The best time to make a home work for the next 20 years is during a remodel you're already doing — when blocking costs pennies and good design choices are free. Banner has helped three generations of Reno clients stay comfortably in the homes they love.
The big-impact changes
- Curbless showers — the flagship upgrade: stunning today, step-free forever
- Grab-bar blocking — plywood reinforcement hidden in the walls during any bath remodel, so bars can mount anywhere later
- Comfort-height fixtures — toilets and vanities at heights that are simply nicer for every body
- Wider doorways — 36-inch openings during a remodel cost little; retrofits cost plenty
- Lighting — layered, bright, switched where you actually enter rooms; motion-lit paths to the bathroom
- Lever handles & slip-smart flooring — small details, daily difference
Design that doesn't look 'medical'
The modern version of accessible design is invisible: a linear-drain curbless shower reads as luxury spa, not hospital. Blocking hides in walls. Comfort heights look intentional because they are. Nobody walking into a well-designed aging-in-place bath sees anything but a beautiful bathroom.
Why plan it now
Retrofitting after a fall or diagnosis is expensive, rushed, and emotionally hard. Building it into a remodel you already want costs a fraction and removes the future crisis entirely. It's the highest-return insurance a homeowner can buy.
Multi-generational by design
These same choices make homes work for visiting parents, recovering athletes, and toddlers alike. Universal design is just good design.
