What is the first accessibility change to make in an older Emmett bathroom?

Usually removing the step-over tub. Replacing it with a low-threshold or curbless shower, a seat and a handheld shower removes the maneuver most likely to cause a slip.

Can grab bars be added to an older Emmett bathroom wall?

Yes, when they are anchored into solid blocking or framing rather than drywall or plaster alone. During a remodel, blocking goes in while the wall is open so bars can be placed exactly where they are needed.

Accessible Bathrooms for Emmett homes

About three in ten Emmett households include someone 65 or older in Census 2020–2024 estimates, and Emmett's homes are the oldest of the Treasure Valley cities on this site, with a median build year of 1977. Accessible remodels here therefore tend to combine safety features with catching up on an older room: replacing a tub with a low-threshold shower, adding blocking for grab bars inside walls that are open anyway, checking door width, and correcting older plumbing along the way.

Honest pricing, no guesswork
