Modern accessible design has moved past the institutional look. Here's what we typically build into an aging-in-place bathroom, in finishes that match the rest of your home.
No step-over threshold. Removes the single biggest fall hazard in the bathroom and works for a walker, a wheelchair, or nobody at all.
Anchored to solid wall blocking, in finishes that match your fixtures. Many double as towel bars, no institutional look required.
Sits two to three inches taller than standard, requiring less strength to sit and stand. Standard in most new construction now.
32 to 36 inches of clear width for walkers and wheelchairs, sometimes paired with a pocket door to save floor space.
Textured or matte porcelain and vinyl options that reduce slip risk without sacrificing style.
Lever-style faucets and door handles that don't require gripping or twisting, paired with brighter, better-placed lighting.
You don't have to do everything at once. Many homeowners start with the safety package, then expand later if needs change.
A full remodel includes a curbless shower, comfort-height toilet, wider doorway, non-slip flooring, and layout changes as needed. Most homeowners find the safety package covers the highest-impact items for the lowest cost, a call helps you figure out where to start.

Most projects like yours land in this range, but the right starting point depends on your household's specific needs. A quick call helps you figure out what to prioritize first: (919) 909-2700.

Residential homes aren't legally required to meet ADA standards, but the measurements exist for a reason: they're the dimensions that actually work for someone using a walker, a wheelchair, or simply needing more stability.
Is the required grab bar mounting height under the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, along with a 60-inch turning radius and 32 to 36 inch doorway clearances. We use these same measurements as our baseline for aging-in-place remodels, whether or not the project is legally required to meet them.
We walk the space, talk through your household's specific needs, and identify the highest-impact changes first.
You choose the project tier, safety package, curbless shower, or full remodel, and we confirm a fixed price and timeline in writing.
We pull any required plumbing, electrical, or structural permits before work begins.
Demolition, framing changes, grab bar blocking, and waterproofing happen first, followed by fixtures and finishes.
Comfort-height toilet, grab bars, lever hardware, and flooring go in last, once everything behind the wall is complete.
We test every grab bar, clearance, and fixture with you before the project is considered complete.

A focused safety package, grab bars, a comfort-height toilet, and non-slip flooring, typically starts around $1,500 to $4,500. A curbless shower conversion runs $6,000 to $10,000. A full accessible bathroom remodel with a wider doorway and layout changes typically runs $8,000 to $25,000.
A curbless shower entry. Removing the step-over threshold eliminates the most common fall hazard in the bathroom and works for anyone, whether they use a walker, a wheelchair, or nothing at all.
No. Modern grab bars are available in finishes that match standard bathroom hardware and often double as towel bars. Comfort-height toilets and curbless showers are now standard in many new-construction homes and read as upgrades, not medical equipment.
You can, but it costs more later. Adding solid wall blocking behind the tile during a remodel costs very little, while retrofitting blocking into a finished wall after the fact typically costs $150 to $400 per bar in additional labor.
Generally no. Curbless showers, comfort-height toilets, and good lighting are increasingly standard in new construction and appeal to a broad range of buyers, not just older adults. A well-designed accessible bathroom is usually seen as an upgrade rather than a limitation.
