Our homes are the place where we should feel most comfortable, safe from intruders, and with more accessible areas for our needs. When we decide to stay in our existing home, we want to live there without barriers and with the utmost enjoyment!

We are a fully licensed general contractor and specialize in areas such as home renovations, grab bar placement and grab bar installations, wheelchair ramps and handrails, senior care and independent living support.

Rosalba and Dan Lamont

“We were very pleased with your workmanship, and the quality of your work and materials. You did a more than adequate prep for the room to be redone. Your knowledge of what was required for us was excellent. You always kept us informed of what was happening and willingly answered all our questions. You and your sub trades were a pleasure to be around. Thank you.”

“Dear Owen, thank you very much for getting together an extensive home modification and recommendation report. I gave you a very tight time line for an incredibly complicated case that required a high level of accessibility and construction knowledge to complete. I am very impressed with the level of detail you provided me. This was exactly what I was looking for and needed to complete my life care plan! I would not hesitate to recommend your consultation services in the future.”

    “We have used Accessable for the installation of grab bars and a bathtub to shower conversion to make it wheelchair accessible. Owen and Uriel were reliable, knowledgeable, professional and honest throughout the whole process. The shower conversion works well and looks great! I would highly recommend Owen and Accessable if you are struggling to figure out the type of equipment or conversion you need.”

    – Dennis and Janet Compton, Surrey BC

    “We were in need of a high quality grab-bar installation for all bathrooms in our residence and Owen and his team did not disappoint! Not only did Owen provide us with a top quality product and installation, he was a wealth of information in other ways we can make our residences a safer and more accessible place for our residents. We’ll definitely be working with Owen again in the future and would highly recommend Accessable Home & Property Services for anyone in need of home modifications.”
