Renovating Your Main Line Home for Accessibility

As more homeowners in the Main Line area seek ways to upgrade and protect their property investments, many are increasingly focusing on accessibility and compliance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines. Whether you are looking to age in place comfortably, enhance the functionality of a recently purchased home, or ensure that your renovation aligns with the needs of current and future occupants, accessibility renovations have become a top priority. At Kenny Construction Group, we will explain why renovating your home for accessibility is essential, what you can expect during the process, and how our specialized approach can help you achieve a safe, seamless, and stylish home improvement project.

Understanding the Importance of Renovating Your Home for Accessibility in the Main Line

Your Main Line home, likely valued anywhere from just under half a million to over $1.5 million, is a significant investment that deserves careful stewardship. By proactively incorporating accessibility features, you are making the property safer and more comfortable for aging family members or guests with mobility challenges and enhancing its market appeal. Realtors and home inspectors often note that accessible features can positively influence resale value, opening your property to a broader pool of potential buyers.

Key Accessibility Upgrades to Consider

  • Exterior Entryways and Pathways: A smooth, accessible entry is paramount. We often work with Main Line homeowners who need sloped walkways, low-threshold entrances, or sturdy handrails to ensure effortless access. For properties with traditional stucco exteriors, our team can integrate ramps and widened door frames that blend seamlessly with the home’s façade—keeping that classic look intact.
  • Interior Doorways and Hallways: Many older homes in this region have narrow doorways and halls. Widening them improves wheelchair maneuverability and makes daily life easier and more comfortable for everyone. Our carpenters and finishers pay close attention to trimming and molding details to maintain your home’s original character.
  • Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations: Kitchens and baths are often at the heart of any accessibility renovation or remodel. To improve safety and usability, consider lever-style faucets, lowered countertops, pull-out storage, and barrier-free showers.
  • Flooring and Lighting: Subtle updates can significantly impact comfort and functionality, from slip-resistant flooring to strategically placed lighting. We guide you through material selections that suit your lifestyle and desired maintenance level while considering the unique living conditions on the Main Line, such as seasonal climate changes and the wear-and-tear from local conditions.
