Remodeling a home to accommodate a disability of any kind requires an experienced professional, and Dan Schaefer is your man. As owner of Providence Renovation, LLC, a residential and commercial restoration and remodeling company in Phoenix, he talks here about the various options open to you…
While any time of home renovation should enhance the quality of your life, this is even more important when it comes to remodeling to accommodate a disability. At Providence Renovation, we have years of experience doing all types of home remodeling, and we do all we can to improve and enhance the accessibility and independence you deserve.
Some people might need just a single room of their home remodeled, such as the bathroom. Others might require virtually their entire house to be remodeled, including the kitchen, bedroom and bath. You may also need to have the exterior of your home renovated to accommodate a wheelchair, you might need guardrails, ramps and things of that nature.
Every disability renovation is an individual one, and should be suited to the customer’s own specific wants and needs. But some things to keep in mind when looking into disability remodeling may include:
- Bathroom: A sit-down or universal access shower; special sitting for the toilet; a walk-in (or roll-in) shower/tub; guard rails; grab bars; non-slip flooring; special thermostats for those who are visually impaired.
- Kitchen: Wide aisles for a walker or wheelchair; a deep sink; a stove that is the right height when the user is sitting down; sliding cabinet doors; work surfaces of different heights; specialized taps and faucets; motion sensors to turn lights on and off.
- Home Exterior: Wheelchair ramp if needed; wider doorways; shelves to put packages on.
