We were hired last week to create a door opening from the garage to the side of a newly constructed house. This had not been included as an option with the builder – see photo’s below.

This project included:

• layout,
• removal of drywall at new opening
• sawcut and removal of a 3’wide section of the concrete kneewall to make it flush with the existing garage floor
• frame new opening
• running electrical for exterior light and switch
• install a new 6 panel fiberglass door and hardware
• drywall patching on interior
• installing & caulking exterior trim to match existing house trim

Things that may be required of similar types of projects that were not required of this one:

• if door was installed on a bearing wall engineered drawings and permits
• installation of a 3’x3′ landing(flagstone, concrete, or wood depending on cost restrictions and existing landscaping)

We also don’t typically do any painting or finish work.
