“Drew is great! This is the second time I’ve hired him and he is easy going, professional and friendly! He is a perfectionist too so Virgos, you’ll be very satisfied with his attention to detail!!”Pam P. · July 10, 2025
Practical changes. A home that still feels like yours.
Aging-in-place work is usually a collection of modest improvements: a properly placed grab bar, better lighting, a stable handrail, easier-to-use hardware, or a small repair that removes a daily frustration. We can start with one room or make a plan for the whole home.
Common spaces
Handrails, lighting, furniture adjustments, shelves, and clear pathways that make the rooms you use every day easier to navigate.
Details that work better
Lever handles, securely mounted hardware, switches, doorbells, and small fixes can remove a surprising amount of friction from daily routines.
Safe entry and access
Exterior lighting, rails, thresholds, and other entry improvements help make arriving home simpler and more secure.
Home-safety improvements I can help with
- Grab bars, shower seats, and handheld showerheads
- Handrails, stair rails, and securely mounted supports
- Lever door handles, faucet handles, and accessible cabinet hardware
- Brighter task lighting, night lights, and easy-to-reach switches
- Threshold adjustments, weatherstripping, and minor door repairs
- Shelves, hooks, seating, and small changes tailored to the room
Trusted for thoughtful home repairs
“We had a small job for an experienced handyperson—installing a roll-up shade screen. Drew was communicative, respectful, punctual, and maintained open communication while completing the work. He was willing to wear a mask when entering our apartment and brought his own N95. I'd highly recommend him and have added him to my favorite taskers.”Teresa C. · April 6, 2025
“Drew was great! He communicated well, arrived on time, got the job done in half the time of what I was expecting. Super great guy and I will be hiring him again!”Janice H. · January 3, 2025
A straightforward way to plan the work
01 · Start with the room
Send a few photos and explain what feels difficult, unsafe, or inconvenient.
02 · Discuss options
I’ll help identify practical improvements that suit the wall, layout, and budget.
03 · Install carefully
Hardware is placed deliberately and secured using the right approach for the surface.
04 · Check the result
We make sure the finished improvement feels solid, useful, and comfortable to use.
Simple hourly pricing
Standard home-safety improvements are billed at $60 per hour, plus any specialty hardware or materials. Send photos before booking and I’ll help you estimate the time and decide what makes sense to tackle first.
Common questions
Can you install grab bars in tile or fiberglass?
Yes. The installation method depends on the surface and wall construction. I assess the location and use an appropriate mounting approach rather than treating every wall the same way.
Can you help choose where grab bars or rails should go?
Yes. We can talk through how the room is used and place the hardware where it will be most helpful. For a clinical or therapeutic plan, I can also implement the recommendations of an occupational therapist or care provider.
Can we bundle several small improvements into one visit?
Absolutely. A room-by-room list is usually the most efficient way to complete several practical upgrades in a single visit.
Do the changes have to look institutional?
No. Many grab bars, handles, fixtures, and lighting options are available in finishes and styles that blend into an existing home.
Want to make a home easier to live in?
Send a few photos and a list of concerns. I’ll help you make a practical, respectful plan for the space.
