Barrier Free Plus helps Livonia homeowners make their homes barrier-free with wheelchair ramps, walk-in tubs, roll-in showers, grab bars, stairlifts and platform lifts. Whether you are planning ahead or getting ready for a loved one coming home from the hospital, we design the change around the person who will use it.
Accessibility services in Livonia
- Accessible bathrooms, grab bars and walk-in tubs: Full or partial bathroom remodels with wider doorways, comfort-height toilets, properly anchored grab bars and walk-in tubs.
- Roll-in and barrier-free showers: Curbless showers with a low or no threshold, a seat, grab bars and a handheld spray, built in place of a tub or an old stall.
- Wheelchair and handicap ramps: Modular aluminum and steel ramps sized to your entry, with handrails and landings, so a wheelchair, walker or scooter can get in and out safely.
- Vertical platform lifts: Wheelchair platform lifts for porches, garages and split-level entries where a ramp would be too long or too steep.
- Stairlifts: Straight and curved stair chair lifts that let you keep using every floor of your home without climbing the stairs.
- Automatic door openers: Powered door openers for entry and interior doors, operated by push plate or remote.
What we see most in Livonia
Livonia homeowners most often contact us about barrier-free modifications in the bathroom and at the entry. A walk-in tub or a roll-in shower with a seat and grab bars can remove the biggest fall risk in the house. At the front or side door, we measure the rise and the space available and recommend a modular ramp or a vertical platform lift. Our team includes a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, so we can look at the whole home, not just one room.
How a project works
- Free quote visit. We come to the home, talk with you (and your therapist or case manager if you have one), and measure.
- A clear plan and price. You get a written quote with the product, layout and timeline.
- Permits where needed. Ramps, lifts, elevators and structural bathroom changes often need a permit from the local building department; we go over what your project needs before work starts.
- Installation. Our licensed and insured crew installs the work and shows you how to use and care for it.
Help paying for home modifications
Funding depends on your situation. Eligible veterans may qualify for VA home modification grants such as SAH, SHA and HISA; see our veterans information page. The Senior Alliance (Area Agency on Aging 1-C) serves Livonia and the rest of western and southern Wayne County. Some long-term care and waiver programs also cover home modifications, so ask your case manager what applies to you.
