As Florida’s population continues to age and the need for accessibility features grows, safety and accessibility remodeling have become essential home upgrades. Gage Nelson Handyman Service offers professional safety and accessibility services designed to improve the daily lives of residents while ensuring their homes are safe and compliant with local codes.
Whether you’re looking to install grab bars in your bathroom, improve lighting in hallways, or add wheelchair ramps at your entrance, our Florida handyman services make homes more accessible for everyone.
Florida is home to the largest population of residents aged 65+, with over 4.7 million people, making accessibility upgrades a growing priority for homeowners (AARP, 2022).
In Florida’s diverse communities, ensuring homes are both safe and accessible is vital. Whether for elderly homeowners, people with mobility impairments, or families with small children, creating a safe home environment helps to prevent accidents and improve independence. Safety features also reduce the risk of injury, while accessibility modifications ensure all individuals can move freely and comfortably throughout their home.

In Florida, certain homes and properties must adhere to ADA compliance. This includes public buildings, rental properties, and home remodels that serve the elderly or disabled. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandates the installation of features like widened doorways, accessible bathrooms, and ramps for wheelchair access. However, even if you’re not legally required to comply with the ADA, making these upgrades can significantly improve the safety and comfort of your home.
Florida’s building codes also require specific accessibility modifications in multi-unit residential buildings, and failure to comply could result in fines or penalties. Our team stays updated on the latest regulations, ensuring your home is fully ADA-compliant.
Learn more about ADA guidelines on the official ADA.gov.
