Accessibility Renovations

Accessibility renovations let people stay in homes they love as needs change: a barrier-free shower instead of a tub to climb into, wider doorways, a ramp at the entrance, lever hardware, better lighting, or a full main-floor bedroom-and-bathroom suite so stairs stop being mandatory.

The best accessibility work is planned ahead of need and looks like good design rather than medical equipment — a curbless shower reads as modern, blocking installed behind a wall today makes grab bars a ten-minute job later. Ontario offers tax credits for some of this work, including the multigenerational home renovation credit for qualifying secondary suites; quotes note where a project may qualify, and your accountant confirms the rest.
