ADA Compliant Renovations

What ADA Compliant Renovations Can Include

ADA-minded upgrades can be as simple as adding grab bars or as involved as reworking entire rooms. We tailor each project to the person using the space and how they move through the home.

Common ADA compliant renovation work includes:

• Widened doorways and clearer pathways
• Smoother transitions between flooring surfaces
• Adjusted counter and fixture heights
• Safer, more accessible showers and tubs
• Entry and ramp solutions with appropriate slopes and rails
• Better lighting and controls placed within easy reach

We look at how you use your home every day and recommend improvements that make movement and tasks easier without overcomplicating the design.

Accessible Bathrooms Built for Safety & Comfort

Bathrooms are often the first place homeowners look when planning ADA oriented updates. Tight layouts, high tub walls, and slippery surfaces can create daily challenges.

Our ADA focused bathroom renovations may include:

• Walk-in or low-threshold showers to reduce step-over height
• Built-in or fold-down shower seats
• Strategically placed grab bars at showers, tubs, and toilets
• Handheld showerheads and easy-to-reach controls
• Wider clearances for walkers, wheelchairs, and caregivers
• Non-slip flooring and appropriate drain placement

We pay careful attention to waterproofing, blocking for grab bars, and fixture placement so the room is safer to use while still matching the look and feel of the rest of your home.

Entries, Ramps & Exterior Access

Getting in and out of the house safely is just as important as moving around inside. We help improve entry points so they’re easier to use with mobility aids, medical equipment, and everyday items like groceries and packages.

Exterior ADA oriented work can include:

• Ramps or re-graded approaches with appropriate slopes
• Wider exterior doors and landings for better clearance
• Sturdy railings and grab points at steps and porches
• Covered entries that provide protection from weather
• Improved lighting at doors, walkways, and garage entries

Whenever possible, we tie these changes into existing porches, decks, and walkways so the exterior remains cohesive and visually appealing.

Safer Hallways, Bedrooms & Living Spaces

ADA minded renovations often extend beyond kitchens and baths into common areas and bedrooms. Small changes can significantly reduce the risk of trips and falls and make it easier to move around with mobility aids.

Interior updates can include:

• Widening doorways and adjusting swing directions
• Smoothing thresholds between rooms and flooring types
• Reworking closet layouts for easier reach
• Repositioning switches and thermostats
• Adding blocking inside walls for future grab bar locations
• Improving lighting in halls, stairways, and key transition areas

We review the paths you take most often—from bedroom to bathroom, from entry to main living space—and focus on making those routes more direct and less obstructed.

Coordinating With Codes, Guidelines & Your Priorities

ADA guidelines and accessibility best practices provide direction, but every home and situation is different. Our role is to help you understand what’s recommended, what’s required in certain situations, and what makes the most sense for your household.

During planning, we:

• Review relevant code requirements and clearances
• Identify upgrades that offer the biggest day-to-day benefit
• Coordinate with your medical providers or therapists, if requested, to understand specific needs
• Respect your timeline, budget, and preferred style

The result is a renovation plan that aims to improve safety and accessibility while still feeling like home.
