Home Modification Services

No two homes need the same modifications because each person’s requirements are as unique as their limitations. An adolescent confined to a wheelchair will require different adaptations than an elderly person with hearing loss that uses a walker. The staff at StayHome Safe is well versed in all the available technologies, products and techniques that can enable a comfortable, safe and independent lifestyle for persons with special needs.

StayHome Safe provides home modification services ranging from simple to complex. We will work with you to develop and implement a plan that meets your budget and special needs. Many simple adaptations such as secure area rugs, installing higher wattage light bulbs, or converting door knobs to door levers can be done by you, a friend or family member.

But we also recognize that your requirements may require professional attention. Building a ramp into your home, installing a walk-in shower, or lowering sinks and cabinets should be done to your specifications while meeting local building codes.

The National Association of Home Builders, the National Resource Center on Supportive Housing and Home Modification, The Center for Universal Design, and other groups have studied home modifications and prepared guidelines to offer best practices in home modifications. The staff at StayHome Safe continually reviews these guidelines to understand the available alternatives and under what circumstances they should be applied.

StayHome Safe is a licensed general contractor and is skilled at making the home modifications you need. All modifications are done to meet the unique needs and limitations of each client, young or old. We will use the finest products and techniques to implement the adaptations you need within your budget to create a safe and convenient independent living environment.

And, if you are considering adding onto your home, or building a new one, StayHome Safe can consult with you, your architect or builder to ensure your plans meet your needs today and tomorrow.

No home modification job is too small or too large for StayHome Safe. Contact us today and let us help you develop a plan to create the safe and independent living environment you require.
