Getting older shouldn't mean giving up the home you love. Most accidents at home happen over small things — a missing handrail, a dark hallway, a tub with nothing to hold onto. I fix those things. Small, affordable safety upgrades that let you — or your parents — live comfortably and confidently at home.
• Grab bars in showers, tubs, and beside toilets — placed exactly where your hand naturally reaches
• Sturdy handrails on indoor stairs and outdoor steps
• Step repairs and non-slip treads
• Lever-style door handles — easier on arthritic hands than round knobs
• Better lighting where it matters: hallways, bathrooms, entryways, plus motion-sensor options
• Smoke and carbon monoxide detector checks and replacement
• Trip-hazard fixes: loose rugs, cords across walkways, uneven thresholds
• The everyday stuff that gets harder with age: stiff doors, hard-to-reach light bulbs, sticky windows
Most of these are quick jobs — many done in an hour or two — billed at my standard handyman rate. And seniors get an extra free hour every month on any service agreement.
Call or text (505) 806-2559 — I'll come take a look and tell you honestly what your home needs.
