        "text": "When widening an existing interior doorway, the process begins by cutting drywall back to inspect for concealed electrical wiring or ductwork. Next, the original door jamb and existing king and jack studs are removed. The crew installs a new header at the appropriate height, sets new jack studs to support the header, and secures king studs to lock the opening in place. Once the new rough framing is plumb, level, and square, drywall is hung and taped, followed by installing the new pre-hung door unit, casing trim, and matching paint.",
