Your bathroom should support how you live — not limit it. Curbless entry, grab bars anchored in blocking, and slip-resistant tile — built for aging in place, post-surgery recovery, and wheelchair access. Price locked in writing before we touch a wall.
Accessible showers are not one-size-fits-all. We build for three distinct situations — each requiring a different configuration, material system, and compliance level.
You want to stay in your home — not move to a facility. The tub you have used for 30 years is now a safety risk every single morning.
A properly built accessible shower changes that equation completely. Zero-threshold entry, grab bars in blocking, non-slip tile, a built-in bench. Not as an afterthought — designed for daily independence from the first day.
Most of our aging-in-place customers tell us the same thing: they wish they had done it three years earlier, before the first fall.
Surgery is scheduled. You need a safe shower setup before you come home — not after a fall teaches you that the old one wasn't workable.
The Comfort Access tier is the most common choice for post-surgical recovery: curbless base, fold-down bench, handheld on a slide bar, brushed nickel. Functional on Day 3 of the build.
If your OT has a written placement plan for your grab bars, we build to it exactly. No extra charge, no renegotiation.
A standard shower remodel built by someone who has never read ANSI A117.1 is not a safe shower — it is a liability risk with new tile.
The ADA Complete and Medical Grade tiers are designed around actual compliance: 60"×30" clear space, 36"+ entry width, controls at 48" AFF, dual grab rail systems anchored in blocking rated to 250 lbs.
We work with your occupational therapist or physiatrist. If they have a written layout, we build it exactly. If they don't, we design to ANSI A117.1 and have them review before install.
You are not doing this for yourself. You are doing it because your parent's bathroom is an accident waiting to happen — and you want to fix it before it becomes a 911 call.
Most family-driven projects come to us in one of two modes: proactive planning (parent is stable, you want it done right before a problem) or emergency response (there has already been a fall, you need it done now).
Either way, the process is the same: free in-home visit, scope locked in writing, install complete in 2–5 days. If you want to coordinate with your parent's OT, we build to their plan. No extra charge, no renegotiation.
Every tier uses grab bars anchored in solid blocking, curbless entry, and ANSI A117.1-referenced dimensions. What changes is the material system, bench configuration, tile spec, and fixture package.

Every accessible shower we build references ANSI A117.1 — the standard behind ADA residential accessibility. Here is what that means in practice on your project.
This is the complete installation process — documented here so you and your care team know exactly what happens in your home, in what order, and why each step matters for long-term safety.
An accessible shower is used more frequently and more intensely than a standard one — seated users, handheld spray at all angles, and zero-threshold entry all increase water exposure. We waterproof accordingly.
The grab bar at the hardware store costs $18. The blocking it needs to mean anything costs about $400 in labor. Here's what an honest accessible shower build actually looks like — materials, labor, and timeline.
Most homeowners hear "ADA compliant" and assume it's a single standard. It's not. Here's the difference between ADA, ANSI A117.1, and what actually matters when building a safe accessible shower in a residential home.
Your OT knows exactly where the grab bars need to go. We build exactly where they specify. Here's how a Showerly accessible shower project works when an OT is part of the care team.
We visit your home, review your mobility needs and any OT documentation, measure the space, and hand you a written locked price in 60 minutes. Grab bars pull-tested and documented. Most accessible shower installs complete within one to two weeks of booking.
