Why Choose an Accessible Bathroom?
An accessible bathroom supports independence. It reduces risks and increases comfort.
Key benefits include:
- Safer entry and exit with walk-in showers.
- Easier movement with wider doorways.
- Comfort with grab bars, seating, and adjustable fixtures.
- Long-term value as homes adapt to changing needs.
Accessibility features are also recommended by CMHC – Housing Adaptations for Seniors and align with Ontario Building Code accessibility standards.

Common Accessibility Challenges
Renovating for accessibility involves solving specific problems.
Limited Space
Many bathrooms in Kanata homes are small. Space must be carefully planned to allow safe movement and wheelchair access where needed.
Slippery Surfaces
Standard tiles and tubs are slippery. Accessible bathrooms require slip-resistant flooring and safe drainage.
Hard-to-Reach Fixtures
Traditional sinks, showers, and toilets are not designed for everyone. Accessibility requires height adjustments, lever handles, and flexible shower heads.
Lighting and Visibility
Low light increases risks. Accessible designs include bright LED lighting, illuminated mirrors, and contrast between surfaces.

Phone/Video Meeting
Phone/Video Meeting
At this stage we will spend about an hour on the phone or video chat with you, we will answer all your questions regarding sample estimates, go over specific details of your project, and confirm all the costs and pricing with you. This will also allow you to meet us in the comfort of your home and see if we are a good match to work together.
Home Visit
Home Visit
This takes about 1-2 hours to complete. Further to the initial phone call/video call and after you have reviewed our paperwork, a home visit can be set up if you choose to proceed with the job. During this meeting, we will measure your bathroom, kitchen, or basement, review and sign off on the estimate, provide you with easy-to-follow instructions on product selection, and a list of products that you will need to choose for your specific project. We will give you all the right sizes you need and the required quantities. You will have a complete shopping list and a list of the preferred suppliers where you can choose your finished products and receive preferred special pricing on those products. You can be as involved in the process of selecting the finished products or as little as you choose. If you prefer to be less involved, we can pre-select products for you based on your requirement and you will simply confirm that selection.
Product Selection
Product Selection
We will supply all “rough materials” as part of our labor estimation. You do not need to bother yourself with buying every little screw and fastener. All plumbing, electrical, HVAC, tiling, framing, painting, carpentry, all rough materials will be supplied by us. We only use premium products and you can trust that we will not skimp on quality.
Finish materials: These are the products where we will need a little bit of your help for final selection. Since we all have different tastes and we all like different styles, we will leave the choice of finishing products up to you. After signing the estimate/project contract we will provide you with the detailed quantity and types of finished products you will need.
What are the finished products?
Your floor tiles, your wall tiles, your tub and shower bases, vanities, toilet, and mixing valves. Essentially, everything that you see and need to choose for your bathroom renovations in Ottawa. We will give you a list of preferred local suppliers where you can go to make your selections. We are always happy to pass on our contractor’s discount to you.
More details will be provided during phone call and/or meeting.
Installation
Installation
Once all your finished materials are in stock, we will call to confirm your installation date. We usually book that date after you’ve signed up and started selecting your finished materials. It is usually tentatively booked, and we confirm that firm date a few days or a week prior to your installation. A lot depends on materials availability. If what you’ve selected is in stock, your installation can take place sooner. However, if some or all your selected products are on special order, we will need to wait for them to arrive before we can start installation.
