What Is Aging-in-Place Remodeling?

Aging-in-place home modifications are updates and renovations that make your space safer, more accessible, and easier to navigate as you age. These upgrades are designed to reduce fall risks, improve daily function, and accommodate physical changes—all without compromising style.

Common goals include:

• Preventing slips, trips, and falls

• Making entryways, bathrooms, and kitchens more accessible

• Enabling independent living for seniors or people with mobility challenges

• Creating space for caregivers or medical equipment

• Improving long-term livability in multi-generational households

Whether it’s a simple grab bar installation or a full accessible bathroom remodel, we tailor every project to your unique needs and goals.

Our Accessibility Remodeling Services

We offer a wide range of modifications to improve safety, mobility, and convenience in every area of your home. From bathroom renovations to full-home accessibility upgrades, our licensed contractors create solutions that blend function with beautiful design.

Accessible Bathroom Remodels

The bathroom is one of the most important—and hazardous—spaces in the home when mobility becomes a concern. We specialize in transforming standard bathrooms into safe, functional, and elegant spaces for aging-in-place.

Our services include:

• Curbless Walk-In Showers – Easy-access entry, built-in seating, hand-held showerheads, and non-slip tile

• Tub-to-Shower Conversions – Remove high-sided tubs and install sleek, accessible shower solutions

• Grab Bars & Support Rails – Strategically placed for stability and safety without sacrificing style

• Comfort-Height Toilets – Easier to use and safer for individuals with limited mobility

• Slip-Resistant Flooring – Textured surfaces reduce fall risk while looking beautiful

• Wider Doorways & Pocket Doors – For wheelchair or walker accessibility

• Accessible Vanities – Knee clearance for seated use, lower countertop heights, and accessible storage

All modifications are built to meet or exceed ADA guidelines while seamlessly integrating into your home’s existing design.

Kitchen Accessibility Upgrades

The kitchen is the hub of the home—but it can also be filled with challenges for individuals with mobility limitations. We remodel kitchens for safer, more efficient use, whether standing or seated.

Accessibility solutions include:

• Lowered countertops and cooktops

• Pull-out shelving and drawers for easy reach

• D-shaped handles and touch-activated faucets

• Open space under sinks and prep areas for seated access

• Lever or smart controls on appliances

• Task lighting and better layout flow

Our goal is to help you maintain independence in the kitchen while reducing strain and enhancing comfort.

Whole-Home Modifications for Mobility & Safety

Whether you’re modifying a single room or your entire home, we offer practical solutions that promote freedom of movement and peace of mind.

Common modifications include:

• Widened Hallways and Doorways – Ideal for wheelchair or walker use

• Ramps and Threshold Adjustments – For step-free entry and easier access

• Stair Lifts or Elevator Installations – Custom-fitted for multi-level homes

• Non-Slip Flooring – Throughout the home to reduce risk of injury

• Smart Lighting & Motion Sensors – Improve visibility and ease of use

• Bedroom Relocation or First-Floor Suite Additions – Avoid the need for stairs

• Handrails and Support Features in Living Areas – Blending safety and design

We ensure every change is done with precision, care, and sensitivity to your lifestyle and needs.

Aging-in-Place Home Assessments
