Door widening is a subtle but powerful way to make your home more accessible, especially for individuals who use wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids. Many standard doorways in older homes are too narrow to comfortably accommodate these devices, forcing people to turn sideways, struggle through tight spaces, or avoid certain rooms entirely. Widening doorways restores full access to every part of the home, creating a smoother and more independent way of living.

This modification is especially important for aging in place. It allows older adults to move freely through their home without relying on assistance or giving up parts of their daily routine. Door widening is also a common add-on when installing wheelchair ramps, as it complements the goal of seamless entry and movement from one area of the home to another.

At In-Place Remodeling, we understand that aesthetics matter. That’s why we take great care to make door widening look natural—matching trim, paint, and hardware so the change blends in with the rest of your home. Whether you’re opening access to a bedroom, bathroom, hallway, or kitchen, our team ensures your space remains beautiful while becoming more functional.

Our installations are tailored to your needs and meet ADA-recommended widths for accessibility. We also evaluate the swing direction, clear floor space, and potential obstructions to maximize comfort and mobility. In many cases, we can achieve the ideal width with minimal disruption to your walls or layout.

Freedom Through Every Door

When you widen a doorway, you open more than just physical space—you open the door to continued independence, privacy, and dignity. Whether used in combination with ramps, stair lifts, or other aging in place modifications, this change empowers you or your loved one to live comfortably and confidently at home. Let In-Place Remodeling help you make your home safer and more accessible, one doorway at a time.
