What Our Clients Say
"Construction process was smooth, much quicker than anticipated, and the crew was extremely skillful with expertise in all aspects of the work—carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and tile. We are extremely happy with the end result—the kitchen is bright and feels bigger than we had anticipated."
"When Talha came over for his initial meeting, he didn't immediately ask about our budget like everyone else. He just listened to what we wanted. The renderings he created were so accurate—what we saw in the pictures is exactly what we got. Every single day when we walk into this kitchen, we smile."
"What stood out about Boss Design was that they weren't just contractors—they were designers first. The kitchen they created for us is exactly what we wanted, with plenty of cabinet space and better flow than we thought possible. They finished on time and on budget. Having one company handle everything made such a difference."

Common Questions About Aging in Place Remodeling
Investment varies significantly based on scope. A single bathroom with grab bars and a barrier-free shower differs greatly from whole-home modifications including ramps, wider doorways, and multiple room updates. We provide detailed estimates after your free home assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
No. This is actually one of the most common concerns we hear. Our approach treats safety features as design elements. Grab bars come in attractive finishes that complement your existing fixtures. Barrier-free showers look like modern spa retreats. The goal is a space that’s both safe and beautiful.
Often, yes. Some modifications like adding grab bars, installing a comfort-height toilet, or improving lighting can be done without gutting the entire space. During your assessment, we’ll discuss which approach makes the most sense for your situation and goals.
For most aging in place projects, you can remain in your home. We protect unaffected areas with barriers and floor coverings, maintain daily cleanup, and work to keep at least one functioning bathroom available throughout construction. For larger whole-home projects, we’ll discuss phasing strategies during planning.
Timeline depends on scope. A single bathroom modification might take a few weeks of construction after the design phase. More comprehensive whole-home accessibility improvements naturally take longer. We provide specific timelines during your consultation based on your particular project, so you’ll know what to expect before we begin.
Yes. We obtain and manage all necessary permits for your project, including building, electrical, and plumbing permits as needed. You don’t need to coordinate with building departments or schedule inspections. We handle the paperwork, fees, and follow-up so you can focus on your daily life.
We walk through your home identifying potential hazards and areas of concern. We discuss your specific needs, mobility challenges, and goals for the space. Then we recommend modifications for safety and accessibility and provide guidance on which changes would be most beneficial. There’s no obligation to proceed.
Absolutely. Many families start with the most critical areas (typically bathrooms) and plan additional modifications over time. We can design with future phases in mind so each update integrates seamlessly with previous work. For comprehensive projects, our whole house remodeling approach ensures design cohesion across your entire home.
