Common Safety Upgrade Installations
Grab bars are the most requested safety upgrade. We install them in showers, tub surrounds, and next to toilets. Proper installation requires blocking or heavy-duty toggle bolts rated for the bar weight. A grab bar installed into drywall alone without proper anchors is a safety risk — we ensure every bar can support 300+ pounds.
Handrail replacement and reinforcement is common in older Salt Lake County homes where original railings are loose or do not meet current code. We replace undersized railings with code-compliant handrails that extend the full length of the stairs and provide secure grip.
Threshold reduction and door hardware upgrades improve access for wheelchair users and reduce trip hazards. We install ramps, widen doorways, and replace doorknobs with lever handles that are easier to operate.
