Stay Safe with Mr. Handyman, Age Safe Certified in Mooresville

In order to best serve our customers, Mr. Handyman’s team is Age Safe^® certified. This accolade, awarded by Age Safe America, proves that we’ve gone above and beyond to learn the best ways to keep older individuals safe in their homes. Age Safe America is a nationwide program led by experts on the cutting edge of their fields, such as medicine, physical therapy, environmental modification, and more. We are proud to participate in their training and share everything we’ve learned with you.

What Age Safe^® Certification Means for You

The Age Safe^® certification equips our team to safely install or repair a wide range of accessibility tools and features, both at home and in commercial spaces. Our trustworthy handymen will go through a simple process to help you determine the best ways to make your home safer and easier to live in.

A Reliable Safety Assessment

Mr. Handyman starts with a safety assessment. We’ll walk through the home, carefully reviewing each room to find potential problems. We’re looking for things like trip hazards, electrical concerns, poor lighting, security, movement accessibility issues, and even whether important tools and items are within reach. We are always happy to hear from you, too, about the areas you find most challenging. 

Repair Recommendations

Once our handymen have thoroughly examined your home, we will make recommendations on the areas to adjust based on their severity. In some cases, we can simply offer tips to make things a little easier; we’re not going to mislead you into doing repairs that aren’t necessary. For any issues that do need repairs or new installations, our handymen are bonded and insured, so you can trust us with the task.

A Transparent Estimate

At the end of the safety assessment, Mr. Handyman will provide an estimate of the costs for the recommended projects. We strive to be totally transparent in these estimates so that you won’t be met with unexpected expenses later. We can even help you choose which repairs to focus on first based on their impact—both on your home and your budget.

Promoting safety at home for the elderly is one of our top priorities, and we want to make this process as seamless as possible. Our polite team members will always arrive on time to your residence, so you’ll never have to wait on us. Some of the many projects we can tackle for you include:

• Installing safety bars – Adding safety grab bars in the shower, near the toilet, or even at dedicated points in the house, such as next to the kitchen sink
• Leveling – Smoothing or replacing wrinkled carpet and repairing floors so they are less of a trip and fall hazard
• Lighting – Swapping existing bulbs to high-efficiency or brighter LEDs, adjusting light fixtures and orientation to improve visibility, adding lights to new locations
• Modifying cabinetry – Installing or moving cabinets and shelves to more easily accessible locations, changing hardware on cabinets to make doors easier to open and close
• Maintaining railings – Installing or repairing railings and safeguards on stairs, ramps, and more
• Widening doorways – Increasing the width of doorways to accommodate wheelchairs and other accessibility devices
• Adjusting the bathroom – Adding seat risers to the toilet, easier-to-use showerheads, non-slip floor tape, and more
• Adding ramps – Creating ramps into and out of the home or to bridge the gap between a single step-up within the home

Whether you are looking to proactively modify your home as you get older or you’ve encountered a problem you need help with right away, it’s simple with Mr. Handyman. Just leave it to us!
