Grab bar installation · Ocoee, FL

Grab bar installation in Ocoee

Ocoee is home to west Orange County's hospital, and plenty of Ocoee families plan a bathroom around a homecoming. We install grab bars that hold, at $185 per bar installed.

Ocoee homes, next door to Winter Garden

Ocoee sits in west Orange County between Winter Garden and Orlando, with older neighborhoods around downtown and Starke Lake and newer subdivisions farther out. We put bars where people actually reach: at the shower or tub entry, along the shower wall, and beside the toilet.

Orlando Health – Health Central Hospital is on West Colonial Drive in Ocoee, and the Orlando Health Advanced Rehabilitation Institute is nearby on Hempel Avenue. If someone is coming home from either one, a bar at the shower and one beside the toilet make the first weeks easier. If a therapist has recommended bars, bring their notes and we'll place the bars to match.

Block homes and newer construction

Many older Ocoee homes are concrete block with drywall inside and original tile in the bathroom, which takes masonry anchors set in solid block. Newer homes usually have drywall or cement board behind tile, or fiberglass and acrylic surrounds. 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.

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.

Warranty, and who we are

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.
