When remodeling a home to make it more accessible, there is a wide range of concerns you must take into account. Primarily, you need to focus on having the work done in accordance with local laws while creating a home that is ideally suited to you and your family members access needs.

The first step is finding a contractor who is both skilled in remodelling for disability accessibility requirements, and can work within your budget. The best way to learn about whether the contractor can provide the services you require is to ask for references and pictures of previous jobs and refits of this type.

The next step is working with the contractor on specialized solutions for your home. Depending on the type of work you need done, you may need to work with a contractor who's certified in a specific discipline. For example, you may need to work with a certified electrician when putting in a lift that ties to your home grid. It's always advisable to learn about the types of certifications required in your area when working on any type of home remodelling project.
