Merry Christmas from BFA, LLC | Creating Safe and Accessible Homes in Michigan

This Christmas, BFA, LLC shares an important reminder: accessibility is never one-size-fits-all. Every client has unique needs, and every wheelchair-accessible home modification must be custom-designed to ensure safety, comfort, and independence throughout the holiday season and the year ahead.

Because Accessibility Is Never One-Size-Fits-All—Every Home and Every Client Is Unique

“Custom roll-in shower designed by BFA, LLC with barrier-free entry, personalized grab bar placement, and seat height tailored to the homeowner’s mobility needs.”

Roll-in showers must be tailored to each client—there is no one-size-fits-all layout.

“Custom wheelchair ramp and zero-step entry installed by BFA, LLC in Michigan, designed specifically for the homeowner’s mobility needs and property layout, demonstrating that accessibility solutions are never one-size-fits-all.”

Every ramp must be custom-built to match the home’s layout and the client’s mobility needs.

As we celebrate this Christmas season, we are reminded of the importance of home—where comfort, safety, and independence matter most. For many families in Michigan, the holidays make accessibility challenges more visible. Loved ones gather, routines change, and mobility limitations become clearer.

At BFA, LLC, our mission remains steady and sincere: to create safe, accessible, barrier-free homes that reflect the unique needs of every person we serve.
This season, we want to share an important truth about accessibility:

There is no cookie-cutter solution.
Every body is different.
Every home is different.
Every accessibility plan must be custom-designed.

Why Accessibility Is Never One-Size-Fits-All

“Wheelchair-accessible bathroom with safe turning radius and user-specific shower layout, demonstrating BFA, LLC’s personalized approach to home modifications.”

Accessibility is personal—every home and every client requires a custom design.

When families begin exploring accessibility remodeling—whether for aging in place, recovering from illness, or adapting to a mobility diagnosis—they often expect standardized measurements or universal layouts. But in real homes with real people, accessibility is far more personal.

What works for one person may not work for another.
This is why our designs are customized for:

  • The client’s diagnosis

  • Strength and mobility level

  • Reach and transfer patterns

  • Caregiver needs, if applicable

  • Home layout and structural limitations

  • Future planning for progressive conditions

The right solution for one homeowner may be unsafe or unmanageable for someone else.
This is why accessibility done correctly can never be “one-size-fits-all.”

Examples of Why Custom Design Matters

1. Roll-In Shower Design

Seat height, shower controls, grab bar placement, and clearances must match the client’s actual abilities—not generic measurements.

2. Ramp Slope and Length

The correct ramp angle depends on both the mobility device and the property layout. Some homes require lifts instead of ramps.

3. Zero-Step Entries

Every Michigan home has unique entry conditions—porches, thresholds, grade slopes, and interior transitions that affect safety.

4. Bathroom Layouts

Turning radius, shower entry direction, handheld shower height, and sink access all vary by the user’s mobility and strength.

This is why every wheelchair-accessible home modification must be custom-designed.

The Meaning of Accessibility During the Holidays

During Christmas, family members gather from near and far. Many clients tell us that this is when they first notice:

  • A loved one struggling with the bathroom

  • A doorway that is too narrow

  • A step that has become too difficult

  • A shower that no longer feels safe

  • A caregiver who is overwhelmed

  • A home that needs barrier-free pathways

These moments are meaningful—because they show us what matters most:
Keeping loved ones safe, comfortable, and able to enjoy their home.

As Michigan Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS), we take this responsibility seriously. Every solution we design is built around dignity, mobility, and long-term independence.

Accessible Bathrooms in Michigan: Roll-In Showers Designed for Safety, Comfort, and Independence

Creating an accessible bathroom begins with a safe, barrier-free shower. Learn why Michigan homeowners trust BFA, LLC – Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists – for roll-in shower remodeling designed around mobility, safety, and independence.

For many Michigan homeowners, an accessible bathroom is the key to maintaining safety, confidence, and independence at home. At BFA, LLC – Contractor & Disability Consultant, we specialize in Accessible Home Modifications, including Roll In Shower Michigan, Barrier-Free Remodeling, and Age In Place Remodeling across Southeast Michigan.

As Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS), we design bathrooms that match each person’s mobility level, diagnosis, and home layout. Every detail matters: from flooring transitions and water containment to grab bar placement, seating height, and transfer zones. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Every body is different, every home is different.

Creating an accessible bathroom starts with a safe, barrier-free foundation. At BFA, LLC, we design and build Roll-In Showers and Accessible Bathrooms in Lake Orion, MI, and throughout Southeast Michigan using ADA principles, Michigan building codes, and personalized assessments. As Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists, we customize every project based on mobility needs, safety requirements, and long-term independence. Learn why Lake Orion homeowners trust us for expert, caring, and reliable accessible home modifications.

What Is a Roll-In Shower and Why Is It Essential?

A roll-in shower is a curbless, zero-threshold shower that allows:

  • Wheelchair access

  • Safer walking access without stepping over a ledge

  • Improved transfer methods

  • More space for caregivers

  • Better long-term accessibility as mobility changes

Unlike a walk-in shower, a roll-in shower eliminates the step entirely. This is especially important for individuals with balance issues, limited strength, or difficulty lifting their feet.

Benefits of a Roll-In Shower for Michigan Homeowners

  • Increases safety and reduces fall risk

  • Meets ADA principles while being adapted to residential codes

  • Allows aging in place with dignity

  • Compatible with grab bars, fold-down seats, handheld showers, and slip-resistant flooring

  • Ideal for wheelchair users or individuals who may need mobility devices in the future

Every project includes material selections built to last—premium tile, Schluter waterproofing systems, ADA-height grab bars, and non-slip flooring.

How BFA, LLC Designs Your Accessible Bathroom

Our process is expert, thorough, and always centered on you:

  1. In-home accessibility assessment with Luis Ríos

  2. Understanding mobility levels, diagnosis, and caregiver needs

  3. Determining transfer zones, shower layout, and proper clearances

This Christmas and New Year, Give Yourself the Gift of an Accessible Home. There Is No Place Like Home.
By BFA, LLC – Contractor & Disability Consultant | Michigan Certified CAPS Remodelers

A Holiday Season Focused on Safety, Dignity, and Independence

As the holidays approach, we gather with loved ones and reflect on what matters most—comfort, safety, and independence at home. For many families in Southeast Michigan, this is the moment they realize that accessibility is not just a want. It is a necessity.

At BFA, LLC – Contractor & Disability Consultant, we believe that the greatest gift you can give yourself or your loved ones is a home that supports mobility, confidence, and long-term independence. As Michigan Certified CAPS Remodelers with more than 20 years of experience, our mission is simple: make every home safer and barrier-free.

Why an Accessible Home Makes the Perfect New Year’s Resolution

Winter highlights mobility challenges more than any season—icy walkways, tight bathrooms, steps that become unsafe, and daily routines that suddenly demand more effort. A New Year’s resolution to create an accessible home is a resolution to protect your well-being, your independence, and your future.

Accessibility upgrades matter when:

  • Stepping over a bathtub becomes unsafe

  • Caregivers need more support

  • Steps or narrow doors limit mobility

  • Transferring becomes difficult

  • A wheelchair or walker is part of daily life

  • A home needs to be aging-in-place ready

If even one of these speaks to your situation, now is the time to plan.

Project Completed: Wheelchair Accessible Wet Room | Novi, MI

BFA, LLC completed a Wheelchair Accessible Wet Room in Novi, MI, designed for safety, comfort, and independence. Features include a zero-threshold ADA Roll-In Shower, slip-resistant waterproof flooring, custom grab bars, and an open, maneuverable layout. Built by Michigan Certified CAPS Remodelers, serving Southeast Michigan with expert Accessible Home Modifications and Barrier-Free Remodeling.

Project Completed: Wheelchair Accessible Wet Room | Novi, MI

Creating Safety, Comfort, and Independence at Home

At BFA, LLC – Contractor & Disability Consultant, every project begins with one goal: helping our clients live safely, comfortably, and independently in their own homes.
This recent Wheelchair Accessible Remodeling project in Novi, Michigan is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship can transform a traditional bathroom into a fully barrier-free wet room — beautiful, functional, and safe.

About the Project

Our client wanted a modern, open-concept bathroom that could accommodate a wheelchair while maintaining a clean and elegant look. The space was reconfigured to provide zero-threshold access, improved maneuverability, and a safer bathing environment.

Key Features:

  • ADA Roll-In Shower with zero-threshold entry for easy access

  • Slip-resistant waterproof flooring system with seamless drainage

  • Custom grab bars and handheld shower system for comfort and support

  • Open floor plan allowing full wheelchair movement

  • Accessible vanity with knee clearance and safety edges

  • Professional waterproofing and tile installation for durability and easy maintenance

Our Process: Accessibility Meets Design

As Michigan Certified CAPS Remodelers, our team specializes in Barrier-Free Remodeling and Accessible Home Modifications.
From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, every step of this Novi project was guided by accessibility standards and the client’s unique needs.

We ensured proper slope for water flow, secure anchoring of grab bars, and careful selection of non-slip materials that combine safety with style.

Why Choose a Wet Room?

A wet room is one of the most effective ways to achieve true accessibility.
Unlike a traditional shower or tub, it removes barriers entirely — no curbs, no thresholds, and no tripping hazards.
For individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, or simply planning to age in place, a wet room provides both convenience and independence while adding modern appeal to the home.
