or business. At Suite Additions, we specialize in widening doors and walls to create a safer, more accessible environment for those with physical limitations.
Why Widen Doorways and Walls?
Widening doorways and walls helps to accommodate mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters, allowing for easier movement throughout your space. Whether it’s for a bathroom, bedroom, hallway, or entryway, expanding doorways can make a significant difference in daily life.
Improved Accessibility
Narrow doors and hallways can make it difficult to navigate with mobility aids, limiting your freedom and independence. Widening these openings ensures that you can move around your home or business with ease and safety.
Aesthetic Appeal
Not only does widening doors improve accessibility, but it can also enhance the overall flow and design of your home. Whether you prefer a modern, sleek look or something more traditional, we offer a range of designs that seamlessly blend with your existing décor.
Increased Home Value
Accessibility modifications, like wider doors, are not only beneficial for your current living situation but can also add value to your home. With an aging population and a growing focus on universal design, these upgrades can make your property more appealing to potential buyers.
The Widening Process
At Suite Additions, we take a systematic and careful approach to door and wall widening, ensuring minimal disruption to your home. Here’s how our process works:

We create a custom plan that takes into account the layout of your home, the materials needed, and any structural considerations. We ensure that the widening aligns with your style and provides the level of accessibility you require. - Permits and Approvals
If necessary, we will handle any permits and approvals to ensure the project complies with local regulations. - Expert Installation
Our skilled team of professionals will widen the doorways and walls with precision, taking care to maintain the integrity and appearance of your space. We use high-quality materials to ensure durability and a finished product that looks as good as it works. - Final Review
Once the work is complete, we’ll walk you through the space to ensure everything meets your expectations. We’ll make any adjustments necessary to ensure the highest level of satisfaction.
