Make It Livable DC

Everything a house needs to stay livable

Each of these starts from the assessment report, so you pay for the most dangerous work first. Our own crews do all of it.

Home Safety Assessments

Start here if you are not sure what the house needs. One visit covers every room, and the written report decides what comes next.

Bathroom Safety and Remodeling

Grab bar installation for seniors, a seat in the shower, or a full handicap accessible bathroom where the tub edge has become the problem.

Wheelchair Ramps and Home Access

Wheelchair ramp installation, rails on both sides of the steps and a level way through the door, worked out from the real rise.

Stair Lifts and Mobility

For the parent whose bedroom is upstairs. Rails come first, and the stair gets measured and wired before any lift goes in.

First-Floor Living Conversions

When the stairs should stop being part of the day. A den or dining room becomes the bedroom, with a bath close by.

Accessible Kitchen Remodeling

For the cook who now climbs a stool for the top shelf. Reach, grip, light and the floor get fixed before any new cabinets.

See the work

Flooring and Fall Prevention

For the rug edge that catches a toe and the raised threshold at every door. The night route to the bathroom comes first.

Lighting and Home Safety

For dark stairs, switches nobody can find and glare off the floor. Light goes where the feet go.

Smart Home Safety Systems

For the family that lives too far away to drop by. Sensors and alerts tell you what the house would not.

Home Maintenance Plans

For keeping it safe after the work is done. A crew comes back on a schedule, fixes the small things and sends photos.

See the work

Hospital Discharge Home Preparation

For the family with a discharge date and a house that is not ready for it. Day one fixes get done first.

See the work

Veterans and Disability Modifications

For a veteran using a VA grant, or anyone whose program wants a written scope before it says yes.

Services by area of the house

The work falls into three groups. Changes to the rooms themselves, the checking that keeps them safe afterward, and projects that run on a discharge date or a grant.

What it costs

Most of these give typical installed ranges from named national cost guides. Where nobody has published a figure for the place you asked about, the page says so and explains what sets your price instead. Every one lists what can cost extra.

Compare your options

Some decisions have two good answers. These pages put them side by side, with the costs and the trade-offs, so the family can choose.

Start with the assessment

If you can't tell which of these you need, that is what the walk is for. You only pay for the work the report says the house needs.

The report is yours either way. Your number is never sold.
