Grab Bar Installation in Winter Springs, FL
Four grab bars for a Winter Springs homeowner, shown here on beige shower tile with a mosaic strip and on white subway tile.
What the customer needed
The day before Halloween 2025, a Winter Springs homeowner had us install four grab bars. Winter Springs began as the Village of North Orlando in 1959 and now takes in Tuscawilla, with the Cross Seminole Trail running through town; lots of its houses date from the 1970s through the 1990s and are ready for a few well-placed bars.
The finished install
1. Finished. The vertical bar beside the shower valve, where the door opens. 
2. Finished. The vertical bar on white subway tile, near the doorway. 
3. Finished. The horizontal bar on the shower side wall.
What we did
Three of the four bars are pictured. In the glass-door shower with beige tile and a multicolor mosaic strip, a vertical bar sits right beside the shower valve at the edge where the door opens, a handhold for stepping in and for steadying yourself while you adjust the water. A horizontal bar on the side wall, just above the mosaic strip, gives support while showering. A third, vertical bar is mounted on white subway tile under a gray-and-white marble mosaic band, at the end of the tiled wall near the doorway. Every bar 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
