For many, bathrooms can be the most hazardous room in the house. Slippery floors and walls with limited options for holding on to create a space in which homeowners often do not feel safe. At Hometown Contractors, Inc., our mission is customer-driven, which is why we emphasize the importance of safety-first bathroom upgrades.
Hometown offers a range of accessibility additions and remodeling options for homeowners looking to increase the safety of their bathrooms. From smaller additions to total conversions, we’ll help you decide what works best for your needs.
While bathtubs are loved by many homeowners for their relaxing nature, tubs can often create a major hazard for just about anyone, no matter your age or mobility level. One of our most popular bathroom remodeling services is tub-to-shower conversions, which replaces your tub with a more accessible shower. For those who like the seated aspect of tubs, we also provide seat options for your new shower, such as a fold-down seat or bench.
2. Walk-in Tubs
A more common upgrade for seniors or those with limited mobility, walk-in tubs feature low thresholds, built-in seating, and fast drain technology for the ultimate accessible experience. Walk-in tubs reduce the risk of slips and falls significantly, creating a safer space for those who need some additional assistance in the bathroom. Hydrotherapy jets are also an option with our walk-in tubs and highly recommended by past clients.
3. Grab Bars
Some homeowners looking to increase their bathrooms’ accessibility and safety often look for smaller additions in their remodeling projects. While entire conversions suit some of our clients, others need simpler elements that make a big difference, such as grab bars. With customizable grab bars from Hometown Contractors, you’ll be increasing safety measures with chic, elegant additions. Our grab bars, designed to match the style of your bathroom, provide you with a handle to grip during your shower and in the event of a slip.
4. Bench or Fold-Down Seats
The inclusion of a seat for your shower conversion or replacement is a fantastic idea to boost the accessibility level of your bathroom. Our seats are also customizable, featuring options like seat style and color. Bench seats are permanent fixtures that do not fold up and down but are a great option for sturdiness and color matching. Fold-down seats are a more convenient choice for many homeowners and provide more space when needed by folding the seat up against the wall.
5. Slip-Resistant Pans
Wet floors and steamy environments elevate the likelihood of slips and potential injuries. The shower pans we use for our shower remodels are intentionally designed to minimize the risk of falls with slip-resistant material. We also provide color options for the pans—go with a designated color or match the pan to your new shower walls!
