Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a building permit for this?

If the wall is load-bearing or if we are enlarging an exterior window opening (which affects the building envelope), a permit is usually required in Toronto. We can help guide you through the process and ensure all work meets the Building Code.

How wide should a door be for a wheelchair?

For comfortable accessibility, we recommend widening doorways to at least 32 inches clear width, though 36 inches is ideal to allow for easy turning and maneuvering without scraping knuckles.

What happens to the flooring where the wall used to be?

Widening a doorway leaves a gap in the floor. We can patch this with matching flooring material or install a smooth transition threshold to bridge the gap seamlessly.

Requires inspection: Yes

Estimated Time: 3 to 8 hours

Materials included: Not included (unless specified)

Warranty Period: 2 years

Service Complexity Moderate

Why is a Technical Visit necessary?

You cannot simply cut a hole in a wall to make it wider. If the wall is "load-bearing" (holding up the roof or floor above), removing studs without installing a temporary support wall and a permanent structural beam (header) can cause your house to collapse. Our Widening Doorways & Windows assessment identifies the load path and calculates the size of the LVL or steel beam needed to carry the weight safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a professional on-site assessment. A certified CNG Contracting technician inspects the work area, takes measurements and photos, checks access, safety, and any constraints (power, water, ventilation), and discusses your goals, style, and finishes. You’ll receive a detailed proposal with a clearly defined scope, timeline, and material options. Even if you choose not to proceed, you keep the written findings and recommendations.

We typically confirm within 2 business hours by email or phone with the earliest available time window. For urgent issues, we try to offer same day response when scheduling and scope allow. Larger jobs may require material lead times if so, we coordinate the earliest visit that avoids delays once on site.

After the assessment we define a clear scope of work (tasks, inclusions, timeline, and material assumptions). Your quote reflects that scope as a fixed price it won’t change unless you approve a scope change or we uncover a hidden condition that wasn’t visible during inspection (e.g., concealed rot). Any change is documented with photos and options before proceeding.

We protect floors and high-traffic areas, isolate dust where needed, and remove debris at the end of the day. We aim to minimize disruption to your routine. At handover, we complete a quality checklist and, when appropriate, share before-and-after photos for your records.

For services labeled “materials included”, standard consumables and parts are covered. For custom work (e.g., built-ins), we can price both CNG-supplied materials and client-supplied materials. We’ll specify makes, quantities, and compatibility to ensure durability and code compliance.

Yes. Rescheduling with at least 48 hours’ notice is free. Short-notice cancellations may incur a coordination fee. If weather or health/safety concerns arise, we prioritize safety and offer the closest new slot available.

We provide a 2-year workmanship warranty. If something isn’t right, we’ll diagnose and correct it promptly. For support, email handyman-pro@cngcontracting.com
or call (647) 669-7346; we’ll schedule a follow-up, document findings, and complete the corrective work.

Yes. We offer maintenance plans, priority response, standardized task catalogs, and consolidated invoicing for offices, retail, and multi-unit buildings. Ask about SLAs and reporting if you manage multiple locations.

Absolutely. We design and install grab bars, threshold ramps, wider doorways, anti-slip flooring, walk-in shower rails, and more. We assess reach, transfer zones, and path-of-travel to reduce fall risk and increase independence. We’ll explain pros/cons, maintenance, and lifespan of each option.

We cover Toronto (all boroughs), Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Oakville, Burlington, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Oshawa, Milton, Guelph, Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, London, Barrie, St. Catharines / Niagara and more. Our system assigns the nearest crew and accounts for travel to meet the agreed time window.
