Services

  • I will conduct a thorough assessment of your home, pinpointing potential hazards and areas for improvement. I recognize that every home and individual's needs are unique, which is why our consultation process is tailored to your specific circumstances.

    During the consultation, we will examine factors such as mobility, accessibility, and overall safety. I take into account aspects like stairways, flooring, doorways, lighting, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen appliances. By assessing these areas, I can determine the necessary modifications to support your comfort and security.

  • Based on our assessment, I will provide you with personalized recommendations for barrier-free design. My goal is to make your home accessible to everyone, regardless of age or mobility limitations. My suggestions encompass a wide range of modifications such as installing grab bars, installing ramps and widening doorways.

  • To ensure the successful implementation of your desired modifications or remodels, I am pleased to work alongside contractors and remodelers. I can provide detailed plans and specifications tailored to your needs, enabling the contractors to execute the modifications efficiently and accurately.
