Accessibility & Aging-in-Place Updates

We help homeowners make simple, thoughtful updates that improve safety, comfort, and everyday ease at home.

Small Changes That Make a Real Difference

Accessibility updates are not about turning your home into something unrecognizable. They are about removing daily obstacles and adding thoughtful improvements that quietly make life easier.

Whether you are planning ahead, adjusting after an injury, or helping a loved one stay independent, our handyman team approaches these projects with care, respect, and experience. The goal is always the same. Improve safety while preserving the character and comfort of your home.

Common Accessibility Updates We Handle

Our handyman team regularly helps with practical updates that make everyday living easier, including:

Grab bars installed at doorway in garage

Grab bar installation in showers, tubs, and near toilets
Safer shower access including curb adjustments and handheld showerheads
Comfort-height toilet installations
Door hardware updates such as lever handles
Improved lighting in hallways, stairs, and bathrooms
Handrail installation and reinforcement
Interior and exterior ramps for easier entry and exit
Railings along walkways, porches, and steps
Minor threshold or transition adjustments
Cabinet or storage modifications for easier reach

Some projects stand alone. Others are part of a larger update. Either way, our team approaches them with the same care, clear communication, and respect for your home that define every Schloegel project.

If your project grows beyond the scope of carpentry alone, we’ll talk through next steps honestly and help you decide the best path forward.

A Thoughtful Approach, Not a Checklist

Accessibility looks different for every household. That is why we start by listening. We take time to understand how the space is used, what feels challenging, and what matters most to you.

Our team shows up prepared, works carefully, and treats your home with respect. Many of our clients start with one small update and return later for additional improvements as needs change. We see that as a sign of trust, and we do not take it lightly.

When Handyman Services Are the Right Fit

Accessibility and aging-in-place updates are a good fit for our handyman team when the goal is to make a home safer and easier to live in, without jumping straight to a full-scale remodel.

This work is often the right solution when:
You want to reduce fall risks or improve day-to-day mobility
The updates are focused and practical, even if they involve structural changes
Permits or inspections may be required, and you want that handled properly
You need the work completed efficiently with minimal disruption
You value clear communication, respectful crews, and a clean job site

The Schloegel team fulfilled all of our expectations and more. Pete, Emily and Lester helped us design a bedroom for our special needs granddaughter here at our Lake of the Ozarks home. They went over and above to complete the job in a timely manner and within budget. Thank you Pete, Emily, Lester and Schloegel Design Remodel. We couldn’t be any happier.
