Bathrooms and showers can be some of the most hazardous areas in a home, especially for seniors or anyone with limited mobility. A single slip can lead to serious injuries. That’s why Gage Nelson Handyman Service provides professional grab bar installation services across Florida, making homes safer, more accessible, and comfortable for every age. Learn more about our handyman services and see how we can enhance your home’s safety.
We specialize in ADA-compliant grab bar installation, ensuring each fixture is installed securely into wall studs and at the correct height for maximum stability. Whether it’s for a shower, bathtub, or hallway, our experienced installers help homeowners achieve safety without sacrificing style.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four adults over age 65 experiences a fall each year, and over 60% of those falls happen at home, often in the bathroom. In Florida, where nearly 21% of residents are over 65, safety upgrades like grab bars are essential to maintaining independence and peace of mind (Florida Department of Elder Affairs).
Grab bars don’t just protect seniors; they benefit everyone. Families with young children, individuals recovering from surgery, and homeowners wanting extra balance in slippery areas can all benefit from proper grab bar placement.

Bathrooms are high-risk zones for slips and falls. We install durable, rust-resistant grab bars near toilets, tubs, and showers to provide secure handholds where you need them most.
We offer shower grab bars that combine safety with modern design. Installed at strategic angles, they provide stability for stepping in and out of the shower safely.
For homeowners who prefer soaking baths, we install horizontal and vertical grab bars for safe entry and exit. Non-slip and corrosion-resistant finishes ensure long-lasting performance.
Our installers locate wall studs to ensure every grab bar is mounted into solid framing for maximum strength. For tiled walls, we use specialized tile drill bits to prevent cracks and guarantee clean, precise installation.
Every home is unique. We design custom grab bar layouts that complement your bathroom’s design and accommodate your specific mobility requirements. From standard stainless steel bars to designer series, we have options to match any interior.
We make installation quick, professional, and mess-free. Here’s how our process works:

Florida’s senior population continues to grow rapidly; by 2030, one in four residents will be over age 65, according to the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. As more residents choose to age in place, grab bar installations are becoming a key feature in home safety planning.
In addition to reducing fall risk, grab bars also help homeowners stay independent longer, reducing the need for assisted living or costly medical care. It’s a small upgrade that brings long-term benefits for safety and confidence. You can also explore our service areas to see if we’re available in your neighborhood.
