Grab bars for the bathroom

Grab bars in the shower & bathtub
Safety bar placement or a bathtub safety rail installtion in the shower provides stability when standing and helps with transition from sitting to standing from a shower seat or bench. Our professionals can quickly install secure grab bars anywhere in your shower.

Don’t take any risks with your physical well-being or sacrifice your independence. A single fall could take away your ability to live at home self-sufficiently.
Grab bars and safety rails by the toilet
Toilets weren’t designed for those who experience mobility issues. Toilets are often positioned low to the ground making it difficult to sit and stand easily.
Safety handrails for the elderly, installed next to a toilet, will help make access easier for those who have complications. We can install flip-up safety rails easily kept out of the way when not needed.
Grab bars and handrails by the stairs
Having a secure safety rail to hold onto can make all the difference in getting safely around your home. For anyone struggling with balance or mobility issues we recommend having hand rails professionally installed along all interior and exterior stairs, even if it’s only a couple of steps.
Grab bars for doorways
Installing grab bars near doorways is a detail most people don’t think about but one we highly recommend. We can install strong and low-profile grab bars to make it easier to lock or unlock a door, get through doorways and pause to turn on the lights. Sonnenburg Builders brings senior home safety right to your doorstep!
Correct placement and height of grab bars
Whether you need grab bars to comply with ADA accessibility guidelines or a safety rail installed at just the right height for a member of your household, Sonnenburg Builders is perfect for the job. We offer full service remodeling and cost-effective handyman-home repair and remodeling services throughout Manitowoc County.
Not Recommended: Grab bars with suction cups
You’re only as safe as the mounting of your grab bars.
When a slip or loss of balance occurs, you need a bar firmly anchored to the wall, not stuck on with a suction cup – safety grab bars and rails installed by Sonnenburg remain firmly attached to help protect against injuries from slip and fall accidents.
Products promising instant secure installation without drilling should be avoided. Many of them only promise “stability” and reading the fine print reveals they are not intended to support full body weight.
Many low-priced “easy install” safety grab bars give the illusion of safety without actually improving the security of seniors or the disabled who need reliable home safety aids. There are no shortcuts to safety, but safety grab bars do offer a substantial improvement in senior home safety when done right.
Sonnenburg Builders has experience making the bathroom, kitchen, and all areas of the home safer and more accessible. We install safety grab bars and rails you can depend on.
