Make Your Home Safer to Move Through

ADA accessibility remodeling for homeowners aging in place in Owensboro, Madisonville, and throughout Western Kentucky.

If you or someone in your household has trouble stepping over a tub edge, navigating narrow doorways, or standing in the shower, small changes to your home can make daily routines safer and less tiring. Homeowners in Owensboro, Madisonville, and throughout Western Kentucky often start thinking about accessibility modifications when balance becomes less reliable or when a temporary injury makes it clear how difficult certain rooms are to use. These modifications let you stay in your home longer without needing to move to a single-level or assisted living facility.

Elite Installation Services installs curbless showers, grab bars, widened doorways, and other modifications that meet ADA guidelines and improve safety without making your home look institutional. Curbless showers eliminate the step-in barrier and allow wheelchair or walker access, while grab bars are anchored into studs to support your full weight. Doorways are widened by reframing openings, and lever-style handles replace round knobs that are hard to grip.

If you're ready to make your West Kentucky home more accessible, contact the team to schedule a consultation and discuss which modifications will help most.

What accessibility remodeling includes and changes

The crew starts by evaluating your home in Owensboro, Madisonville, and surrounding cities to identify where mobility challenges are most likely, such as bathrooms with high tubs, hallways too narrow for walkers, or entryways with steps. Curbless showers require removing the existing shower pan, adjusting floor height, and installing a linear drain that slopes water away without a raised threshold. Grab bars are placed near toilets, inside showers, and along hallways where they'll be used most often.

After the work is complete, you'll move through your home with less effort and lower risk of falling. Showers become easier to enter, doors open without twisting motions, and you'll have something sturdy to hold onto when standing or sitting. Widened doorways allow wheelchairs and walkers to pass through without catching on the frame.

The project includes reinforcing walls where grab bars mount, leveling shower floors to prevent water pooling, and replacing standard door hardware with accessible alternatives. The crew patches drywall, repaints affected areas, and removes old fixtures from your property. Accessibility remodels do not include full bathroom renovations or structural changes beyond doorway widening unless planned in advance.

You probably have a few questions about this work

Most people want to know what modifications will make the biggest difference, how long the work takes, and whether their home can accommodate these changes without major construction. Here's what you need to know.

How long does an accessibility remodel take?
Most bathroom modifications in Sacramento finish within one to two weeks depending on whether plumbing or electrical work is involved. Grab bar installation and door hardware upgrades usually take just a day or two.
What makes a shower curbless?
A curbless shower has no raised edge to step over, so you can walk or roll straight in. The floor slopes gently toward a linear drain, and a glass panel or curtain keeps water from spreading into the rest of the bathroom.
Why do some grab bars feel sturdier than others?
Grab bars anchored into wall studs or blocking support several hundred pounds, while bars mounted only to drywall pull out under weight. Proper installation includes reinforcing the wall if studs aren't positioned where you need the bar.
When should I widen doorways?
Widen doorways if you use a wheelchair, walker, or if you anticipate needing mobility aids in the future. Standard doorways are often too narrow to comfortably navigate, and widening prevents damage to walls and door frames from repeated contact.
What other changes help with aging in place?
Lever-style door handles, raised toilet seats, handheld showerheads, and nonslip flooring all reduce strain and improve safety. Adding a ramp at your entryway eliminates steps and makes coming and going easier.
