Baltimore, MD
Overview
Most Baltimore homes weren't built to be lived in by someone using a walker or a wheelchair. Doorways are 28 inches, bathrooms have step-over tubs and 2x2 footprints, and front entries have 3 to 6 steps with no railing. We retrofit existing homes — without making them look like medical facilities — so a homeowner can stay in their own house through their 70s, 80s, and beyond. That includes curbless walk-in showers with linear drains, comfort-height toilets, lever door handles, wider doorways (32-inch minimum), reinforced wall blocking for future grab bars, ramped or zero-step exterior entries, and ground-floor primary suites when the configuration supports it. Several team members hold CAPS (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist) credentials. We'll walk the house with you and the homeowner's OT or family, identify the highest-impact changes for their specific mobility profile, and stage the work so the home stays livable throughout.
No. Modern universal-design fixtures look like high-end design choices, not hospital equipment. Linear drains, curbless showers, and comfort-height toilets all read as 'nice' to a visitor — only the homeowner knows they're accessibility features.
For most clients, it's converting a tub-shower combo to a curbless walk-in shower. Eliminates the single biggest fall risk in the house. Costs $14k–$28k depending on layout.
Yes — most clients do. Bathroom first, then entry, then doorways. We'll sequence it so the house stays livable throughout.
Not usually. Some Medicare Advantage plans cover specific safety modifications, and the VA has a HISA grant for veterans. We can help with the documentation but the cost is typically out-of-pocket.
No obligation. We walk your space and give you a fixed-price quote.
