REMODELING TO ACCOMMODATE A DISABILITY
-
Located in Olympia, Washington, Cascadia Design Build is your disability remodeling specialist. From grab bars to whole
house remodeling, we do everything to make your home handicap and wheelchair accessible. If you are not sure what you
need, we offer consulting and home evaluations.
We provided high-quality general contracting work while specializing in disability modifications. Whether it's a handicap modification, remodeling or a new addition, we can produce high performance results. We have over eleven years of
experience dealing with special needs environments. Serving the Olympia area and parts of Thurston & Pierce counties.
NOT JUST ACCESSIBLE, BUT LIVABLE
-
Accessibility doesn't necessary mean you have a more livable environment. Many things need to be
included in the formula like the other family members, the care-givers, visitors, and the nature of the
disability plus long term needs.
We design and remodel to create a safe and accessible environment for disabilities of all ages. It
takes a team to do this. The therapist, contractor, client, family members and designers must work
together to reach the proper results. Our philosophy is that it’s your home not an institution. And
most importantly, designing for disabilities starts at the curb of your property. Parking, vehicle
access, pathways and landscaping are vital elements to designing for proper accessibility.
-
Home modifications are changes made to adapt living spaces to meet the needs of people with
physical limitations so that they can continue to live independently and safely. Having a disability
should not stop you from living your life or enjoying your home.
Our goal is to modify or build our customer’s home in a way that is therapist driven and functional,
yet still a comfortable and pleasing environment. Whether you are in need of a few simple grab
bars or need to make your home completely wheelchair accessible, we are here to help you. We
are also a full service remodeling and landscaping company. So, if you've got additional needs while
we're consulting with you, please let us know.
FROM THE FIRST MEETING.....
-
The first consult determines what your needs are. We consult with all the people involved from family members to therapists. Then we design a plan to create an environment specific to your families needs. Projects can be done in phases depending on the budget and immediate needs. Or, we can design and build a complete property make-over starting at the driveway and moving into the home.

EVERY DISABILITY IS DIFFERENT AND EVERY FAMILY UNIQUE-
Disabilities affect the whole family and it is important to modify the home to fit everyone's needs. Our consulting
and design work is all-inclusive and geared towards the complete long-term picture.
Sometimes families have a handicapped resident plus a family member who visits that has accessibility issues.
Some people want to still be able to garden or at least, to be able to enjoy their yard. In other situations, the
family is the care-giver. In others, there are outside helpers who come into the home. There are short-term
disabilities caused from accidents and long-term degenerative illnesses. Factors like accessibility, transferring,
safety, visitability, hygiene and food preparation need to be integrated into the plan.
KEEPING IT A HOME ENVIRONMENT
-
How do you keep your home a home while also being a care facility? Part of the design process is planning for
the care of the handicapped family member. Another part of the process is designing for the people who take
care of that person, as well as, the people who also live in the home. All these factors affect the design phase
prior to construction. We help you transfer all these concerns and needs into a working solution.
ADA vs. PERSONALIZED CUSTOM DESIGN
-
Like most CODE requirements, ADA is the minimum. Designing a handicap accessible environment is unique to the person, family and care-givers. There are many details that need to be added into the equation. Having the Occupational Therapist and/or rehab doctors in the design phase discussion is vital.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE
-
Having a full-care handicapped son in our home for the last ten plus years, gives us a unique perspective
as it relates to the disability renovation industry. We can help you get all your thoughts and concerns into
an organized platform and then take it through the design process into the construction phase. We are here
to listen to your needs, define your budget and design & build solutions that work for you and your family.
There are a many components to designing for disabilities that need to be in the plan. Then, you need
an experienced team on your side. Our approach to our projects is summed up it this quote. "I am careful
not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business."

AGING-IN-PLACE CERTIFICATION-
Yes, we did the classes and certification like all the rest of the disability remodeling specialists. It is basically a NAHB sponsored
designation that requires three days of instruction. It's far from making a contractor an expert in disability remodeling, but it is a
helpful tool to help you get there. Please read: Planning Your Project, to learn about all the factors you need to think about when
doing a remodeling project.
Please call (360) 628-9241 or contact us of you have any questions
This is an on-line resource center I found that consolidates information and local resources for disability services, aging-in-place resources, community help services, etc. When our son came home from the hospital it turned
our lives upside down. There was information out there, but the challenge was getting it an timely fashion for all
the things we had to make decisions on.
My wife and I always wished there was one or two places to go to get answers to our questions. Now there is. This website is still a work in progress, but the people who put this together have the right vision as to where their are going with this resource. (Link)
