3 Birds Accessibility Tub to Shower Conversion

When a few steps become a barrier, our wheelchair ramp service in Greater Pittsburgh is here to turn that challenge into freedom. We help older adults and their caregivers regain safe, easy access to homes and buildingswithout complicated jargon or delays.We start with a free in-home consultation anywhere in the Pittsburgh area. One of our accessibility specialists visits your residencewhether in Squirrel Hill, Aspinwall, McKeesport, Oakmont, or the North Hillsand measures the entryway, slope, and surrounding space. We carefully assess thresholds, porch height, step count, and terrain, listening to your preferences and mobility needs. This walk-through is the foundation: it ensures your ramp will be tailored, secure, and safe from day one.After the consultation, we design a custom ramp solution. Because no two homes are identicalespecially in Pittsburgh with its hills, narrow lots, and older housesour modular ramps are built flexibly. We offer straight ramps, switchback layouts, curved ramps, threshold ramps, and even foldable / portable ramp options. Every design aims to match your homes architecture, minimize disruption, and keep the ramp visually fitting. Our ramps are made with weather-resistant aluminum or other durable materials, so they stand up to snow, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles common in southwestern Pennsylvania.Once the design is finalized, our local installation crew steps in. The team is licensed, insured, and trained to work carefully inside your home and around your property. They install footings, anchor supports, handrails, and ramp decking, all while treating your property respectfully. We aim to complete most residential ramp installations in a single day, whenever possible. After installing, we conduct safety checks: confirm slope, test stability, and make sure handrails and transitions are smooth.We dont just install a ramp and disappear. We offer ramp maintenance and repair services across the Pittsburgh region. If snow or ice affects grip, or bolts loosen over time, or damage appears, caregivers or residents can call us to inspect and address it. We also provide advice on cleaning, seasonal upkeep, and how to proactively protect your ramp for safe year-round use.To make access more feasible, we also offer ramp rental or rent-to-own options for temporary needs. Say someone is recovering from surgery or using a walker temporarilyour ramp rentals allow flexibility until full mobility returns. In those cases, we deliver, set up, and later remove or adjust the ramp as needed.Heres what sets us apart:Local presence, local understanding: We know Pittsburghs terrain, weather conditions, and the quirks of its older homes. That insight ensures our ramps are safe, dependable, and built for this region.Personalized design over cookie-cutter models: We dont force one-size-fits-all solutions. Each ramp is configured for each homes slope, layout, and residents abilities.Fast installation with minimal disruption: In many cases, we can install your ramp within days after the consultation. We aim for smooth, clean, respectful work that doesnt turn your home upside down.Longevity and safety in every detail: Materials, handrails, anti-slip surfaces, structural componentsall are chosen for long life and safe use through all Pittsburgh seasons.Ongoing support: Were available for repairs, inspections, or adjustments over time. You wont be left to guess how to care for the ramp yourself.By offering free consultations, custom design, professional installation, maintenance, and rental options, we make the ramp process simple for seniors and caregivers. We remove uncertainty so families focus less on logistics, and more on living well.  Give us a call today!

When your bathroom becomes harder to use, 3 Birds Accessibility makes restoring safety, comfort, and dignity simple. We specialize in accessible bathroom remodeling in the Greater Pittsburgh area, helping seniors and caregivers transform bathrooms into places that support independence, not risk.Everything begins with a free home assessment. One of our accessibility experts visits your home, looks at your current bathroomshower, tub, flooring, layoutand talks through whats working, whats dangerous, and what youd like to change. We listen to your mobility needs, whether you use a walker, wheelchair, or need help with bathing, and note how you move through the space every day. We evaluate thresholds, existing plumbing and wall structure, doorway widths, and how water drainsall so we know what modifications are needed to make the bathroom safe and usable.From that assessment, we create a custom design plan built around your priorities: safety, ease of use, aesthetics, and long-term value. Maybe you want a barrier-free or curbless (roll-in) shower so theres no step to climb. Perhaps a walk-in tub with a door and seating makes more sense. We help choose fixtures like comfort-height toilets, grab bars in the right spots, handheld showerheads, non-slip flooring, and sinks or vanities placed at heights that work for you. We consider lighting and contrast so things are visible and safe, and ensure the layout allows enough space to move around, even with mobility aids.Next comes the remodeling work, carried out by our licensed, insured team. We handle everythingfrom removing old fixtures, doing plumbing and electrical adjustments, to installing new surfaces, showers, tubs, flooring, and doors. Our accessible shower units are often from reputable manufacturers (e.g. BestBath) that offer safety features and durable materials. We make sure showers have seats or benches, grab bars, non-slip textures, and easy access. If its a walk-in tub or a tub cut-out option, those are installed with attention to sealing, safety rails, and user comfort.After installation, we do a final safety check together with you. We test everything: are floors level (or properly sloped), are doorways wide enough, are grab bars sturdy, can you enter and exit the shower or tub easily, does everything feel stable. We make sure that the fixtures you need are reachable and that nothing still feels unsafe.We also offer maintenance, follow-up, and upgrade services because needs change: joints loosen, surfaces degrade, grips wear down. If you need additional grab bars, better lighting, or a switch from a tub to a walk-in shower later, we can do that. Our goal is that your bathroom continues to be safe, usable, and comfortable over many years.Every step of the way, we use accessible remodeling best practices (sometimes including ADA standards where appropriate) but do so in a way that respects your homes current style. Beautiful finishes, helpful design touches, and finishes you like are part of what we donot something extra you have to settle for.Because Pittsburgh homes come in all shapes and agessome with tight bathrooms, historic layouts, or awkward angleswe work with what you have. Sometimes that means clever design adjustments instead of full demolition. Sometimes the best path is a partial update that focuses where risk is greatest (like converting a tub to a step-free shower), rather than redoing the entire space.Heres what clients tell us matters most: feeling safe when getting in or out of the shower; less fear of slipping or falling; easier help for caregivers; comfortykou want a bathroom youre not dreading using or helping in. At the end of a project, people often say its more than a remodelit restores peace of mind.If you or a loved one are ready to make your bathroom safer, more accessible, and more comfortable, 3 Birds Accessibility is here. Well help you see what is possible in your unique spaceand then build it with care, quality, and respect.
