Accessibility services in Sterling Heights
- Home elevators: Residential elevators for two- and three-story homes, for families who want a long-term alternative to stairs.
- Stairlifts: Straight and curved stair chair lifts that let you keep using every floor of your home without climbing the stairs.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What we see most in Sterling Heights
Home elevators and stairlifts are the top requests we see from Sterling Heights. If the stairs in your home have become hard to manage, a stairlift is usually the quickest and most affordable fix. If you are planning for the long term, or someone in the home uses a wheelchair, a residential elevator gives full access to every floor. We’ll look at both options during the same visit so you can compare cost, space and timing side by side. For the front entry, we measure the steps and the yard and recommend either a modular ramp or a platform lift.
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.
