Grab Bar Installation in Apopka, FL
Two square-profile grab bars for an Apopka homeowner, set on white tile around a tub with a shower.
What the customer needed
At the end of March 2025, as spring birding season wound down out on the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, an Apopka homeowner had us install two grab bars in their tub and shower. The bars are a squared-off, modern style, and the job was to give solid handholds at the two spots that matter most in a tub: getting in and standing up.
The finished install
1. Finished. The horizontal bar along the back wall, under the window. 
2. Finished. The vertical bar at the tub entry, beside the controls.
What we did
Both bars are on the white square tile around the tub. A horizontal bar runs along the back wall under the window, above the tub, for support while standing in the shower or sitting down and getting up from the tub. A vertical bar sits on the tiled end wall at the tub entry, beside the shower valve and handheld shower, where a hand naturally goes when stepping over the tub edge. The square profile matches the clean lines of the bathroom. Both bars went in to our install standard below.
Our install standard
- Every bar secured into studs or blocking, or with fasteners rated for grab bar loads, so the installation holds 250 lb
- ADA guideline height (33 to 36 inches to the top of the bar) unless the customer’s needs differ
- Every hole sealed and every bar pull-tested before we leave
- Photos of the completed work, as proof for the customer and the warranty
