Aging in Place Remodeling in Kitchener

The vast majority of individuals approaching retirement age would prefer to stay in their current house rather than move to a retirement community. However, a few things, such as the appropriateness of a home’s layout and routine maintenance and repairs, can stand in the way of those goals. Luckily, many of them can be mitigated. Handyman Connection offers home repairs for seniors that help them age in place safely and successfully.

Home Modifications That Increase Accessibility

As you age, your mobility and balance can decrease. As a result, your home may need modifications to make it safer and more accessible. Handyman Connection offers home repairs for seniors that range from installing minor assistance devices to major renovations. We take pride in the quality of our work and the high level of customer service provided by all of our professional tradespeople. Here are some of the ways our contractors can help you stay safe as you age in place.

Increasing Bathroom Safety

The bathroom is one of the most dangerous areas of the home for many older adults. Let handyman Connections provide repair services in Kitchener to make yours safer. Here are just a few of the many bathroom safety features our craftsmen can install:
  • Grab bars
  • Non-slip flooring
  • Walk-through tubs
  • Roll-in showers
  • Shower and bath transfer seats
  • Wider doors
  • Anti-scald devices

Making the Kitchen Easier to Use

Kitchens are the heart of the home, but if you can’t safely access the cabinets, they can quickly become a source of frustration or — worse — increased fall risk. Our tradespeople provide expert modifications that can help improve your kitchen’s functionality as you age in place. Altering the counter height, designing wheelchair-accessible work surfaces and installing pull-out draws can be effective solutions for many people. Motion-activated faucets and lighting make food prep and cleanup even easier.

Conquering Stairs

Stairs are one of the biggest obstacles to staying in your home. For entryways, ramps can be a practical solution. They eliminate the need for going up and down potentially treacherous exterior stairs. You may also need to contend with interior stairs that access bedrooms or living areas in multi-story homes. Chair Lifts provide mechanized assistance so you can ride up and down in seated comfort.

Routine Home Repairs for Seniors

The normal maintenance that a house requires may be easy to accomplish when you are young, strong and full of energy. However, as you get older, some of those tasks can become much more difficult. That is where Handyman Connection comes in. We can connect you with professionals who perform a wide variety of repair and maintenance tasks, including:
  • Painting interior walls and trim
  • Hanging televisions, shelves and window treatments
  • Cleaning gutters, windows and exterior siding
  • Changing batteries in smoke detectors and other safety devices
  • Installing doorbell cameras and deadbolts
When you call Handyman Connection, you will get professional results. You can rest assured that our expert tradespeople know how to do home repairs correctly, so you won’t have to worry about shoddy work.
