Grab bars, handrails, threshold ramps, and safety modifications that let seniors stay safely at home. Serving Rye and all of Westchester County.
Most falls in the home happen in the bathroom, on stairs, and at uneven thresholds. In Rye, many homes are older colonials and Tudors with steep original staircases and raised door saddles that add risk. We install the modifications that address each of those locations directly, using hardware rated for the load and anchored into the wall framing or proper backing material so the installation holds under real use.
ADA compliant grab bars beside the toilet, in the shower, and next to the tub. Anchored into the wall framing or with backing plates where framing is not accessible. Rated for 250 lbs minimum load.
Interior and exterior handrail installation and tightening. We add graspable rails on both sides of the steep original staircases common in Rye and secure loose existing rails that have worked free of the wall.
Rubber and aluminum threshold ramps over raised door saddles that create a trip hazard. Common at exterior doors, garage entries, and between different flooring surfaces on the same level.
Freestanding and wall mounted toilet safety rails that provide push up support. Important for post surgical recovery and for anyone with hip or knee mobility limitations.
Round door knobs replaced with lever style handles throughout the home. Levers do not require gripping and twisting and are significantly easier for hands with arthritis or reduced grip strength.
Motion activated night lights and improved fixtures in hallways, stairwells, and bathrooms. Most nighttime falls happen on routes between the bedroom and bathroom with inadequate lighting.
Tell us which rooms need modifications. We confirm wall types and whether framing access is available for grab bars.
We walk every location before installing anything. A stud finder confirms anchor points. We flag anything that requires a different hardware approach.
All hardware is installed, load tested, and confirmed before we leave. We clean up and walk you through each modification.
Every grab bar, rail, and ramp is in place and ready to use. Most Rye visits are complete in two to three hours.
A family in Milton called us to install grab bars in both bathrooms and a handrail on the back porch steps before their mother returned home after a hip replacement. The main bathroom had a plaster over lath wall, so we used backing plates for a solid hold rated to full load. We completed the visit in under three hours and had everything installed, tested, and ready before she arrived.
We serve all of Rye including Greenhaven, Milton, Indian Village, and City Center. Same day and next day appointments are available most weeks. Call (475) 500-7126 or book online to schedule.
