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.

A Vertical Lift from HARMAR® for Accessibility

BFA,llc is proud to be a certified dealer of Vertical Lift Harmar RPL. 😁 I don't even remember how many years... 🙃

Harmar is a leading manufacturer of mobility device lifts made in the USA. The Harmar RPL's small footprint is preferred for homeowners who want a relatively discreet solution. It is virtually maintenance-free, indoors and out. Its top-mounted motor and electrical box simplify servicing and protect the lift from standing water. The Harmar RPL provides safe and reliable accommodation for your wheelchair or powerchair and ensures the most precise solution for your mobility need with its two models: the RPL400 and RPL600.

~ALS and MS Home Modifications

We work together with the family, OT, and other healthcare providers to be able to perform home safety evaluations. During the evaluation, they will assess the home layout and provide recommendations for making the home more accessible and safe. These recommendations may include advice for minor adaptations or major home remodeling as requested. Common recommendations include placing grabs bars in the shower or bathtub and ramps for entry to and exit from the home.
