General Modernizer specializes in aging-in-place bathroom renovations for seniors throughout Nassau County, NY. We design and install modifications that allow seniors to bathe safely and independently without the fall risk of a standard bathroom.
The most important aging-in-place bathroom modifications in order of fall-prevention impact: (1) Curbless walk-in shower — eliminates the step-over hazard of a tub or curbed shower. (2) Structural grab bars — installed into wall studs, rated for 250+ lbs. (3) Non-slip flooring with DCOF 0.42+ rating. (4) Comfort-height toilet (17-19 inches). (5) Handheld showerhead on a slide bar. (6) Adequate lighting — seniors require 3x more light than younger adults.
Aging-in-place bathroom renovation costs range from $3,500 for grab bar installation and non-slip flooring to $18,000+ for a full curbless shower conversion with all safety features.
We are experienced with Nassau County and NYC permit requirements for accessibility modifications. All work is performed by licensed contractors. License #0834088-DCA. Call (516) 968-4445.
