Home is where you want to be. But as we get older, the layout and design that once worked so well is now working against you. That's why Mr. Handyman of Lexington handles aging in place projects for Lexington homeowners who’d rather stay put as their needs change. Our Lexington handyman team can install grab bars, stair rails, entry ramps, and wider doorways, so you can stay in and enjoy your home. Nobody’s asking for a gut remodel. You want the back steps to feel solid again and the shower to stop feeling like a gamble on wet tile. Call us to walk through the house and map out what makes sense for you.

Aging in Place Solutions for Lexington Homes
Every project starts with a walk-through. We follow the route you take each day, from the driveway to the bedroom and bath, and mark the spots where a slip is most likely. You get a written scope before work begins. Most of what we install falls into four groups:
- Grab bars set 33 to 36 inches off the floor and screwed into studs or added blocking, never drywall anchors alone.
- Entry ramps and continuous stair handrails, inside and out.
- Doorway changes with offset hinges and lever handles.
- Threshold and flooring fixes that take out trip edges between rooms.
Bathrooms usually get the most work. A fold-down shower seat needs solid blocking behind the tile, and we’ll add it while the wall is open or anchor through tile with a diamond bit and seal every hole with silicone. A handheld shower head on a slide bar doubles as a second grip point. For tubs, a clamp-on tub rail is a quick fix, but it’s no substitute for a bar fastened to framing. Slick porcelain floors get a clear anti-slip coating that still mops clean.
The Kentucky Residential Code, based on the International Residential Code, caps a ramp at your required exit door at 1 inch of rise per 12 inches of run, with level landings at least 3 feet by 3 feet. A porch sitting 18 inches above the walk needs roughly 18 feet of ramp. We build with pressure-treated lumber and add a gritted tread, since Bluegrass winters throw plenty of freeze-thaw mornings at an exposed slope. Lexington’s 15 historic districts add a step: exterior changes there need a Certificate of Appropriateness, so a side or rear entry is often the easier route.
Inside, a 28-inch bedroom door is tight for a walker. Offset hinges swing the door out of the opening and gain close to 2 inches without touching the framing. Need more room than that? We reframe for a 36-inch door.
Why Choose Mr. Handyman of Lexington for Accessible Home Modifications
A local nonprofit told city council in 2024 that Lexington’s 65-and-over population would be about 86% larger by 2030 than it was in 2010, and most of those folks plan to stay in the homes they already own. This makes it crucial to have good aging-in-place solutions in Lexington, KY. Our Lexington craftsmen are background-checked, insured W-2 employees, not random subcontractors pulled from an app. The average person on our team brings about 10 years of trade experience, so they know how to find a stud behind 1960s plaster and when a rotted rim joist means the ramp ledger needs another plan. Good aging-in-place solutions depend on that kind of background.
It also helps that one craftsman covers a lot of ground. While we’re mounting a shower bar, we can lower a closet rod, rehang a sticking door, or tighten a wobbly deck rail on the same trip. Homeowners in Georgetown and Nicholasville tell us that’s the part they didn’t expect. Every job carries the Neighborly Done Right Promise®. If something isn’t right, we come back and fix it at no added cost. And we clean up before we leave, sawdust included.
