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.

Before and After : Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom

Happy Friday! What do you think about this before and after wheelchair accessible bathroom from our #Newport project? We went with the classic grey to keep with the traditional feel of the home. Do you lean towards beige or grey? We lean towards greige 😉 📷: @BFAllc

Bathroom Accessibility- Why a Wall-Mounted Toilet?

The wall-mounted toilet offers three practical advantages:

Space savings: Wall-mounted toilets are a great choice for smaller bathrooms because the bowl and actuator plate are the only parts in the room. The outer tip of the bowl is up to 12 inches closer to the wall, which can make a huge difference in a small bathroom.
Easy cleaning: Because the toilet bowl doesn’t touch the floor, cleaning the area around the fixture is much easier.
Adjustable height: When installing a wall-mounted toilet, the remodeler can customize the height for the homeowner. This is especially helpful for people with mobility issues who might need a higher toilet.
