        "text": "The process of widening a doorway begins with protecting the surrounding area and then carefully removing the existing door frame and surrounding drywall. If it's a non-load-bearing wall, the opening is simply reframed to the new desired width. For load-bearing walls, temporary supports are installed, and a new, appropriately sized header is installed to redistribute weight. Finally, new drywall is installed, taped, mudded, sanded, and painted to match the existing wall.",
