Making Seattle Homes Safer, One Step at a Time

When Hans reached out to us at AAA Builders, he had a simple but crucial request - he needed safer steps for his Seattle home. As an elderly resident, he wanted to feel confident walking in and out of his house, especially since his existing steps weren't up to code. Let me tell you how we helped Hans transform his home into a safer space with our handyman services in Seattle.

Understanding the Safety Risks

Have you ever felt that moment of uncertainty when taking a step? That's exactly what Hans was experiencing every day. His home had one concrete step that was way too high, making it a daily challenge. And that second porch? Those smooth steps were like a slip-and-slide during Seattle's notorious rainy weather. Not exactly ideal for anyone, let alone our senior neighbors.

Building a Better Solution

We knew we needed to tackle this project thoughtfully. For the first porch, we replaced that towering concrete step with two properly spaced wooden steps - much easier to navigate! We didn't stop there, though. We added a sturdy handrail to give Hans that extra confidence when coming and going.

Remember that slippery second porch I mentioned?

We gave those steps a complete safety makeover. Anti-slip mats now cover each step, providing solid footing even during our wettest Seattle days. Plus, we installed two new handrails, because sometimes we all need something to hold onto.

From Worry to Relief in Just 3 Days

The best part? We wrapped up the entire project in three days, right on schedule and within budget. You should have seen Hans's face when he tried out his new steps for the first time. Gone was the worry about taking that too-high step or slipping during our rainy seasons. Instead, he had the peace of mind knowing he could safely navigate his home.
