Tucson's older neighborhoods have real character — and bathrooms and doorways built to standards that predate any thought of accessibility.
Much of Tucson's housing stock dates from the mid-twentieth century, particularly in midtown and the older east side. These homes are often solid and full of character, but they present recurring accessibility challenges: narrow bathroom doors, small bathrooms with fixtures crowded together, step-down living rooms, and entries with several risers and no handrail. Every one of those is addressable, and we'd generally rather modify a home someone loves than see them leave it.
Midtown Tucson, the east side, Catalina Foothills, the Sam Hughes and Blenman-Elm areas, the northwest side, and neighborhoods throughout the metro.
Older homes take more problem-solving — plaster walls, unusual framing, plumbing that isn't where you'd expect. That's the work, and we plan for it rather than being surprised by it. Start with a free home safety assessment — no cost and no pressure.
Almost always. Older homes require more investigation before quoting, because what's behind the walls is less predictable, but the fundamentals — bathroom safety, doorway width, entry access — are all solvable.
They're tight, but rarely hopeless. Removing a tub in favor of a curbless shower often frees up more usable space than people expect, and reconfiguring fixture placement can make a genuine difference.
