Aging in Place Remodeling That Looks as Good as It Functions

Most people assume that accessible design means compromising on beauty, but it doesn't have to. Aging in place remodeling, done right, is thoughtful design. It means curbless showers that feel like a luxury spa, wider doorways that open up a room, and first-floor layouts that make daily living effortless.

As your universal design contractor, Jim Martin Design brings the same high-end craftsmanship and personalized service to accessibility-focused projects that we bring to every remodel we touch. This is your home. It should reflect your lifestyle, not your limitations.

Aging in Place Home Modifications We Specialize In

Every home is different. So is every homeowner's vision. Here are the aging in place home modifications we most commonly design and build:

Aging in Place Bathroom Remodel

Curbless showers, comfort-height vanities, and grab bars that blend seamlessly into your tile design, not bolted on as an afterthought. Every detail is finished with premium fixtures from Kohler, Grohe, or Toto and non-slip surfaces from Daltile or Cambria.

Aging in Place Kitchen Design

We redesign your kitchen around how you move and live, with lowered countertop sections, pull-out shelving, and soft-close custom cabinetry at accessible heights. Premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, and Thermador are integrated into a layout built around you.

First-Floor Living Conversions

We bring everything you need to one level, such as wider doorways, seamless flooring transitions using Duchateau or wide-plank hardwood, and improved lighting that keeps your home feeling warm, not institutional. In-home elevator solutions are available in partnership with Total Access Elevator.

We work on kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home interiors. Common projects include aging in place bathroom remodels with curbless showers and comfort-height vanities, aging in place kitchen design with accessible layouts and custom cabinetry, and first-floor living conversions that bring everything you need to one level.

Not at all. Many homeowners start with the space that matters most, often the primary bathroom or kitchen, and expand from there. We'll help you think through what makes the most sense for your lifestyle and your timeline, without pressure to do more than you're ready for.

We don't provide itemized line-item pricing. Instead, you receive a single contract price supported by a detailed scope of work, so you know exactly what's included. No guesswork, no surprise invoices — just a clear agreement before construction ever begins.

Every project is different depending on the scope. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific space and goals. What we can promise is that you'll always know where your project stands, and we’ll stay in direct communication with you throughout the entire process.
