ADA Specialist
We specialize in Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, universal design principles, and custom barrier-free aging-in-place remodels.
Universal Design & ADA Principles
Unlike basic cosmetic remodeling, accessibility renovation requires a deep understanding of ADA clearance dimensions, slope percentages, backing reinforcements, and structural stability. Universal design ensures a home is safe, functional, and accessible for family members of all ages and mobilities, without compromising aesthetics.
Our Accessibility Capabilities
We adapt existing home structures to resolve mobility barriers cleanly and permanently:
- ✓Curbless Zero-Threshold Showers We re-engineer bathroom floor joists to recess shower bases, providing seamless roll-in tile shower entries with linear drains and high-end slip-resistant finishes.
- ✓Custom ADA Ramps & Clearances We calculate and build custom entry ramps with durable handrails, and widen interior framing corridors and doorways to meet wheelchair parameters.
- ✓Plywood Blocking Reinforcements We open and reinforce drywalled bathroom framing with structural plywood backing, ensuring grab bars and fold-down seats can withstand up to 250+ lbs of load pressure.
Supporting Senior Autonomy
By adapting homes to meet universal design standards, we enable Kenai Peninsula seniors to remain in their homes safely and comfortably, avoiding costly senior living shifts. We coordinate with occupational therapists to match specific daily mobility needs.
