How do we choose the right roll-in shower or accessible bathroom layout?

Every client’s needs are different. We assess mobility, transfer method, caregiver support, safety risks, and the home’s layout to design a custom roll-in shower, seating, grab bar placement, and clearances that fit the person using the space.

Can you help adult children who live out of state manage modifications for parents in Michigan?

Yes. We can coordinate communication by phone and email, share scope details and photos, and keep family members informed throughout the accessible home modification process in Southeast Michigan.

Do you install wheelchair ramps and lifts for home access?

Yes. We provide accessibility solutions including wheelchair ramp installation, handicap ramp installation, and disability lift options for homes, based on site conditions, rise, space, and safety needs.

Is residential remodeling required to follow ADA rules?

Residential projects are typically governed by local building codes, not full ADA requirements. However, we apply accessibility best practices and safety clearances when designing barrier-free remodeling for seniors and people with disabilities.

What areas do you serve?

BFA, LLC serves Southeast Michigan including Oakland, Washtenaw, Wayne, Macomb, and Livingston Counties (excluding Detroit).

How much does it cost to remodel a bathroom to be handicap accessible?

Costs vary based on the existing layout, the accessibility needs, and the finishes selected. We provide a detailed, custom estimate after an on-site evaluation so the design fits the client’s needs and the home’s conditions.

Do you work with insurance adjusters and case managers?

Yes. We can provide estimates, documentation, and progress photos for insurance adjusters and case managers. Coordination and approvals are handled by the case manager/insurance team per the client’s process.

An Accessible Bathroom and Ramp

We were doing extra work for a returning old customer.

And after all these years, 12 to be exact! the bathroom is in mint condition and the ramp just has a couple of loose screws.

That is the best compliment, the works talk by itself!

Roll-in shower Remodel

For many, an accessible shower means a roll-in shower. Accessible showers are often referred to as a handicap shower or a wheelchair shower. The biggest difference between a walk-in shower and a roll-in shower is the zero barrier threshold and larger size required for roll in showers. BFA,llc is experienced at designing and building roll-in showers to fit your particular needs. A beautiful and accessible tile shower not only provides access but can also add to the “wow factor” and resale value of your home.

Those seeking a roll-in shower will often benefit from a roll under vanity. These wheelchair accessible sinks give you efficient access to your vanity top and faucet and provide room to maneuver.
