Stay in
your home
A bedroom and a bathroom for a parent who is moving in, or the changes that make your own house easier to live in: a shower with no step, wider doors, hard floors, a ramp to the door.
A place for a parent, close by
When a parent moves in, everyone does better with some privacy. A bedroom and a bathroom of their own, with a door that closes, lets them keep their routine and lets you keep yours.
We can build that suite in the basement, or on the main floor when the stairs are the problem. Give it its own outside entrance and it can serve as an apartment later; the apartments page explains how.
What the job includes
- A free visit first: Andy walks the way in, the stairs and the bathroom with you
- A bedroom and a bathroom for a parent, downstairs or on the main floor
- A shower with no step to climb over, and bars where you reach for them
- Wider doorways
- Hard floors in place of carpet
- A ramp up to the door
- One price, in writing, before work starts
Changes that let you stay
Some people do not need a whole suite. They need the house they already have to keep working: a shower they can walk into, a doorway wide enough for a walker, a floor a wheelchair rolls across, a way in without steps.
We already make changes like these for people, and we build them the way we build everything else. At the estimate visit Andy tells you what he would change and what can wait, so you can decide what to do now.
Questions people ask
Can you do just the bathroom?
Yes. A shower with no step is where a lot of people start, and it may be the only change you need.
Can a parent's suite have its own entrance?
Yes. We add outside entrances for basement apartments, and a suite can have one too.
Do these changes need a permit?
A new bedroom or bathroom does, and we pull it before work starts. Andy tells you at the estimate which parts of your job need one.
