Safety & Accessibility

          

Making Your Home Safer & More Accessible!

A safe and accessible home makes living at home better for everyone!

People change and so does the way they live in their homes.  Adapting the home so that you or your loved ones remain safe and can access the things you need is an important part of the work we do. 


There are many ways to make a home safer and more accessible from the simple such as tacking down carpets, to the more complex such as installing a chair lift or elevator.  In between there are hundreds of useful changes that can be made that cost very little but make a big difference.  These include but are certainly not limited to:

                     

  • Renovations to allow a first floor occupancy and avoid stairs.

  • Installing bars throughout the bathroom to avoid slips and falls.

  • Installing double banisters on stairways and handrails in corridors.

  • Lowering shelves and countertops to provide easier access.

  • Step in tubs and a hand-held shower on an adjustable rod or high-low mounting brackets.

  • Pull-out shelves under counter to enable work from a seated position.

  • Door expansion to allow wheelchair and walker access.

  • Toilet risers to make it easier to get on and off the seat.

  • Remodeling of rooms for greater mobility in the room.

  • Wheelchair ramps, stair/wheelchair lifts and even elevators.

  • Light switches and electrical outlets placed in accessible locations. Or even motion activated lighting to make it easier to turn on and off.

  • Lever handles on doors and taps, instead of knobs.

  • Hands-free taps or even re-locating taps to provider easier or greater access.

  • Touch-and-release drawers and cupboards.

  • Door locks that are easier to operate.

Wow, it looks so safe!

Wow, it looks so safe compared to what we were dealing with before! Thank you very much for all your hard work, Tim. Very much appreciated. It looks great (saw it yesterday) and my dad was saying how friendly you are and willing to accommodate his requests.

You are truly a God!

Double handrails into the basement to make laundry a lot easier and safer!

Thank you!  My Mom really likes the handrails.

It’s still dry! Thank you!

It’s still dry! Tim replaced my kitchen faucet and adjusted my backyard light. He was fast, efficient, courteous and enjoyable company while he tinkered under the kitchen sink. I would recommend his services to anyone needing household repairs, large or small.

It’s great to have a reliable handyman like Tim!

When I have “house” issues, I call Tim first to see what he thinks. He very calmly goes over the problem I’m having and then we discuss whether it’s urgent or something that can wait until I have other repairs to make. HSS has done a lot of jobs around my home, inside and out, always to my complete satisfaction. It’s great to have a reliable handyman like Tim!

Cindy R.

Honest, organized and punctual.

We installed several black and white GFCI outlets for this customer as well as fixed doors, kickplates, holes in wall, etc.

It was a delight to work with Tim. Very honest, organized and punctual and he went the extra mile to get the jobs done properly!  Would recommend him to all my family, friends and clients!
