Making your kitchen more accessible

As time goes by, the rooms in our homes may not fit our needs the way they once did. In the kitchen, cabinets become out of reach, appliances inaccessible, and pathways too narrow. Your kitchen’s accessibility may not be as good as it could be and right now is the perfect time to remodel to fit your lifestyle needs. If you have bending, reaching, or grabbing limitations, Fort Rock Construction can help redesign your kitchen around you.

Many times, those in wheelchairs or who are movement impaired must use external tools to grasp objects in the kitchen. This is inconvenient and unnecessary. Narrow pathways can get banged up and damaged if they don’t give you sufficient clearance. And stoves are also an issue when the controls are behind the burners causing dangerous burn and fire hazards. All of these problems and more can be fixed with a kitchen renovation.

With a kitchen that’s designed to meet your needs, you can feel more independent and functional. For example, Fort Rock Construction can lower your countertops and your cabinets while rearranging and replacing old appliances as necessary. Even something as simple as stacking the oven and microwave together or raising the dishwasher for easy loading and unloading can make life a whole lot easier.

Remodeling your kitchen shouldn’t be a stressful or daunting task; it should relieve you of the burdens in your kitchen. Please contact us to get started on your kitchen remodel – we’re here to help!
