Create a safer, more comfortable home with remodeling solutions designed for long-term independence. At Main Street Contractors, we help homeowners in Indianapolis upgrade bathrooms and key living spaces with accessibility-focused features that improve safety, function, and everyday ease.
Whether you are planning ahead, remodeling for a loved one, or updating a home after mobility needs have changed, we build practical solutions that still look clean, modern, and well-finished.
What Is Aging in Place Remodeling?
Aging in place remodeling focuses on making a home easier and safer to live in over time. Instead of waiting for a fall risk, access issue, or daily frustration to become a bigger problem, homeowners can make smart upgrades now that improve comfort and reduce barriers later.
For many homes, the bathroom is the best place to start. Stepping over a tub wall, navigating a slippery floor, or dealing with a tight layout can become more difficult over time. Our team helps Indianapolis homeowners redesign these spaces with safer access, better support, and more functional layouts without making the room feel clinical or institutional.
Our Aging in Place Remodeling Services
Accessible Bathroom Remodeling
We remodel bathrooms with long-term comfort and safety in mind. Depending on the space and your goals, that may include low-threshold showers, wider clearances, improved lighting, easier-to-reach storage, and fixtures that are simpler to use every day.
Walk-In and Low-Threshold Showers
A walk-in shower is one of the most practical upgrades for aging in place. We can replace outdated tub and shower combinations with easier-entry shower designs that improve access and reduce fall risk while still fitting the overall style of your home.
Grab Bars and Support Features
Well-placed support features can make a major difference in daily safety. We install grab bars and reinforcement where needed so key areas of the bathroom offer more stability without sacrificing appearance.
Non-Slip Flooring and Safer Surfaces
Slippery flooring is one of the biggest concerns in older bathrooms. We help you choose durable materials that offer better traction and are easier to maintain.
Comfort-Height Toilets and Accessible Fixtures
Small changes can have a big impact. We can recommend fixture upgrades that make sitting, standing, reaching, and using the space easier and more comfortable.
Improved Lighting and Visibility
A safer bathroom is not only about layout. Clear lighting around showers, vanities, and walkways can make the room easier to use and help reduce avoidable accidents.
Who This Service Is For
Our aging in place remodeling services are a good fit for:
- homeowners planning ahead for long-term comfort;
- adults updating a home for a parent or family member;
- anyone recovering from an injury or adapting to reduced mobility;
;
- homeowners who want a bathroom that is safer without looking medical;
- families who want a more functional main-floor bathroom for guests and multi-generational living.
Not every project requires a full remodel. In some homes, a focused set of upgrades can significantly improve safety and usability.

Depending on the layout of your home and your needs, we may recommend:
- low-threshold or curbless shower entry

Frequently Asked Questions
Is aging in place remodeling only for seniors?
No. Many homeowners choose aging in place upgrades before they need them. Others make these updates after an injury, for a family member, or simply to create a safer and easier-to-use home.
Do I need a full bathroom remodel to improve accessibility?
A full bathroom remodel is not always needed. Some homes benefit from a full redesign, while others only need targeted upgrades such as a walk-in shower, better flooring, improved lighting, or support features.
Can an accessible bathroom still look modern?
Yes. A well-designed accessibility-focused bathroom can still feel clean, stylish, and updated. The goal is to improve function without making the room feel clinical.
What is the most important upgrade for aging in place?
That depends on the home, but bathroom access is often the highest-priority issue. Walk-in showers, safer flooring, and improved support in wet areas are some of the most valuable changes.
Do you only provide bathroom aging in place remodeling?
Bathrooms are one of the most common areas for this type of work, but we can also discuss other interior upgrades that improve comfort, movement, and day-to-day use throughout the home.
