- A built-in or fold-down seat and a hand shower
- How many grab bars, and where

- Slip-resistant floor tile
At the free visit we measure, go through each of these with you, and the written price says what you chose.
Glendale homes
What a accessible bathroom in Glendale usually involves.
Glendale runs from a historic downtown with early bungalows to the lakes and golf course homes of Arrowhead Ranch in the north.
Mortar-set tile in older baths
In Glendale's mid-century ranch homes, wall and floor tile was laid over wire lath and a thick mortar bed. It is durable but slow to remove, and the walls behind it are rarely flat. Demolition is heavier than in a newer house, and walls are rebuilt with cement board before waterproofing.
Where we work in Glendale
- Arrowhead Ranch Arrowhead Ranch covers much of north Glendale with homes from the 1980s and 1990s, many on lakes or fairways.
- Downtown Glendale Near the historic center, bungalows and small cottages have bathrooms that were modest from the start.
- Sahuaro The Sahuaro area, in central Glendale near the historic Sahuaro Ranch, consists largely of single-story homes that date to the 1970s and 1980s.
Glendale permits and Catlin Court. The City of Glendale is the permitting authority for homes within its limits.

Glendale questions
Straight answers.
What does a accessible & aging-in-place bath cost in Glendale?
Usually $10K–$28K in Glendale. The size of the room, the tile, the glass and any plumbing that moves make the difference. After a free in-home visit you get one fixed price in writing within 48 hours, with the warranty on all labor.
How long does it take?
Plan on 4–7 days on site. You get the schedule in writing with the price, before work starts.
What is usually done with the large tub in an Arrowhead Ranch primary bathroom?
Most often it is removed. The tub and its tiled deck occupy the best part of the room, and the shower beside it is undersized. Taking out both allows one wide shower with a bench, a niche and a glass panel. Owners who still want to soak can fit a smaller standalone tub, provided the drain location works with the slab.
Can a bathroom in a Catlin Court bungalow be remodeled?
Yes, interior bathroom work is possible in a historic district house. Review in the district is aimed at the exterior, so tile, fixtures and layout inside are the owner's choice, subject to normal building permits. If the plan changes a window or an outside wall, the city's historic preservation review may apply. Older framing and plumbing should be assessed before the design is final.
How wide should the bathroom door be?
As a general guide, a clear opening of about thirty-two inches lets most wheelchairs pass, and thirty-six-inch doors are more comfortable. Many older Valley homes have bathroom doors narrower than that. Widening involves reframing, new drywall and trim, and sometimes moving a light switch. A pocket door or offset hinges can gain clearance where the wall cannot be opened further.
Does a curbless shower flood the bathroom?
No, not when it is sloped and sized correctly. The shower floor falls away from the entry toward the drain, and the waterproofing continues under the adjacent bathroom floor as a backup. A linear drain moves water quickly. Aiming the head away from the opening and using a handheld while seated keeps spray contained. A curtain or panel adds a further margin.
