We understand that you may have some questions regarding accessible renovations. Here are answers to a few of our frequently asked questions:

Do I need to obtain specific permits for accessibility renovations?

The requirement for permits may vary depending on the nature and extent of the renovation. Our team can secure the permits you require, guiding you through the permit process as needed and ensuring that all necessary approvals are obtained to meet local building codes and regulations.

Can I still live in my home during the renovation process?

This is largely up to your discretion. We strive to minimize disruptions to your daily life during the renovation process. Our team plans the project carefully, ensuring that you can continue living in your home comfortably while the work is underway if you prefer. However, there may be a significant period when you are unable to use your kitchen or bathroom. Some of our clients plan coinciding vacations at this time or stay with family or friends to ensure they can continue their daily tasks without disruptions. 

How can I make my bathroom more accessible?

There are numerous ways to make your bathroom more accessible. When you choose to work with our team, we invest time in understanding your desired modifications, in addition to making suggestions that have proven to be helpful for our other accessible renovation clients. Some modifications include installing grab bars, replacing a traditional tub with a roll-in shower, and incorporating non-slip flooring. Our experts will assess your specific needs and provide personalized recommendations tailored to your requirements.
