An accessible bathroom is more than just a convenience—it’s a necessity for individuals with limited mobility, aging adults, and those recovering from injury. For Pittsburgh families seeking long-term, in-home independence, accessible bathroom remodeling provides a path toward safety, comfort, and dignity.
Whether you’re planning ahead or facing an immediate need, a professionally remodeled bathroom designed with accessibility in mind can dramatically improve daily life. According to the National Institute on Aging, 80% of senior Falls happen in the bathroom. We also have a master plumber and licensed plumbers on staff.
Most bathrooms are not built for accessibility. Common limitations include narrow doorways, bathtubs that are difficult to step over, slick tile surfaces, and tight layouts that don’t accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, or caregivers.
These barriers can increase the risk of slips and falls, reduce quality of life, and create daily frustration. That’s why many Pittsburgh homeowners are choosing to remodel rather than relocate.
At 3 Birds Accessibility – Pittsburgh, we specialize in transforming standard bathrooms into barrier-free environments tailored to each individual’s mobility needs.
Key elements of an accessible bathroom remodel may include:
Our team works closely with homeowners to assess your current space and recommend modifications that combine safety with smart design. For many of our clients, the centerpiece of a remodel is a barrier-free shower, which offers safe, step-free access for users of all ages and abilities.
An accessible bathroom remodel is typically completed in phases to ensure both safety and precision.
We start by visiting your home and evaluating your existing bathroom. We assess your mobility needs, the structural limits of the space, and the level of accessibility required.
Every remodel is tailored to you. We create a design plan that balances aesthetics, safety, and code compliance—ensuring it works for now and the future.
We help you choose features such as roll-in showers, anti-slip flooring, ADA-compliant fixtures, and accessories that blend function and style.
Our experienced team handles every aspect of the remodel, including demolition, plumbing, electrical work, installation, and finishing details.
Before we leave, we walk through the finished space with you to ensure it meets your expectations and that all equipment functions properly.
The result is a bathroom that’s safer, easier to use, and tailored specifically to your home.
Remodeling for accessibility isn’t like a cosmetic renovation—it requires knowledge of ADA guidelines, mobility challenges, and long-term planning. That’s why Pittsburgh homeowners trust local professionals like 3 Birds Accessibility – Pittsburgh.
As a regional provider, we understand the unique layout challenges of Pittsburgh homes—from tight city bathrooms in Lawrenceville to historic builds in the South Hills. Our local experience means faster timelines, familiar design standards, and responsive post-project support.
How long does an accessible bathroom remodel take?
Most projects take between 2-3 days, depending on the scope of work and whether structural changes are needed. We'll provide a clear timeline before construction begins.
Is a permit required?
Yes, but we handle all permits, inspections, and code compliance for you. We ensure everything is done right the first time.
Can the remodel still look modern or stylish?
Absolutely. Accessible doesn't mean institutional. We offer a variety of finishes, tile options, and layouts to match your home's aesthetic.
Is it worth remodeling if I’m not currently disabled?
Yes—accessible design is also smart design. Many homeowners remodel proactively to age in place or to accommodate aging family members in the future.
Will insurance or Medicare cover it?
Some people can get insurance approval for an accessible bathroom remodel. In other cases, accessible bathroom remodels are considered out-of-pocket upgrades. However, we can work with you to find solutions that fit your budget and long-term goals.
We’ve worked with homeowners across Pittsburgh to create bathrooms that empower—not limit—their daily routines. From young families caring for a loved one with disabilities to seniors preparing to age in place, accessible remodeling is one of the most valuable upgrades you can make to your home.
A safe, thoughtfully designed bathroom doesn’t just prevent accidents—it restores confidence.
If you’re ready to explore your options for accessible bathroom remodeling in Pittsburgh, the team at 3 Birds Accessibility is here to help. We’ll work with you to understand your needs, design a space that works for your lifestyle, and deliver results with the highest level of professionalism.
