We work with homeowners, occupational therapists, rehabilitation professionals, insurers, legal teams, equipment providers and public-sector programs to turn functional needs into practical, buildable solutions.

HOME MODIFICATION

Built Around the Person. Planned for the Future.

Successful home modification should meet current needs while accounting for future changes in mobility, care, and accessibility.

Iron Shake coordinates construction with functional recommendations, existing site conditions, specialized equipment, design requirements and long-term accessibility in mind. Projects can range from a ramp or bathroom conversion to major structural alterations, elevators, additions or an entirely new accessible home.

How It Works

From Functional Need to Completed Construction

Understand the Need

02
03
Build & Verify

Iron Shake manages construction, communication, quality control, deficiencies and completion through the final walkthrough and project closeout.

ACCESSIBLE PREFAB & NEW HOMES

WHEN RENOVATION ISN'T THE RIGHT ANSWER

Accessible Prefabricated & New Home Solutions: Body Copy = Some homes cannot be modified economically or functionally enough to support long-term accessibility.

Iron Shake can help evaluate and deliver accessible new-build and prefabricated solutions that incorporate mobility, caregiver, equipment and future-access requirements from the beginning.

Our leadership brings experience from the delivery of 600+ prefabricated homes, providing a strong foundation for projects where a new accessible residence is the better long-term solution.

FOR PROFESSIONAL & FUNDED PROJECTS

Construction Delivery Built for Complex Files

Home modifications often involve more than construction. They require coordination between the individual & family, clinical professionals, funding organizations, designers, specialty-equipment providers & multiple trades.

Iron Shake supports professionally managed and funded home-modification projects with clear scopes, coordinated estimating, documented changes, scheduling, specialty-provider coordination and structured project closeout.

OT & Rehabilitation Collaboration

We work with registered occupational therapists and rehabilitation professionals to ensure construction responds to identified functional requirements.

Scope & Cost Control

Clear scopes, estimates, alternatives and change management help keep project decisions understandable and accountable.

Trade & Equipment Coordination

Iron Shake coordinates construction trades with lift, elevator, mobility and specialty-equipment providers so the complete solution works together.

Project Review & Reporting

We can act as the general contractor, design/build coordinator or construction project-review consultant depending on the requirements of the file.

Future-Focused Planning

Where appropriate, projects consider anticipated mobility, caregiver and equipment needs to reduce the risk of avoidable reconstruction later.

Occupied-Home Sensitivity

Construction is planned with attention to resident safety, privacy, access, communication and disruption while work is underway.
