Accessible Remodeling with an Open Concept
Open concept designs are ideal for aging in place. Wide hallways, fewer thresholds, and open spaces allow wheelchairs and walkers to navigate and turn around. Our team can also install customized ceiling lift track systems throughout your home, making it easier to navigate from room to room.
If your home has living areas on different levels, our universal design contractors can reconfigure your floor plan to suit your needs. Having access to a laundry room, bedroom, living room, and full bathroom on the main level can dramatically improve your home’s accessibility.
You can trust the team at James Barton Design-Build to make your home easier and safer to navigate, no matter your mobility.

Accessible Remodeling in the Kitchen
A kitchen is often the heart of a home. Minor adjustments can bring major accessibility to this beloved space, such as new appliances that are easier to access. However, you may also want to consider new cabinets and countertops to make your kitchen even more accessible.
Reduced-height countertops and a counter-height microwave provide easier access from a wheelchair. A roll-under sink can also make the kitchen easier to navigate. You may also enjoy having glass-front cabinets and pull-down shelves to make frequently-used items visible and within reach.
Accommodations like these can blend with the rest of your home design when you work with the JBDB design team. We work hard to ensure your new kitchen provides effortless access while remaining the perfect gathering place you always envisioned.
