Aging-in-Place Remodeling from Burlington to the Border
With less strength and flexibility than before, simple tasks can become more difficult in your golden years. Reaching for an item in an overhead cabinet can become challenging — even dangerous, and you can begin to lose your sense of confidence when you begin to need assistance for what used to be easier tasks. Fortunately, aging-in-place remodeling can help you regain lost confidence and restore your ability to live independently in your own home. North Haven Remodeling™ is a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) contractor, providing a safe place for people with special needs through knowledgeable planning in the field of ‘universal design’ — a process of inventorying your needs and capabilities before beginning space design.
