At Brother and Brother Builders in San Jose, we believe that everyone deserves a home that is not only beautiful but also accessible and functional. That’s why we are proud to specialize in Universal Design Makeovers, catering to clients with mobility challenges or aging in place needs. Our goal is to create spaces that are stylish, practical, and inclusive, ensuring that every member of the household can enjoy the comforts of home without limitations.
What is Universal Design?
Universal Design goes beyond mere accessibility—it’s about creating environments that can be used by people of all ages and abilities. Whether it’s a young family with strollers, someone using a wheelchair, or an elderly individual with limited mobility, Universal Design ensures that everyone can navigate and use the space comfortably and safely.
Our Approach:
At Brother and Brother Builders, we take a comprehensive approach to Universal Design Makeovers. We work closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and preferences, ensuring that every aspect of the renovation is tailored to their lifestyle.
Key Features:
- Wider Doorways: We start by widening doorways to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, making it easier for everyone to move freely throughout the home.
- Curbless Showers: Say goodbye to tripping hazards and awkward steps with our curbless shower designs. These sleek and modern showers not only enhance accessibility but also add a touch of luxury to the bathroom.
- Adjustable-Height Countertops: Our kitchen renovations include adjustable-height countertops, allowing users to customize the workspace to their preferred height. Whether standing or seated, cooking and meal preparation become effortless and enjoyable.
- Non-slip Flooring: Safety is paramount in any accessible home. That’s why we install non-slip flooring in both kitchens and bathrooms, reducing the risk of slips and falls for everyone in the household.
- Lever Handles and Touchless Faucets: Traditional knobs and handles can be challenging for those with limited dexterity. We install lever handles and touchless faucets, making it easier for everyone to operate doors, cabinets, and fixtures with ease.
