What is a curbless shower?

It is a shower with no step at the entry. The floor is sloped to the drain and fully waterproofed so a walker or wheelchair can roll straight in.

Can a main-floor bathroom be added to an older house?

In most cases, yes. It depends on finding space and a route to the drain. We look at this at the first visit.

Do you do accessible home renovation projects in Aurora?

Yes. We work throughout Aurora, including Aurora Village, Bayview Wellington, Aurora Highlands and Hills of St Andrew. Call +1 (647) 718-3913 to arrange a visit.

Who issues the permit for this work in Aurora?

Where a permit is needed, it is issued by the Town of Aurora's building division. We prepare the drawings and handle the application and inspections.

Accessible Home Renovation in Aurora

An accessible renovation lets someone stay in the home they know as their mobility changes. The best ones look like good design, not like equipment added afterwards. In Aurora, the town has a historic core of older homes surrounded by subdivisions from the 1980s onward.
