Specialized Services
The services we offer include but are not limited to:
Aging-in-place Home Assessment
Not sure what your home needs? We offer detailed in-home accessibility assessments for Barrie homeowners. We walk through your entire home, identify hazards and barriers, and provide a prioritized list of recommended modifications — from quick fixes to long-term renovations. This gives you a clear roadmap, whether you do the work now or plan for it later.
Mobility Modifications
Properly anchored grab bars and safety rails are the fastest, most cost-effective way to prevent falls. We install grab bars in bathrooms, beside toilets, in showers, along hallways, and on stairways — secured to studs, finished cleanly, and built to hold. We follow Ontario Building Code guidelines and Age Safe Canada standards on every install.
Bathroom Safety and Accessibility
Traditional tubs and shower enclosures are one of the leading causes of falls for seniors and individuals with mobility challenges. We convert existing bathrooms into fully accessible bathing spaces — including barrier-free roll-in showers, walk-in tubs, fold-down shower seats, handheld shower heads, and non-slip flooring. We handle the full renovation from demo to final tile.
Smart Home Technologies
We integrate smart systems that can alert caregivers or emergency services, use voice-activated devices for lighting, security, and communication. We also install systems that allow caregivers or family to monitor the individual’s safety remotely.
Kitchen Renovations
Lowering of countertops & cabinets for accessibility from a seated position or for individuals with mobility limitations is one of our specialties. we also fabricate and install roll-under cabinets that can accommodate sinks and cooktops. We assess each kitchen and devise solutions that make the space accessible, tailored to the individual and family's needs
Full Home Accessibility Modifications
For clients who need comprehensive modifications, we offer full home accessibility assessments and phased or complete remodels. We evaluate every room — bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, entryways, hallways, and outdoor access — and build a renovation plan that addresses your current needs while future-proofing your home for the years ahead.
Outdoor Accessibility
Custom-built wheelchair and mobility ramps for residential properties across Barrie and Simcoe County. We build permanent and removable ramp options to suit your home's entry points, meet Ontario building code slope requirements, and use non-slip surfaces for year-round safety. Every ramp is designed to look like it belongs — not an afterthought bolted to the front of your home.
Lighting and Electrical Adjustments
We install Motion-Sensor Lighting that activates with movement to prevent accidents. We also provide touchless faucets, smart lighting, and voice-activated systems. Additional outlets & switches can be Installed at appropriate heights and in convenient locations, especially for medical equipment.
Threshold and Barrier Removal
Small lips and raised thresholds between rooms are invisible hazards for people using walkers, wheelchairs, or dealing with balance issues. We remove or level thresholds throughout your home to create smooth, unobstructed pathways from room to room.
