Many Brentwood homeowners plan to stay in their homes for a long time. An accessible bathroom makes that easier, for you, an aging parent who's moving in, or a family member recovering from surgery. Done well, accessible features blend into a beautiful bathroom instead of standing out.
Features that blend in
- Curbless showers with linear drains and frameless glass look modern and remove the trip hazard of a curb
- Designer grab bars in finishes that match your faucets, some doubling as towel bars or shelves
- Built-in teak or tiled benches that make showering easier and more relaxing
- Comfort-height toilets that are easier for most adults to use
- Wider doorways and pocket doors that make room for walkers and wheelchairs
- Lever faucets and touch controls that are easy on the hands
- Layered lighting including low-level night lighting for safer trips at night
Planning for the future
Even if you don't need accessibility features today, a remodel is the perfect time to plan for them. Adding wall blocking for future grab bars, choosing a curbless shower and leaving clear floor space costs little now and saves a second remodel later.
Main-level bathrooms
In two-story Brentwood homes, a main-level bathroom with a walk-in shower can make one-floor living possible. If you're considering converting a powder room or guest bath, we can assess the space and plumbing during your consultation.
