Why Local Home Modification Services Matter
When modifying your home for aging in place or mobility issues, local knowledge is everything. Connecticut homes are different than anywhere else due to their specific layouts, building codes, and seasonal factors. A local crew knows:
- What home configurations are typical in West Hartford and the surrounding towns
- What safe materials will withstand New England’s fluctuating weather
- How to ensure Connecticut building and ADA compliance
- How to navigate around older home construction without compromising safety
Since we’re located in West Hartford, we can move fast, set up complimentary consultations, and provide you with a customized plan that meets both your requirements and your home.
Our Home Modification Services
We offer a comprehensive selection of aging-in-place and accessibility improvements that make your home simpler and safer to move around in.
Bathroom Modifications
Bathrooms are one of the most frequent locations for slips and falls. We make them safer with:
- Walk-in tubs for easier bathing
- Roll-in showers with slip-resistant flooring
- Grab bars in toilets, tubs, and showers
- Easy-to-access fixtures
These enhancements don’t only ensure your bathroom is safer, they also make it look great and fashionable.
Wheelchair Ramps
Entering and exiting your home shouldn’t be complicated. We construct:
- Permanent wheelchair ramps
- Portable ramp solutions for short-term accessibility
- Slip-resistant ramps for seasonal protection
All of our ramps are constructed to ADA specifications and tailored to your entrance.
Grab Bars & Handrails
Small adjustments can be a big help. We install:
- Bathroom and hallway grab bars
- Two-sided handrails on stairs
- Unobtrusive styles to blend in with your home
These braces assist in preventing falls and provide you with the confidence to navigate.
Doorway Widening
Thin doorways can be difficult to pass through, particularly with walkers or wheelchairs. We can:
- Widen doorways without compromising the structure of the home
- Blend new trim and design to create a seamless appearance
- Provide smooth transitions between rooms
Smart Home Features
Life can be made simpler and safer with technology. Our smart home upgrades feature:
- Voice-controlled lights and appliances
- Smart door locks and security systems
- Motion-sensing lighting in hallways and entryways
We tailor the installation to your level of technology comfort.

- Save money in the long run: Home adaptations can be less expensive than consistent care facilities.
