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 Newmarket?

Yes. We work throughout Newmarket, including Glenway, Stonehaven, Summerhill, Bristol-London and Historic Main Street. Call +1 (647) 718-3913 to arrange a visit.

Who issues the permit for this work in Newmarket?

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

Accessible Home Renovation in Newmarket

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 Newmarket, the housing ranges from century homes near Main Street to subdivisions built from the 1970s to the 2000s.
