Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the number of bars and whether backing board is needed. Our standard doesn't change by zip code. Every job is done to the same level. Our team gives you a clear quote for the full job before starting.

Yes. Our team drills through tile with the correct masonry bits and anchors the bars into studs or backing board behind it. The tile isn't damaged.

ADA-compliant grab bars are rated for 250 pounds of load. Our team installs to this standard on every job so the bar holds when it's needed.

If there's a stud in the right location, yes. If not, our team discusses whether a backing board installation makes sense for the safety benefit.

A horizontal grab bar is typically installed 33 to 36 inches above the floor. Angled and vertical bars depend on the user's height and the specific grab point. Our team follows ADA guidelines and adjusts placement to the individual's needs.

One horizontal bar in the shower at 33 to 36 inches for stability during washing. One angled or vertical bar near the entry for getting in and out. One near the toilet if that's also a concern. Our team assesses the specific bathroom and the user's needs before placement and recommends based on what will be used. ADA guidelines give the positions, but the exact placement depends on the person.

Yes. Multiple bathrooms in the same home are handled in one visit. It's more efficient and our team gives you a combined quote for the full scope rather than separate calls.

You can call first. Our team can confirm the correct bar lengths and mounting styles for the specific locations you need before you purchase. If you have already bought bars, we check they're rated correctly and that the wall can support them before installation begins.

Call us directly at (301) 395-3831. Have an idea of which wall and height you want the bar. Our team checks for studs and installs blocking if none are in the right position. Serves Bethesda and all of Montgomery County.

What We See in Bethesda Homes

Bethesda runs from the older detached streets of Edgemoor, Kenwood, and Bradley Hills, built between the 1920s and the 1950s, to a downtown of mid and high-rise condos. About 55 percent of homes are detached and roughly 37 percent sit in buildings of twenty units or more.

Plaster over lath is common in the older homes here, and it takes different anchors than drywall, so we find solid framing rather than trusting a standard wall plug.
