Bathroom specialists for aging in place, Sarasota and Manatee counties
Cost and funding
Nobody enjoys asking. Here are sample ranges for every kind of bathroom we build, the payment schedule we actually use, and an honest map of the funding routes including the ones that will not help you.
Demonstration figures for a typical Sarasota or Manatee project. Your floor, your walls and your permit office all move the number.
| Project | From | To | On site | What drives the number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powder room or guest bath | $6,400 | $15,200 | 3 to 6 days | Door strategy, comfort-height toilet, 42 in bar, lighting |
| Tub-to-shower, fast route | $7,200 | $13,500 | 1 to 2 days | Acrylic or solid-surface base, two walls of blocking, new valve |
| Walk-in tub with heater upgrade | $9,800 | $17,500 | 3 days | Includes the 50 to 80 gallon heater most quotes leave out |
| Tub-to-shower, fully tiled | $12,400 | $18,600 | 7 to 10 days | Mud pan, membrane, flood test, full blocking |

We are a bathroom contractor, not a benefits adviser. What we can do is tell you which desk to call and stop you wasting a fortnight on a route that was never going to work.
Ten percent to hold a start date, forty percent on the first day of demolition, forty percent at the tile stage, ten percent at handover after the load test. Florida law caps deposits, and we never ask for more than the work in front of it.
No interest, no finance company involved
We can introduce you to two lenders who specialise in home-accessibility work. Terms are between you and them, we take no commission, and we will put the same quote in front of a bank of your own choosing without complaint.
Sample terms only, we are not a lender
HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) and SAH (Specially Adapted Housing) both cover bathroom modifications for eligible veterans. Harriet keeps current contact details for the Bay Pines VA office and will give them to you. We do not file on your behalf.
Eligibility is determined by the VA, not by us
Original Medicare does not pay for home modifications. Some Medicare Advantage plans now carry a supplemental home-safety benefit, and Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care programme sometimes contributes. Check with your plan before you assume either way.
We make no claim about your eligibility
Sarasota and Manatee both run housing-rehabilitation programmes with income limits, and several local non-profits fund grab-bar and ramp work for older residents. Waiting lists are long but the money is real.
Income-tested, apply early
Medically necessary home modifications can sometimes be deducted as a medical expense to the extent they exceed the increase in property value. That is a conversation for your accountant, with our itemised invoice in hand, and not one for a bathroom contractor.
Speak to a tax professional
Refundable in full up to fourteen days before that date.
When the zip wall goes up and the old bathroom starts coming out.
After the flood test has passed and the pan is floated. Never before.
After the load test, with the signed sheet in your hand and the punch list closed.
Including whether any of the figures on this page are real. They are samples, and we say so.
Ask a person instead(941) 555-0213All questions and answersYes, with one named exception. Substrate and framing repair behind a wall nobody has opened yet carries a stated allowance. If we go past it we stop, photograph it and get your written sign-off before continuing. There is never a discovery on the final invoice.
Ten percent to hold a start date. Florida statute limits what a residential contractor can take up front, and in any case we would rather be paid for work that exists than for work that might.
No. The ninety-minute assessment and the written report are free and yours to keep whether or not you hire us. Several people have taken our report to another contractor, which is their right and does not bother us.
A curbless shower has become a broadly desirable feature rather than a medical one, and buyers read it as a design choice. Grab bars in matched finishes read as hardware. The only element that narrows appeal is a walk-in tub, which many buyers plan to remove.
Often, and sometimes it is the right call. Blocking and a comfort-height toilet this year, the curbless shower in two years. What we will not do is stage work in an order that means opening the same wall twice; we will tell you what has to happen together.
They are sample ranges for demonstration, based on typical Sarasota and Manatee projects. Your quote depends on your floor, your walls, your fixtures and your permit office. The only real number is the one on a written quote after an assessment.

Joaquin measures the room against every clearance, maps the studs so we know where blocking can go, and leaves a written report. If the honest answer is that your bathroom cannot do what you need, he will say so and the report is still yours.
We do bathrooms only. If you need a kitchen, an addition or whole-home work we will give you two names of people who do it properly.
