Frequently asked questions — Fort Worth

How do I verify a contractor in Fort Worth is legitimate?

Ask for proof of licensing and insurance, at least three references from recent aging-in-place jobs, and whether they hold the CAPS credential from the National Association of Home Builders. Check reviews across Google and the BBB — not just one platform.

How fast can grab bars be installed?

Most Fort Worth-area handymen and safety installers can complete a multi-bar bathroom installation in a single visit of one to three hours, provided the bars can anchor into studs or solid blocking.

Is a walk-in tub or a curbless shower better?

Curbless (zero-entry) showers suit wheelchair users and tend to help resale value; walk-in tubs suit people who benefit from soaking and hydrotherapy but require sitting in the tub while it fills and drains. A CAPS remodeler can assess which fits the person and the plumbing.
