Grab bars, handrails, threshold ramps, and safety modifications that let seniors stay safely at home. Serving Wilton and all of Fairfield County.
Most falls in the home happen in the bathroom, on stairs, and at uneven thresholds. We install the modifications that address each of those locations directly, using hardware rated for the load and anchored into studs 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 wall studs or with backing plates where studs are not accessible. Rated for 250 lbs minimum load.
Interior and exterior handrail installation and tightening. We add graspable rails on both sides of staircases where only one exists 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 stud access is available for grab bars.
We walk every location before installing anything. 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 Wilton visits are complete in two to three hours.
An older couple in a Wilton Center colonial wanted their main bathroom to feel steadier and asked for grab bars anchored directly into the tile surround. We set the bars into solid backing behind the tile so they hold full load, then swapped every round door knob in the house for lever handles that are far easier on stiff hands. The couple could turn a door without gripping and twisting by the time we finished that afternoon.
We serve all of Wilton including Wilton Center, Georgetown, Cannondale, and Nod Hill. Same day and next day appointments are available most weeks. Call (475) 500-7126 or book online to schedule.
