Find 13 certified home modification specialists in Nevada for bathroom accessibility, stairlifts, ramps, and more.
Serving 3 cities across Nevada, including Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno.
Nevada's senior population has grown steadily alongside the state's broader growth, with large concentrations of older adults in the Las Vegas metro and Reno-Sparks area, as well as smaller communities spread across rural counties. The state's desert climate and mix of high-rise condominiums, single-family homes, and retirement communities creates a wide range of aging-in-place needs. Common modifications include walk-in showers, grab bars, stairlifts, widened doorways, and ramp installations that help residents remain safely in their homes as mobility changes. This directory lists contractors serving Nevada communities, including those holding the Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) credential from the National Association of Home Builders.
Medicaid & State Programs
Nevada Medicaid offers Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers that may help qualifying low-income residents cover the cost of home modifications necessary to remain in their own homes rather than moving to a care facility. Eligibility is based on income, assets, and level of care need. Covered services and specific waiver programs can change, so contact the Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division (ADSD) or your local Area Agency on Aging to verify current eligibility requirements and which home modification services may be covered under available waivers. They can also connect you with care coordinators who assist with the application process.
Other Funding Options
Veterans in Nevada may qualify for federal VA programs including the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant, the Special Housing Adaptation (SHA) grant, or the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) benefit, which help cover accessibility modifications for service-connected disabilities. Rebuilding Together has chapters in Nevada that provide free or low-cost modifications for qualifying low-income homeowners. Some county-level community development programs also offer assistance — check with your county's housing or community services office. Costs vary by project — request multiple written quotes.
Building Codes & Permits
Most Nevada home modifications require permits when structural changes are involved, such as widening doorways, installing ramps that exceed 30 inches in height, or attaching stairlifts to load-bearing walls. Bathroom remodels typically require a plumbing permit. Nevada's incorporated cities and counties each administer their own permit offices — Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, and other municipalities may have different fee schedules and inspection requirements. Confirm permit requirements with your local building department before beginning any modification work.
Typical Project Costs
Aging-in-place project costs in Nevada are generally aligned with national averages, though labor costs in the Las Vegas metro area may run slightly higher. Typical ranges: grab bar installation $150–$500 per bar depending on wall material and placement; tub-to-shower conversion $5,000–$15,000; stairlift $3,000–$8,000 for a straight staircase or $8,000–$15,000 for a curved configuration; full accessible bathroom remodel $10,000–$25,000. Rural Nevada projects may carry additional costs for contractor travel time. Always obtain at least two to three detailed written quotes before committing.
