Functional Walk
We walk the existing bath with the homeowner (and OT/caregiver if requested), identifying mobility challenges and priorities.
ADA & Aging-in-Place Bathrooms
Walk-in showers, grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and roll-under vanities. Universal design that ages with you — without looking like a hospital.
OVERVIEW
Schlickmann Construction designs and builds ADA-compliant and aging-in-place bathrooms across Massachusetts. Walk-in showers, grab bar reinforcement, slip-resistant tile, and roll-under vanities — all with finishes that look custom, not clinical.
Aging-in-place doesn't have to mean sacrificing aesthetics. Our ADA bathrooms use universal design — features that work for someone using a wheelchair AND look beautiful for everyone else. Linear drains in zero-threshold showers, trim-mounted grab bars that double as shelves, and concealed reinforcement that adds future grab-bar capacity without showing today.
We coordinate with occupational therapists when requested, follow ADA-2010 dimensional standards, and use products from Bobrick, Moen Home Care, and KOHLER's accessibility lines that are tested for institutional and residential use.

Sometimes. Massachusetts has the HOME Modification Loan Program (0% interest, deferred payment) for income-qualifying homeowners. VA Home Improvement Grants cover veterans. Some health insurance and long-term care policies cover bathroom modifications when prescribed.
Yes — we install grab bars, comfort-height toilets, hand-held showers, and slip-resistant tile as standalone projects ($1,500–$6,000) without doing a full remodel. We use stud-finder analysis or open small access points to ensure proper anchoring.
Yes. When the homeowner has an OT, we coordinate the design directly with them — confirming clearances, transfer paths, fixture heights, and equipment specs. OT-coordinated bathrooms are standard for aging-in-place projects with documented mobility needs.
