Creating an accessible home not only requires construction expertise, but also a commitment to keeping up with the evolving regulations and guidelines set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Intimate knowledge of smart technology is not required, but is certainly helpful in helping people with disabilities to live better and with greater convenience and safety. Sudbury specializes in both of these areas and has the expertise to not only create a functional space, but one that is designed as a place of beauty and convenience.

MUCH MORE THAN
Ramps

When most people think of accessibility, they think of wheelchair ramps and lifts for stairways. But designing a home with accessibility in mind involves much more. Some of the common features we incorporate into accessible homes (new or modified) include:

• Wider doorways with offset door hinges and no thresholds

• Wider hallways

• Large bathrooms, with roll-in showers, grab-bars, low countertops, and accessible sinks

• Light switches, outlets, thermostats, and other controls in accessible locations

• Windows with cranks instead of lifts

• Smooth, non-slip flooring

• Ramps

• Special lighting

• No-step entryways

• Low, roll-under kitchen countertops

• Ground-level, pull-out shelving

• Smart technology for ease of use
