Project Profile: Universal Design isn’t something most homeowners think about when building or remodeling a home, but it is something we discuss frequently with our clients. Aging In Place or Universal Design, both used interchangeably, simply defined is a home designed and built to be used and accessed easily by all people no matter their age, size, or abilities. This universal approach to design and construction is all about planning and details. Carefully researching and choosing the products, features, and space considerations for your home to function for all throughout you and your family’s life cycle.
In the summer of 2018, Donna, a longtime past client of The Cleary Company, called George with news that her husband was suddenly and unexpectedly confined to a wheelchair. They needed a full bathroom on the first floor of their home remodeled to accommodate his new accessibility requirements. George was, of course, ready to fast track a remove and replace bathroom project to meet their needs!
Before & After Universal Design Bathroom Remodel
20 Years of Multiple Remodels & Lifestyle Transitions
Meet Donna. She’s been a client of The Cleary Company since 1999. She hired George to build a 2-story addition on her cape cod home in Upper Arlington OH. That first project included adding a family room, master suite, plus another bathroom to accommodate her growing family. Since then we’ve also remodeled her kitchen, mudroom, basement, garage and last year a Universal Design full bathroom remodel.
Donna is not only a client but a cheerleader for The Cleary Company, by referring several family members, friends and neighbors over the years. Read more about Donna’s relationship and past projects with The Cleary Company here.
“I’m feeling the Cleary love! Please know that I appreciate and love you guys so much. Thank you George, for being in my life!” – Donna, Upper Arlington OH
