Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services.
We cover the full range of accessibility upgrades. Common requests include:
- Bathrooms: roll-in or walk-in showers, grab bars, non-slip flooring, comfort-height toilets, wider entrances.
- Kitchens: pull-down shelving, accessible counters, side-opening ovens, open floor layouts for mobility devices.
- Entrances and pathways: ramps, stair lifts, widened doors, automatic door openers, better outdoor grading.
- Whole-home adjustments: lighting, smart-home safety systems, flooring transitions, and mobility-friendly layouts.
We tailor each project to the individual’s needs—sometimes it’s a single grab bar, sometimes it’s a full-home renovation.
There are several ways to reduce the cost of accessibility renovations, depending on where you live and your situation. To provide the most affordable options for you, we have a partnership with a non-profit to support you on this.
– Government grants and rebates
– Tax credits (The Home Accessibility Tax Credit allows you to claim up to $20,000 of eligible renovation expenses on your income tax. Other provincial credits may also apply)
– Local housing or community programs
– Insurance or workers’ compensation
Small upgrades (grabs bars, ramps) are usually very budget friendly, ranging from $500 – 7,500.
Medium projects (bathroom modifications, doorway widening) are typically $10,000- $20,000
Larger renovations (full kitchen, multi-room changes) can go higher. The important thing: we always review funding options first so families can evaluate their options and have a realistic out-of-pocket number before committing. We can also phase renovations over to spread out costs.
Small projects: from a day / two, up to one week’s time.
Mid-sized projects: usually 2-4 weeks
Larger builds: multiple months, especially if permits are required.
