Doorway Widening Cost Calculator

Screen the likely complexity before opening walls. A non-load-bearing interior opening is very different from a structural or utility-heavy wall.

Doorways

Number widened in the same project.

Wall condition

Choose the most complex typical opening.

Door solution

Pocket doors require clear wall cavities.

Finish repair level

Trim, paint, wall patching, and flooring transitions.

Estimated result

$4,240–$6,890

2 openings; midpoint $5,300.

How to interpret the result

Measure the clear opening with the door open, not only the nominal slab width.
Sometimes offset hinges or removing a door solves the route with less construction.

The tool applies this planning structure:

door count × wall-condition allowance × finish factor + contingency

Header design, utilities, fire ratings, lead/asbestos, and floor repair require inspection.
Clearance needs vary by mobility device and maneuvering pattern.
