Barrier-Free Residential Construction
VersaPro is a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) for Livonia residents and surrounding communities. When people want to age in place, the best way to do so safely and comfortably in a familiar environment is through barrier free residential construction. Secure installation of the right safeguards makes it possible for adults to maintain their independence and mobility and confidently go about their days in their home.
Possibilities for Barrier-Free Home Modifications
Any barrier-free residential construction can be customized to a residence so that the additions operate in exactly the way its inhabitants need. Some of the most common and helpful barrier-free residential construction services include:
- Ramp installation for wheelchair accessibility
- Stairs changed to ramps
- Shower turned into a wet room
- Grab bar installation
- Door widening
- Kitchen and tub modifications
- Addition of motion-activated lighting
- Widen doorways
- Smooth landings and thresholds
Types of Barrier-Free Residential Construction Plans
You know where the challenges and dangers are in your home or in your loved one’s living space. We offer barrier-free residential construction whether you are adding an in-law suite, safeguarding an apartment, or changing an entire home. Residential options include:
- Modifications. Modifications often include significant structural changes to floor plans for easier movement, say for someone in a wheelchair or who has a rolling walker. Some home features can be a hindrance, so removal of unwanted features can be factored into a modification while barrier-free additions are carried out.
- Custom designs. Homes with too many stairs, sunken areas, inaccessible laundry facilities, or exterior challenges often require careful customization to make sure access to and use of all living areas is reasonable and possible. Custom designs make sure a person with a wheelchair, walker, cane, visual limitations, audio limitations, or a service animal can get where they need to go at home at all times.
- Renovations. Certain types of homes are not user-friendly for someone who is aging or whose mobility has been compromised. Renovations can be carried out to make the home safer and easier to navigate. If there are existing barrier-free elements in a home but they are insufficient or in poor condition, careful and strong changes can be made.
Move Independently with Barrier-Free Residential Construction
Anyone affected by the limitations of their body, whether handicapped, aging, or ill, can improve their quality of life when able to maintain independence and easily manage their daily needs because of barrier-free elements. VersaPro’s Certified Aging in Place Specialists review a space and suggest changes or additions that can make a person feel self-sufficient and comfortable.
Some of the most common requests for safe, barrier-free home renovations include:
- Grab bars. Positioned at comfortable heights in showers, by toilets, in hallways, near beds to improve stability.
- Comfort-height elements. Easy-to-reach kitchen features or low toilets that allow for privacy.
- Ramps. Installed aluminum ramps for mobility limitations like a wheelchair, walker, cane, or otherwise.
- Carpeting. Removal of carpeting and addition of slip-resistant flooring or change of carpeting to low pile to reduce rolling resistance.
