Jefferson Park bathroom remodels
How do you plan a main-floor bathroom you can stay in for decades?
Jefferson Park has bungalows, Cape Cods, raised ranches and other single-family homes. For long-time owners, an aging-in-place bathroom on the main floor is a common goal.
Housing you'll commonly see
Single-family homes including bungalows and mid-century houses are widespread here. Every property is different, so treat this as context rather than a description of your home.
Low thresholds and blocking
A low-curb walk-in shower, grab bar blocking and a comfort-height toilet are worth planning now, even if you don't need them yet.
Door width
Older bathroom doors are often narrow. Widening one may affect the adjacent wall; it's a good thing to evaluate during design.
Can I add grab bars to tile later?
Yes, but anchoring is easier and stronger with blocking installed during the remodel.
