Grab bars, handrails, stair treads and trip hazard fixes for families, seniors, landlords and rental owners, as a one-time visit or a recurring plan.
Safety and accessibility updates are handyman-level installs that make a home safer to get around in, including grab bars, handrails, stair treads, trip hazard repairs, anti-tip furniture anchors and baby gates. Grab bars and rails are fixed into studs or proper structural anchors, not drywall alone. Clean Corps is a veteran-owned handyman and property maintenance company serving Kissimmee and the wider Orlando area. Call (407) 638-8956 or request service online.
About Kissimmee: Seat of Osceola County and due south of Orlando, Kissimmee sits on the northwest shore of Lake Tohopekaliga. Many homes near downtown date to earlier decades, while most homes citywide were built more recently.
Families in Kissimmee who call about grab bars are often helping a parent or spouse stay in a home they already know, and the bathroom wall is the unknown. The city’s downtown plan dates many homes in the downtown redevelopment area to earlier decades, and a bathroom in a house of that era may have been updated more than once, so what sits behind the tile is anyone’s guess.
In an older bathroom the tile may sit over furring on block, a mortar bed or plaster, and each takes a different anchor. Clean Corps checks what is behind the surface before drilling, then fits the bar into studs or structural anchors suited to that wall. Sometimes the bar lands in a different spot than the owner first picked. If a wall cannot take a bar where you want it, you hear so first. The same visit can add stair rails, non-slip treads, lever handles or furniture anchors.
Stand in the bathroom with the person who will use the bar and mark where a hand reaches when stepping out of the tub or rising from the toilet. Photos of the wall help, and so does knowing whether the tile is original. If you are unsure what a person needs, ask a healthcare provider or occupational therapist. Several small items can be done in one visit. Phone (407) 638-8956 or send a request through the website, and this post on aging in place gives background.
These answers apply across the Orlando metro, including Winter Park, Kissimmee, Lake Nona, Windermere, Oviedo and Winter Garden.
Into wall studs or into solid backing with proper structural anchors, depending on how the wall is built. Wall construction varies from home to home, so the method changes. Clean Corps will tell you if a wall cannot take a bar where you want it.
Threshold ramps are on the service list, and they suit a raised door sill or a single low step. Long or permanent ramps are structural jobs outside this service. Check with your local building department or HOA before adding any ramp, especially one outside the house.
Yes. Landlords fit accessibility features on request, and vacation rental owners add grab bars and handrails to broaden who can comfortably book the property. Clean Corps can do it as a one-time visit or alongside a recurring monthly or quarterly plan.
Often, but the anchor depends on what sits behind the tile, which may be furring over block, a mortar bed or plaster. Clean Corps checks the wall first, and will tell you if it cannot take a bar where you want one, then suggest another spot.
Handrails and safety rails on steps and stairs are part of this service, along with stair treads and non-slip fixes. Ramp building and structural changes are not. If the home sits in a planned development or the Beaumont historic area, check with your local building department or HOA before exterior changes.
Know which wall and spot you have in mind, who will use the bar, and what the wall surface is if you can tell. Photos help. Say whether you want a single visit or a recurring plan when you send the request.
