Professional Grab Bar Installation
Grab bars are the most cost-effective safety modification you can add to any home. Yet only 8% of U.S. homes have grab bars installed, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard. Don't be part of the 92% still at risk.
Where We Install Grab Bars
Next to the toilet — for safe sitting and standing
Inside the shower/tub — vertical and angled bars for stability
At the shower entrance — for safe entry and exit
Along hallways — for balance support between rooms
At stairways — supplemental support beyond standard railings
Near beds — for safe transfers in and out of bed
Why Professional Installation Matters
A grab bar is only as strong as its mounting. We never use drywall anchors alone — every bar is mounted into wall studs or structural blocking rated to hold 250+ pounds of force, meeting ADA standards. Improperly mounted grab bars can rip out of the wall mid-use, turning a safety device into a hazard.
Types of Grab Bars We Offer
Straight bars — 12", 18", 24", 36", and 42" lengths
Angled bars — ideal for tub and shower areas
Fold-down bars — space-saving options for smaller bathrooms
Decorative finishes — chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black
Stat: According to the National Council on Aging, falls are the leading cause of fatal injury among older Americans. A few well-placed grab bars can prevent a hip fracture — and the long recovery that comes with it.
