General contractor in Winston-Salem, NC

Winston-Salem's in-town neighborhoods like Ardmore and West End hold a large share of early-to-mid-1900s housing stock. These homes were built with standard doorway widths of 28 to 30 inches, tub-only bathrooms, and raised thresholds at every entry. For a resident using a walker or wheelchair, those dimensions create daily barriers that a targeted remodel can remove without changing the character of the home.

Suburban communities like Clemmons and Lewisville present a different set of conditions. Homes here tend to be newer, with wider hallways and more open floor plans, but they still often lack the blocking in bathroom walls needed to support grab bars, and shower entries may have a curb that creates a trip hazard. Accessibility modifications in these homes are often lighter in scope but still require proper permit handling through Forsyth County's building inspection department.

Families in Winston-Salem often contact us when a parent or family member returns home after a hospital stay or a fall. The goal is to make the existing home work safely rather than relocate. We assess the bathroom, the entry points, and the path of travel through the home, then prioritize the modifications that reduce fall risk most directly. That focused approach means the work gets done in the right order and the home is safer as quickly as possible.
