Many homes in the Cedar Park and Leander area were built during the rapid growth of the past two or three decades. They are single-story or two-story slab-on-grade houses with standard-width doorways, step-in showers and tubs, and bathrooms that were not designed with mobility in mind. Central Texas summers also keep residents indoors more often, which makes the layout and safety features of a home matter even more for older adults who spend the majority of their day inside.
An aging-in-place project does not have to be a large renovation. Many of the most effective changes are straightforward: a grab bar beside the toilet, a handrail along a hallway, slip-resistant flooring in a bathroom, or a low-threshold shower conversion. We walk through the home with you, identify the specific spots that need attention, and complete the work with the same care we bring to every job. All workmanship is guaranteed in writing for one year from the invoice date.
What we do
Aging in Place Modifications We Handle
Grab Bars and Handrails
We install grab bars in bathrooms beside the toilet, inside the shower, and along the tub surround. We also add handrails along hallways and stairs where support is missing. Each bar is anchored into studs or blocking so it holds under real load.
Ramp Installation
We build or install fixed and portable accessibility ramps at entry doors and exterior steps. Ramps are sized to the correct slope for safe wheelchair and walker use and built to hold up in the Texas heat and sun.
Walk-In and Zero-Threshold Showers
We convert standard step-in showers and tubs into walk-in or zero-threshold showers with a low or curbless entry. We also install shower seats and fold-down benches so bathing is safer and less tiring.
Slip-Resistant Flooring
We replace smooth tile or slick surfaces with slip-resistant flooring in bathrooms, kitchens and entryways. We also add anti-slip treatments or strips to existing surfaces where a full replacement is not needed.
Door and Passage Widening
We install offset hinges to gain clear passage width for walkers and wheelchairs without moving walls. Where more width is needed, we can widen doorways or convert standard doors to pocket doors to remove swing hazards.
Lighting, Faucets and Fixtures
We install motion-sensor lighting in hallways, bathrooms and exterior paths so dark areas are lit automatically. We also replace standard faucets with motion-sensor or lever-handle models and add anti-scald devices to protect sensitive skin.
Careful Work in Occupied Homes
Signs it is time
Signs the Home Could Use Some Attention
Steps at Every Entry Door
If getting in and out of the house requires stepping up or down without a rail, that is a fall risk that is straightforward to address with a handrail or a ramp.
A Standard Step-In Shower or Tub
Stepping over a tub wall or shower threshold is one of the most common causes of bathroom falls. A walk-in or zero-threshold shower removes the obstacle entirely.
No Support Near the Toilet or Shower
If there is nothing to hold onto when sitting down or standing up, a well-placed grab bar makes an immediate difference. It is a small change that reduces risk every day.
Narrow Doorways or Heavy Door Swings
A walker or wheelchair needs clear passage. Doors that swing into small rooms or openings that are too narrow to pass through easily are worth fixing before they become a problem.

Call (512) 690-0505 or send the quote form with a short description and a few photos. Our office calls you back to set up a time.
- 02
Walk-Through and Quote
We visit the home and go through each area where modifications are needed. We listen to what the homeowner or family has noticed, look at the specific spots, and prepare a written quote before any work begins.
- 03

Installation and Walkthrough
Our craftsman completes the work, cleans up the area, and walks through the finished modifications with you before leaving. We answer any questions about how to use new fixtures or hardware.
- 05
Guaranteed in writing
A background-checked craftsman does the work and cleans up. Our workmanship is guaranteed for one year from the invoice date, and if a defect in our work shows up in that time we repair it free of charge.
Materials
Materials Used in Aging in Place Work
Grab Bars and Rails
We use bars and rails rated to hold significant weight, available in stainless steel, brushed nickel and other finishes that work with the existing bathroom. The finish is your choice; the structural requirement is ours.
Ramp Decking and Hardware
Ramps are built with pressure-treated lumber or composite decking suited to Central Texas weather, with galvanized or stainless hardware that will not corrode from humidity and summer heat cycles.
Slip-Resistant Flooring and Tile
We work with slip-resistant ceramic and porcelain tile, vinyl plank with textured finishes, and other flooring products appropriate to wet areas. We can also source products through our suppliers or install materials you provide.
Cost
What affects the cost of aging in place work
Number and Type of Modifications
A single grab bar installation is a short job. A bathroom conversion that includes a zero-threshold shower, slip-resistant tile, a shower seat and new fixtures is a larger project. The scope of work is the biggest factor in cost.
Existing Construction
If studs or blocking are already in the right location, anchoring is straightforward. If blocking needs to be added behind drywall to support a grab bar, that adds time. The condition and layout of existing construction affects how long each item takes.
Materials Selected
Grab bar finish, ramp materials, tile selection and fixture models all vary in price. We work with a range of products and let you know what each option costs before the work starts.
Access and Site Conditions
A ramp installed at a single step at grade is simpler than one that needs to span several risers or navigate a turn. Tight bathroom layouts or unusual subfloor conditions can also affect the time required.
