What are the best wheelchair accessible home modifications? How do you make a home wheelchair accessible on a budget? The best wheelchair-accessible home modifications include ramps or vertical lifts for entry, wider door frames, and durable flooring for both comfort and safety.
On this episode of the Holmes on Homes Podcast, Mike Holmes is joined by his daughter Sherry Holmes as they sit down with Ronny Wiskin, Accessibility Specialist at MED+ Health, to break down the best options for creating a wheelchair-friendly home. They’ll explore the key features that every accessible home should have, what to look for when buying an accessible home, and common mistakes homeowners make when it comes to DIY projects and hiring the wrong contractors.
But that’s not all—code considerations for things like ramps, how to handle insurance payouts, and working with the right professionals are just as critical. We’ll discuss these challenges and provide expert tips on how to tackle them head-on.
What if you could transform your home to make it wheelchair accessible without costly mistakes or lengthy delays? Tune in to find out how the right approach can make all the difference.
