Accessibility Handyman Home Modifications
ADA-Compliant Accessibility Solutions Fit to Your Individual Needs
If you or someone you love is struggling to live comfortably at home due to age, an illness, or a disability, solutions are available to you that will allow you to stay right where you want. Most seniors and individuals living with disabilities prefer to continue living comfortably at home rather than moving. But too often they don’t know where to turn for answers on how to modify their homes for greater mobility, accessibility, and safety. Columbus Home Heroes has the solutions to help you or your loved one comfortably enjoy life at home.
We are a home modification and handyman company that uses universal design principles to provide customized home renovation services for people who can no longer live in their home as it’s currently designed. We also install the necessary equipment and devices designed to create a comfortable and independent living environment. Our team of craftsmen will work closely with you to fully understand your needs and challenges and then customize an ADA-compliant solution.
Three Steps to an Accessible and Safe Home
The Columbus Home Heroes approach ensures each client’s unique needs and budget requirements are always met. We’ve broken down this assessment into three steps:
The journey to a safe and accessible home begins with our in-home assessment, a thorough walk-through of your, or your loved one’s, home to evaluate what will be required to create a safe and secure environment based on your unique needs. We focus on three primary areas:
- Mobility inside and outside the house.
- Access to daily needs and hygiene.
- Safety is the top priority in all modifications.
Once we have completed our evaluation, we will explain our approach to your project along with any other renovation or equipment recommendations we may have. We will also review the proper and safe use and upkeep of the modification and equipment. We will work with you and your loved one on our timeline and the budget, discussing all financing options available as needed. Our goal is to make sure the project meets your budget and your timing requirements.
Upon your approval, the Columbus Home Heroes craftsmen will begin, making sure you are satisfied every step of the way. We understand that oftentimes the need to modify a home is immediate. Columbus Home Heroes is prepared to act fast and efficiently to create a safe, accessible, and barrier-free living environment.

When to Begin the Home Modification Process
The best time to start thinking about aging in place and home modifications is long before the need actually arises—which can happen suddenly and urgently. Ideally, people who are confident that they’re living in their “forever home” should factor their long-term care plans into their routine home improvements and repairs.
For example, grab bars are a common addition in seniors’ homes. A homeowner who is updating their bathroom would be wise to ensure there are strong studs or other supports in the right spots for future grab bar installations—even if they don’t want or need them yet. It might also be worth considering replacing a traditional shower/tub with a curbless shower design.
Thinking ahead during renovations and remodels can save headaches, time, and money in the long run. It also allows homeowners to carefully plan and budget for the updates they want now and the modifications they’re likely to need in the future.
