Project type - Bathroom

Tub to curbless walk-in shower

Location
Ranch home, South Austin
Timeline
4 build days
Type
Accessible bathroom conversion

Scope: Tub-to-curbless-shower conversion, comfort-height toilet, grab bars into blocking

Same bathroom after conversion to a curbless walk-in shower with grab bars, fold-down seat and comfort-height toilet

BeforeAfter

A high step-over fiberglass tub became a zero-threshold shower with a fold-down seat, a handheld wand, and grab bars anchored into solid blocking, not just drywall anchors. Same footprint, no addition.

Project type - Entry

Front steps to a gentle ramped entry

Location
Limestone ranch, Northwest Hills
Timeline
2 build days
Type
Entry ramp and zero-step access

Scope: Steps replaced with a gentle concrete ramp, continuous handrails both sides

BeforeAfter

Three tall steps, no railing, and a slick landing after rain became a 1:12-slope concrete ramp with continuous bronze handrails. The limestone facade and door stay, the approach just works for wheelchairs, walkers and strollers alike.

Project type - Whole-home details

Narrow dark hallway to a bright, wide route

Location
Single-story home, Round Rock
Timeline
1 build day
Type
Doorways, hardware and lighting

Scope: Doorways widened to 34 inches, lever handles throughout, sconces and night lighting

Same hallway after doorways were widened, lever handles installed and warm sconce lighting added

BeforeAfter

Round knobs, tight doorways and one dim ceiling fixture became 34-inch clear openings, lever handles you can open with an elbow, warm sconce lighting and motion night lights near the floor. The highest-impact day of work most homes can buy.

Where we do this work

Austin's housing stock splits into two camps for accessibility work: 1970s-80s slab ranch homes with narrow halls and tub-shower combos, and older central bungalows with pier-and-beam floors and stepped entries. We have quoted both, across every service area below.
