What types of adaptive living renovations do you specialize in?
At Ridgestone Homes, we specialize in a wide range of adaptive living and accessibility renovations. Our services include custom wheelchair ramps, widened doorways, barrier-free showers with grab bars and non-slip flooring, lowered countertops for wheelchair access, and stair lifts or elevators for multi-story homes. We also install handrails and grab bars strategically throughout the home to enhance safety and functionality, ensuring that your home becomes more accessible, comfortable, and safe for you or your loved ones.
How do you ensure that the renovation will meet my specific accessibility needs?
We take a personalized approach to every project. First, we conduct a thorough consultation to understand your specific needs and goals. Whether it’s accommodating a wheelchair, supporting aging in place, or enhancing mobility for a disability, we listen carefully to your requirements. Our design team works closely with you to create a custom plan that ensures the space is not only functional but also tailored to your preferences. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and make adjustments as necessary to guarantee the end result meets your expectations.
How long will the adaptive living renovation process take?
The timeline for an adaptive living renovation depends on the complexity and scope of the project. Typically, smaller modifications like installing grab bars or widening doorways can be completed in a few days, while larger renovations such as adding stair lifts, remodeling bathrooms, or installing elevators may take several weeks. We provide clear timelines upfront, and our team works diligently to complete the renovation on time while maintaining high-quality standards. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your daily life while making your home safer and more accessible.
Will my home’s value be affected by these renovations?
Adaptive living renovations can actually enhance the value of your home. Many of the modifications we make, such as widening doorways, installing accessible bathrooms, and adding elevators or ramps, increase the functionality and appeal of your home for future buyers, especially as the population ages. These improvements can make your home more desirable to a broader range of potential buyers, including those looking for accessible features. Additionally, aging-in-place features can help future-proof your home, making it a lasting investment.
Are there any financial or government programs in Canada that can help with the cost of adaptive living renovations?
Yes, there are several programs and grants available in Canada to assist with the cost of adaptive living renovations. For example, the Home Adaptations for Seniors’ Independence (HASI) program offers financial assistance to low-income seniors to make necessary home modifications for better mobility and safety. Additionally, some provinces may have specific programs or rebates for home accessibility upgrades, such as those provided through The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Furthermore, some municipalities offer funding or tax rebates for home renovations that improve accessibility. Our team at Ridgestone Homes can help you explore these options and guide you through the process of applying for funding or financial support.
