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.

Yes. We work throughout Stouffville, including Stouffville, Ballantrae and Musselman's Lake. Call +1 (647) 718-3913 to arrange a visit.

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

Accessible Home Renovation in Stouffville

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 Stouffville, there is an older village core, newer subdivisions around it and rural properties beyond.
