ASSESSING YOUR NEEDS FOR ACCESSIBLE HOME RENOVATIONS

Accessible home renovations will give your home a more accommodating living area for anyone who is disabled or struggles with mobility issues. Heilman's Renovations can assist you with such renovations on your home to ensure that those who are disabled will be more comfortable and safe during their day to day living.

Assessing Your Needs

If you are thinking about accessible home renovations, the first thing that you should do is consider where you want to make your home more accessible and how you can complete that project. Begin by making a list of what will work for you and those who reside in your home. Identify the issue and then call a renovation company to help create and accessible design for your renovations that will help you resolve your accessibility.

A good example would be someone who is in a wheelchair that may have difficulty in using the kitchen sink due to the lack of knee space, or perhaps the faucet is slightly out of reach. A good solution is to renovate the home so that these are no longer issues.

Options for Accessibility at Home

Many people opt to make one of the bathrooms or the kitchen area more accessible with features such as a residential elevator, shower seats, safety bars and the like. North Vancouver general contractors can build these features into your home so that they will be more accessible. Installing easier to use hardware is also beneficial to help the elderly and those who struggle with mobility. Understanding that some of the rooms are easier to modify than others will go far in helping the accessibility to become a reality.

Don't forget wheelchair ramps and lifts as well as handrails to help people in and out of the home and to aid in the accessibility.
