What Makes a Shower ADA-Accessible?
Accessible showers prioritize safe entry, stability, and ease of use. We design and build showers that support aging in place, mobility challenges, and ADA-style guidelines where requested.
Curbless or Low-Threshold Entry
Roll-in or step-over entry so wheelchairs or walkers can access the shower. Requires proper slope and drain placement so water stays contained.
Grab Bars
Reinforced grab bars at transfer height and along the wall. We install blocking during construction so bars are securely mounted.
Seating
Built-in bench or fold-down seat at the correct height for safe transfer. We position seating so it doesn't block the spray or drain.
Handheld Shower & Controls
Handheld showerhead and controls reachable from a seated position. Anti-scald valves for safety.
Slip-Resistant Flooring
Tile or shower floor with adequate slip resistance. We choose materials that meet traction requirements for wet environments.
Tub-to-Shower or New Build
We convert existing tubs to accessible showers or build new accessible showers from scratch. Same care for waterproofing and finish work.

ADA & Accessible Shower Conversion FAQs
Quick answers before you request a quote.
What's the difference between ADA and aging-in-place?
ADA refers to specific federal guidelines for accessibility. Aging-in-place is a broader term for design that supports staying in your home. We can follow ADA dimensions and features where you want full compliance, or tailor for comfort and safety without strict ADA.
Can you add grab bars to my existing shower?
Yes. We can install grab bars into studs or add blocking behind tile. If there's no reinforcement, we may need to open the wall or use specialty anchors. See our Grab Bar Installation service.
Is a curbless shower more likely to leak?
No, when built correctly. Curbless showers rely on proper slope toward the drain and a well-sealed floor. We install waterproofing and pitch the floor so water stays in the shower area.
Do I need to remove my tub for an accessible shower?
Often yes — the tub footprint becomes the shower. If you have space, we can build a separate accessible shower and keep the tub. We'll discuss options during the quote.
