Making today's home ready for your tomorrows.

Creating an attractive, safe and comfortable retirement environment requires experience and focus.

If you do decide to remodel your home to make it more accessible or comfortable as you age, you want to have the job handled by someone who is a specialist. With our emphasis on homes for seniors, we see things a bit differently than the average contractor and can be an excellent partner in helping you create a better environment for your retirement years.

The owners of In Your Home have completed Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist training, have earned their executive certificate in home modifications from the University of Southern California's Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center and routinely attend conferences and workshops to further our knowledge of how to provide thoughtful solutions to the lifestyle changes and living challenges which are a common and natural part of aging. And, it is the primary focus of our company and the reason we started this business--not just a sideline.

Professional, caring service.

Construction and remodeling are difficult businesses that require skill and patience. Our team of specialists are hand picked to ensure they can provide the level of service and quality required. However, as much as you need things to happen quickly, some things just take time and unforeseen situations in your home can cause delays. While we recognize these things as truths, we don’t think a contractor should make them worse by behaving badly. At In Your Home we want to develop a long term relationship with our clients, so customer satisfaction is key--and our customers regularly ask us to come back and provide additional services.

Spend your remodel dollars wisely

When you chose a home remodel to support aging in your home, it is important to keep in mind that you home is a significant source of your wealth. Given your home’s value, condition and the length of time you can expect to live there, some remodeling choices just may not make sense for you. We will work with you to create the best plan that takes into account your needs and desires as well as the preservation and enhancement of your home’s value.

Remember—many modifications that you need are the same recommended for what is called “Universal Design”—a phrase meaning the home is designed to be accessible for everyone regardless of age or ability. Homes with thoughtful universal design features will be valuable for an increasing portion of the population—and a good investment.

They show that things can be done for a wide range of costs, but you should be prepared for at least the lowest price in the range.
