Grab Bar Reinforcement & Preparation Description

We locate and strengthen wall areas where grab bars will be installed, crucial for bathrooms or any area where stability matters most. With our Grab Bar Reinforcement & Preparation service, we coordinate with you to plan bar placement based on your mobility needs. Once reinforcement is complete, you get peace of mind knowing your grab bars will be installed on a foundation built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you do this if my bathroom is already tiled?

This specific service is for the "rough-in" phase (before walls are closed). If your bathroom is already finished, please look at our "Walk-In Shower & Grab Bar Installation" service, where we use specialized anchors or stud-finding techniques for finished surfaces.

What kind of wood do you use for blocking?

We typically use pressure-treated or standard spruce 2x6 or 2x8 lumber, screwed securely into the vertical studs. This provides a wide, solid target for mounting screws later on.

Do I need to buy the grab bars now?

No. The beauty of full-wall reinforcement is that you can decide on the style and exact location of the bars later. The solid wood backing will be waiting behind the wall whenever you are ready to install them.

Area to Cover

Why is a Technical Visit necessary?

Once the drywall and tile are up, you can only mount grab bars where the studs happen to be (usually every 16 inches), which is rarely the perfect ergonomic spot for a handrail. Our Grab Bar Reinforcement & Preparation service happens during the renovation phase. We install continuous solid wood blocking between the studs, giving you the freedom to mount heavy-duty safety bars exactly where you need them later, without relying on hollow-wall anchors.
