Transforming Homes with Auto Insurance-Funded Accessibility Projects: Bathroom Remodel, Ramp & Flooring Installation in Southeast Michigan

At BFA, LLC – Contractor & Disability Consultant, we recently completed a comprehensive accessibility renovation funded by a client’s auto insurance coverage. The project included a custom wheelchair-accessible bathroom remodel, a secure handicap ramp installation, and accessible flooring upgrades. Our team made this Southeast Michigan home safer, more comfortable, and barrier-free—restoring our client’s independence with expert craftsmanship and compassionate service.

Auto Insurance Can Fund Your Accessibility Remodel

Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance policies often cover medically necessary home modifications following a catastrophic injury. At BFA, LLC, we help clients get the accessible spaces they need—working directly with case managers, adjusters, and families from start to finish.

1. Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom Remodel

  • We transformed the existing bathroom to meet ADA guidelines and support safe, independent use:

  • A roll-in shower with a handheld showerhead and safety bars

  • ADA-compliant toilet with swing-away grab bars

  • Lowered vanity and accessible sink designed for seated use

  • Non-slip waterproof flooring for added safety

    2. Handicap Ramp Installation

    We built a front-entry barrier-free ramp using pressure-treated lumber, complete with:

  • ADA-compliant slope and width

  • Sturdy handrails and edge protection

  • Low-maintenance surface for year-round safety

  • 3. Accessible Flooring Upgrades

    The entire main level received accessible flooring modifications:

  • Low-resistance luxury vinyl plank flooring for smooth wheelchair travel

  • Level transitions and ADA threshold ramps

  • Durable, moisture-resistant materials for long-term performance

Insurance Coordination from Start to Finish

As Michigan Certified CAPS Remodelers, we simplify the process by:

  • Working with adjusters and medical teams

Building an ADA-Compliant Platform Deck in Dexter, MI for Harmar VPL Installation

Custom ADA-compliant platform deck built in Dexter, MI for Harmar 90° wheelchair lift. BFA, LLC ensures safety, accessibility, and expert craftsmanship.

Laying the Foundation: Platform Deck Construction for Wheelchair Lift Installation

Before any vertical platform lift (VPL) can be installed, it's essential to have a stable, code-compliant, and barrier-free access platform. At BFA, LLC, we recently completed the construction of a custom deck platform in Dexter, MI to support a 90-degree Harmar wheelchair lift installation.

This phase of the project is critical—it ensures the lift will integrate seamlessly into the home’s architecture, meet all ADA accessibility standards, and provide safe, long-term use for individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, or scooters.

Custom ADA-compliant platform deck built in Dexter, MI for Harmar 90° wheelchair lift. BFA, LLC ensures safety, accessibility, and expert craftsmanship.

Our Approach to Deck Platform Construction for VPL Systems:

1. Site Preparation & Grading
We begin by carefully assessing slope, drainage, and access points. This ensures the platform will rest on a solid base and align with the VPL’s height requirements.

2. Code-Compliant Framing
Using pressure-treated lumber, our team built a reinforced frame designed to hold the weight of the lift, rider, and any future adjustments (railings, gates, etc.). The framing follows Michigan Building Code and ADA load requirements.

3. Surface & Safety Features
We installed a slip-resistant decking surface, aluminum safety railings, and structural blocking at all lift junction points. This ensures safety, comfort, and durability.

4. Custom Configuration for 90-Degree VPL
Since this project involved a 90-degree Harmar lift, the platform was designed for a side-exit layout, meaning the rider enters from the driveway and exits at a right angle onto the porch.

Why It Matters:

A well-built platform deck is not just a base—it’s a key part of the accessibility solution. Our goal is always to make the entry look seamless, function safely, and feel like a natural part of the home.

Services Included in This Phase:

  • ADA-Compliant Platform Deck Construction

  • Permit Coordination & Inspection Readiness

  • Custom Aluminum Railings & Non-Slip Surface

  • Pre-Installation Coordination with Harmar VPL System

  • Barrier-Free Design for Age in Place Remodeling

Serving Dexter and Southeast Michigan With Turnkey Accessibility

As a Certified Harmar Dealer, Mobility Equipment Supplier, and Accessibility Contractor, BFA, LLC provides end-to-end solutions—from platform construction to lift installation and full barrier-free remodeling.

Curved Stairlifts: Custom Accessibility for Every Home in Southeast Michigan

At BFAllc Contractor & Disability Consultant, based in Northville, Michigan, we understand that no two homes—or staircases—are alike. For staircases that turn, curve, or have intermediate landings, a straight stairlift simply won’t do. That’s where Curved Stairlifts come in.

We proudly serve Southeast Michigan with expertly designed and professionally installed curved stairlifts that enhance safety, independence, and peace of mind.

Welcome to the Access + Home Blog

At BFAllc Contractor & Disability Consultant, we believe that accessibility is the foundation of independent living.
