And many more. Share your project list with ADAPT. We’ll discuss what ADAPT can handle directly and when a specialized contractor is appropriate.

1. Start with your concerns.

Tell ADAPT what needs attention, what has become difficult, and what you would like to accomplish.

2. Prioritize practical improvements.

We consider everyday use, safety, and comfort. You can tackle one small project or discuss several items together.

3. Discuss the work and estimate.

Please contact us for an estimate. Scope, timing, and cost are discussed before work begins.

Preparing to return home after an injury, hospital stay, or rehabilitation? Share the home recommendations from your doctor, discharge planner, social worker, occupational therapist, or physical therapist.

Brian can discuss the repairs and related improvements that fit those recommendations. Families and care professionals are welcome to inquire.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to address repairs that have become difficult. Small, practical improvements can help keep your home more comfortable and manageable as you age in place.

A handyman inquiry or estimate is separate from a paid Home Safety Assessment. If you need a broader review of home safety concerns, ask ADAPT about that service. Learn what a home safety assessment involves.
