Aging in Place Remodeling
Safe, comfortable home modifications that help you or your loved ones live independently at home for years to come.
Stay Home Safely with Accessibility Remodeling
According to AARP, nearly 90% of adults age 65 and older want to remain in their current home as they age. But most homes were not built with accessibility in mind. A single step at the front door, a narrow bathroom doorway, or a bathtub with a high wall can turn a familiar home into a daily hazard.
Altieri & Sons Construction has been remodeling homes in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Chester County since 1976. We understand how to modify a home for safety and comfort without making it feel like an institution. Every modification we install is designed to be functional, attractive, and to blend with your existing home.
Whether you need a single grab bar in the shower or a full accessible bathroom conversion with a curbless shower, comfort-height toilet, and wider doorways, we handle every step. We also work with families planning ahead, because the best time to make these modifications is before they become urgent.
Accessible Bathroom Modifications
The bathroom is the most dangerous room in the home for falls. These modifications reduce fall risk while maintaining a comfortable, attractive bathroom.
Curbless Showers
Zero-threshold shower entries that eliminate the step-over barrier. Properly sloped floors and linear drains keep water contained without a curb.
Grab Bars
Structural grab bars mounted to wall studs or blocking in showers, beside toilets, and at tub entries. Decorative finishes that coordinate with your fixtures.
Comfort-Height Toilets
ADA-height toilets (17-19 inches) that reduce the strain of sitting and standing. Easier for people with knee, hip, or mobility limitations.
Non-Slip Tile
Textured porcelain and ceramic floor tile with high coefficient-of-friction ratings specifically chosen for wet bathroom environments.
Handheld Showerheads
Adjustable-height slide bar showerheads that work for standing or seated showering. Includes a fixed head option for dual use.
Wider Doorways
Bathroom doorways widened to 32-36 inches for wheelchair and walker access. Includes swing-clear hinges that add 2 inches without reframing.
Kitchen Accessibility Upgrades
Pull-Out Shelves
Retrofit existing cabinets with full-extension pull-out shelves that eliminate reaching into deep cabinet spaces. Reduces bending and strain.
Lever-Style Hardware
Replace round knobs with lever handles on doors, faucets, and cabinets. Easier to operate for people with arthritis or limited grip strength.
Lowered Countertops
Work surfaces at multiple heights including a 30-34 inch seated-use section for wheelchair users or those who prefer to work sitting down.
Task Lighting
Under-cabinet LED lighting, motion-activated night lights, and illuminated switches that improve visibility and reduce fall risk in the kitchen.
Safe Entry & Navigation
Wheelchair Ramps
Code-compliant ramps built with proper slope (1:12 ratio), handrails, and non-slip surfaces. Wood, composite, and aluminum options that match your home exterior.
Wider Doorways
Interior and exterior doorways widened to 32-36 inches. We reframe the opening, install new trim, and match existing finishes so the modification blends in.
Stairlift Preparation
Electrical outlets, structural reinforcement, and wall blocking installed so a stairlift can be mounted without additional construction later.
First-Floor Bedroom
Convert a dining room, den, or office into a fully functional bedroom with closet, lighting, and proximity to a first-floor bathroom.
Threshold Modifications
Eliminate trip hazards at exterior doors, room transitions, and sliding door tracks with beveled thresholds, ramps, and flush transitions.
Handrails & Lighting
Continuous handrails on both sides of all stairways, motion-activated stairway lighting, and illuminated light switches throughout the home.
