Comprehensive Accessibility Renovation Services

Accessible Bathrooms

Bathrooms can be challenging spaces for individuals with mobility issues, but with the right modifications, they can become safe and accessible environments. We specialize in designing and remodeling bathrooms that cater to your needs without sacrificing style.

  • Walk-In Showers: Install barrier-free showers with grab bars, non-slip flooring, and built-in seating for added safety and convenience.
  • Accessible Bathtubs: Choose from walk-in bathtubs with easy entry or tubs equipped with lifts for a relaxing and safe bathing experience.
  • Custom Vanities: Design vanities with knee space and accessible storage to accommodate wheelchairs and mobility aids.
  • Grab Bars & Handrails: Strategically placed grab bars and handrails provide additional support and stability.

Accessible Kitchens

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it should be accessible to everyone. We offer kitchen renovations that prioritize safety, functionality, and ease of use.

  • Lowered Countertops & Cabinets: Install countertops and cabinets at accessible heights, making it easier to reach and use.
  • Pull-Out Shelving & Drawers: Incorporate pull-out shelving, lazy Susans, and easy-to-reach drawers to enhance storage accessibility.
  • Accessible Appliances: We install appliances that are easy to operate, with front controls, side-opening ovens, and pull-down racks.
  • Open-Plan Layouts: Create spacious, open-plan kitchen designs that allow for easy movement and maneuverability, even with mobility aids.

Doorways, Ramps & Elevators

Improving mobility throughout the home often requires modifications to doorways, stairs, and entryways. We provide a range of solutions to ensure that your home is fully accessible.

  • Widened Doorways: Modify doorways to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility aids, ensuring smooth and easy access.
  • Ramps & Lifts: Install ramps at entryways and between levels, or consider a stairlift or home elevator for multi-level homes.
  • Lever-Style Door Handles: Replace traditional doorknobs with lever-style handles that are easier to operate for individuals with limited hand mobility.
  • Threshold Modifications: Adjust thresholds for smooth transitions, preventing tripping hazards and making rooms easily accessible.

Home Modifications for Safety & Comfort

Creating a safe and comfortable living environment is at the core of our accessibility renovations. We focus on modifications that enhance your independence while ensuring that your home remains a welcoming space.

  • Non-Slip Flooring: Install non-slip flooring throughout your home to prevent falls and enhance safety.
  • Lighting Enhancements: Improve visibility with strategically placed lighting, motion-activated lights, and illuminated switches.
  • Smart Home Technology: Integrate smart home systems that allow you to control lighting, heating, and security with ease, using voice commands or mobile apps.
  • Accessible Outdoor Spaces: Create accessible pathways, decks, and patios with smooth transitions and ramps for easy outdoor access.
