Sam Pitzulo Homes & Remodeling was the first company in the Mahoning Valley to become a Certified Aging in Place Specialist,
or C.A.P.S. for short. This certification administered by the National Association of Home Builders, educates builders in accessible building & remodeling techniques. We can preform a wide variety of accessible modifications to your existing home or help you design a new home with an eye on future needs.

Aging-in-place  means living in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level. It addresses the need to remodel your existing home or design a new home.

 We offer many options to customize a barrier free home:

• Attractive ramps or a zero-step entrance for the home.
• Handrails at existing steps and porches.
• Fewer or no stairs
• Raised dishwasher.
• Revolving corner shelves and pull-out shelves.
• Attractive grab bars in the shower.
• Lever handles on faucets.
• Slide-bar-type hand-held shower, for sitting or standing.
• Shampoo nooks inset in the wall.
• Curbless showers so that there is nothing to step over, these are wheelchair accessible.
• Anti-scald, temperature and pressure balanced tub shower valves for safer bathing.
• Widened entry doors to at least 32.”
• Higher toilets.
• Lower light switches and thermostats; raised outlets.
• Elevator.

These are just a few examples. Virtually all rooms of your house can be improved, even closets and garages.
