Safer at home
Most of what makes a house hard to live in is small: a tub you have to climb over, stairs with no rail, a toilet that's too low. Fixing those usually takes a day or less. It's the kind of work I like doing.
Jobs I do
- Grab bars, anchored into the studs
- Tub-to-shower conversions with a low step or no curb
- Handheld showerheads and shower seats
- Taller comfort-height toilets
- Stair and hallway railings
- Lever door handles and faucet handles
- Brighter lighting in halls and bathrooms
- Wider or easier-to-open doors
Arranging this for a parent?
Adult children often call on behalf of a parent. That's fine. I'm glad to walk through the house with whoever is helping out: you, your parent, or both of you.
Recent work
Wet room in Orinda, with a bench and a linear drain. 
Master shower in Orinda: rain head, handheld on a slide bar, and a bench. 
Hall bathroom in Orinda: subway tile and a handheld shower. 
Tub with a glass panel and a handheld shower, El Sobrante.
Good to know
Can grab bars go in without redoing the tile?
Yes. I drill through the tile and anchor the bar into the framing behind it, so the bar holds when you lean on it.
I live in Rossmoor. Is there anything different?
Most changes in Rossmoor need an alteration permit from your mutual. Some need a Walnut Creek permit too. Start with your mutual. Once they've approved it, I'll work from what they signed off on.
Can you come look and suggest what would help?
Yes. Tell me what's getting hard, like the tub or the stairs. I'll come look and suggest what would help.
