General Questions
Q: Does someone need to be home during the installation?
A: It depends. If the person who will use the grab bars is available, we can assess their needs in real-time and let them choose the style and length of the bars. If not, we can work with input from family members or healthcare professionals. Some rehab centers even mark ideal bar placements during a home evaluation.
Q: What areas of the home can you install grab bars in?
A: We install grab bars in bathrooms, bedrooms, stairways, hallways, garages, and other areas where additional support is needed.
Q: Do you travel outside the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area?
A: Yes! We serve the 7-county metro area and surrounding towns, including Buffalo, Albertville, St. Michael, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Corcoran, Waconia, Wayzata, Minnetonka, Edina, Bloomington, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Apple Valley, Shoreview, Andover, Anoka, Elk River, Monticello, Clearwater, and more. For outlying areas, additional travel charges may apply. Call us to discuss your location.
Installation Questions
Q: Can you install grab bars on ceramic tile walls?
A: Yes, we can! We carefully drill through the tile and securely anchor the bar into the studs behind it using stainless steel screws.
Q: Can you install grab bars on fiberglass shower units?
A: Absolutely. Fiberglass presents unique challenges due to the distance between the surface and the studs, but we have specialized techniques to ensure safe and secure installations.
Product Questions
Q: What finishes are available for grab bars?
A: We stock grab bars in brushed nickel, polished chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, white, and almond. We also carry specialty bars with grip features for extra security.
