Are you planning to turn your current home into a forever home? Then it’s important to make it accessible with the help of mobility remodeling. Unfortunately, there are numerous myths and misconceptions that make homeowners hesitate to get this type of project done.
In today’s blog, a top mobility remodeling company, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Schaumburg, busts some of the most common misconceptions surrounding mobility remodeling.
Myth: Mobility Remodeling Projects Are Expensive
Many homeowners think that a mobility remodeling project will be costly. Granted, you’ll have to invest a fair amount of money into it, but think of it as an investment in your future. You’ll experience greater convenience and peace of mind knowing that you live in a home that’s safe and will accommodate you as you grow older.
To avoid sticker shock, your bathroom quote should include the cost of installing a tub or shower that is suitable for those with limited mobility. If you have a limited budget and you want an accessible sink, you can remove the lower cabinet to allow someone in a wheelchair to reach it. Also include anti-slip bathroom tiles in the estimate to prevent slips and falls.
You can also opt for rubber flooring as an affordable alternative to tile. This flooring material is cost-effective, durable and low-maintenance. It also comes in different colors, giving you a great degree of flexibility. Your accessibility remodeling project doesn’t have to be expensive for it to work!
Myth: Accessible Features Reduce a Home’s Value
Some people think that accessibility features reduce a home’s resale value. However, this only happens when work is done by a subpar contractor. In reality, accessible features can be both beautiful and functional! Most homebuyers are pleased to see accessible features, especially if they want to purchase their forever home or if they have loved ones with disabilities.
