FAQ
Let's answer a few questions you may have
General Questions
First, the tradespersons I
use are all licensed and insured. Second, I have
been involved in the property business for 8
years. In that time, I have used a lot of
different tradespeople. I have had enough time to
work with the best. Third we use the best
practices recommended by AARP – HomeFit, ACLA –
Aging Life Care Association and NAHB – National
Association of Home Builders – Aging in Place.
Fourth, we are trained by the NAHB with their
“NAHB's Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS)
qualification”.
Compare our “Areas to consider
changing” to those recommended by, you will
see we using best practices from:
- AARP-HomeFit
- ACLA - Aging Life Care Association
- NAHB-National Association of Home Builders - Aging in Place
We offer extremely
competitive rates, often cheaper than any other
Licensed and Insured, generalist tradespersons.
Despite the greater training and specialization.
Some jobs can involve a lot of money e.g., kitchen
and bathroom remodeling, but many good quality of
life issues can be addressed inexpensively, e.g.,
- Grab Bars / Handrails
- Raised Toilet Seats
- Non-Slip Strips
- Cutter Clearance
- Door Handles and Cabinet Handles
- Clearer Home Numbers
- Lever Faucet Installation
- Fire Safety, Extinguisher, Smoke / Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Rather than wasting time
quoting for jobs we might not get, we specialize
in a few areas. The tradespersons are very focused
and regularly do similar jobs, we are more
efficient. In addition, we want to be goto people
for other home related work, such as Home
Maintenance.
If you see a lower price
per hour than ours, I urge you to ask if they are
licensed and insured. Do they have specific
qualifications in home adaption?
