Grab bar installation · Lake Nona, Orlando

Grab bar installation in Lake Nona

Lake Nona homes are new, and new bathrooms rarely have blocking where a grab bar belongs. We mount bars to hold anyway, for families, parents moving in, and veterans near the Orlando VA, at $185 per bar installed.

Lake Nona: new homes near Medical City

Lake Nona is part of the City of Orlando, mostly in ZIP codes 32827 and 32832. In both, about nine in ten homes were built since 2000 (89% and 94%). It's a young area, with 12.5% and 6.1% of residents 65 or older, so the need often comes from families with a parent moving in (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 estimates).

Lake Nona Medical City includes UCF Lake Nona Hospital, Nemours Children's Hospital, and the Orlando VA Medical Center. Del Webb Sunbridge, a 55+ community just south in St. Cloud, is a few miles away.

Grab Bar Heroes is veteran-owned through HandyMangum. If you're a veteran, the VA's HISA grant may help pay for grab bars, and we provide an itemized invoice for the paperwork. See the FAQ on our home page.

New construction, and why blocking matters

Newer Lake Nona and Sunbridge bathrooms usually have drywall or cement board behind tile, or acrylic shower units, and builders rarely add blocking unless the buyer asks. We fasten into studs or blocking when they're where the bar belongs. When they aren't, we mount with commercial-grade grab bar fasteners. Their maker rates them for up to 600 lbs in drywall with tile and builds them to exceed building codes and ADA guidelines.

Building now? Ask your builder to add blocking behind the shower, tub, and toilet walls before the drywall goes up. Then bars can go exactly where you want them later.

What’s included at $185 per bar

• Included: installing each grab bar, with all mounting hardware
• Included: a placement walk-through before we drill, from techs who know the ADA guidelines (33 to 36 inches to the top of the bar, with the whole installation built to hold 250 lbs)
• Included: a lifetime workmanship warranty and a free one-year check-up
• Included: an itemized invoice listing each bar, where it went, and the cost, for HSA/FSA, VA, or Medicaid paperwork
• Most grab bars bought for home use in Florida are sales-tax free (bars $100 or less).
• Not included: the grab bar itself. Use your own, or we can supply one at extra cost.

Why it matters: the CDC reports that about one in four adults 65 and older falls each year, and wet bathroom floors and hard edges make the bathroom a common place to slip. A bar that’s anchored right is there when someone reaches for it. Our bathroom safety guide covers where bars help most.

Every bar we install comes with our lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own your home: if a bar loosens because of how we installed it, we fix it free. The bar itself is covered by its maker’s warranty, and damage, misuse, and pre-existing wall problems aren’t covered.
