Reasonable Modification Contractor Helps Residents To Stay In Their Sacramento Homes

 

 

As an apartment repair contractor in the Sacramento Area, I have been asked to make some Reasonable Modifications to the apartment building in Cameron Park. A Reasonable Modification can come in many forms; it is a change to the residents unit, walkway, or even the access to help accommodate them.

 

The accommodation may be needed for the elderly, handicapped, or special needs. It often means that the resident can change the apartment, at their own cost and approval of management or owners. The agreement may also include the cost of returning the alterations to its original condition upon moving.

 

Today, I finish up on a shower conversion. The original tub/shower was too difficult for the woman in the apartment to get into to bathe. So rather than find a new place to live, she requested a Reasonable Modification to her bathroom. She and I worked on finding a model that worked for her needs, at a cost that she could afford.

 

We then submitted the idea to the management of the apartment for approval. It was accepted and the work proceeded. There was more to the whole process but it was a pretty simple procedure. All parties were happy upon the finalization of the project.

 

If you are in the Sacramento area and interested in finding out more about some modifications to your home, you may want to consider talking to a qualified contractor. The contractor can help explain the details, offer options, and discussed costs. Tromler Construction would be more than happy to help you in deciding if a Reasonable Modification is for you.

Surprising that the apartment complex was willing to spend the money. I suppose there might be grants/benefits to it.

Tom, this makes sense to accommodate the tenants for their personal needs.

Tom, We are making the preparations in our new home to have supports for grab bars so they can be installed later. I don't want them now but you never know what the future holds.

Tom, I just inspected a house with an "Unreasonable modification" done.  It is almost identical to your picture but instead of using the proper base like you have they merely cut the curb off of a regular shower base resulting in the floor of the shower being dead flush with the room floor.  They did have towels neatly lined up along the edge of the shower though.

With these Reasonable Modifications, the tenant is the one paying Than. The apartment community is agreeing to the changes made.

Nicely done, Tom. It's so nice to see everybody playing nicely together and the resident actually taking responsibility for their needs.  Great job working with her to find and do just the right thing and getting it approved, too!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
