Tenhulzen Tips for Aging Homeowners

Enhancing Home Mobility

As a seasoned home remodeler with a passion for creating spaces tailored for longevity and comfort, Tenhulzen Residential has observed a rising trend in the demand for aging-in-place modifications. Homeowners are seeking ways to ensure their spaces can accommodate their needs well into their golden years.

 

Understanding Age-in-Place Remodeling

Aging-in-place remodeling focuses on enhancing the functionality and accessibility of a home to suit the mobility needs of aging individuals. It’s about creating an environment that can adapt to life’s changes without the need to relocate. This trend is not only about comfort but also about financial savvy. A home equipped for all life stages can command a higher market price, offering an excellent return on investment.

Professional Expertise in Mobility Modifications

When contemplating an aging-in-place remodel, it’s crucial to engage professionals with the right expertise. Certifications such as Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR) and Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) signify a remodeler’s commitment to the principles of longevity and safety in home design.  Tenhulzen Residential is one of these professionals and we are trained to understand the unique needs that come with aging and how to integrate solutions seamlessly into your home’s aesthetic.

 
The Value of Certified Remodeling

Tenhulzen Residential takes pride in holding these certifications.  It allow us to be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to execute complex mobility modifications. Being an expert makes us  well-versed in the principles established by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in collaboration with AARP, aimed to address the comforts of aging in one’s own home. By utilizing a certified professional, homeowners can trust the quality and sustainability of the modifications made.

Expanding for Enhanced Mobility

Rambler-style homes are prime candidates for mobility remodels due to their single-story layouts. However, space can be a constraint. An effective solution is to expand the home’s footprint. This can be achieved by adding square footage, which not only increases the functionality of your home but also makes it more appealing in today’s market.

Today’s Market Demand for Mobility-Modified Homes

Currently, the market reflects an increasing desire for homes tailored for aging in place. People recognize the value of a home that can support them throughout various stages of life and are willing to invest in properties that offer this advantage. Consequently, homes with mobility modifications are sought after and often fetch a premium per square foot.

If you’re considering a remodel and anticipate the need for mobility modifications, ensure you prioritize versatility and safety and reach out to Tenhulzen Residential. Engaging with certified professionals who can guide you through the transformation of your home to suit your changing needs is key. Remember, by embracing aging-in-place remodeling, you are not only enhancing your quality of life but also investing in a property that will have enduring value in the real estate market.
