America’s older population is staying in their homes longer. Remodeling is a good option to customize their home to fit their needs and lifestyle. Kitchen, master bathroom and interior modifications are popular remodeling projects in our area. Adding a full bathroom to the main floor is one of the most desired projects. Widening doors, creating a curb less shower and adding grab bars helps make your home functional as you age. Multi-generational housing is on the rise. Creating flexible spaces makes homes more usable for both younger and older generations.
