Creating a home that’s both comfortable and inclusive begins with the essentials—starting with the bathroom. Whether you’re aging in place, accommodating a loved one with mobility challenges, or upgrading a rental or commercial space, an ADA-compliant bathroom renovation provides safety, independence, and peace of mind.

At UCG Hawaii, we specialize in professionally designed, fully functional ADA-compliant bathroom renovations for homes, care facilities, and businesses across Hawaii. Our licensed team combines accessibility expertise, stylish design, and strict code compliance to deliver bathrooms that are both beautiful and barrier-free.

What Does ADA-Compliant Mean?

ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law that outlines design standards for accessible buildings and spaces. While the ADA is primarily required for commercial buildings and public accommodations, its guidelines are also the gold standard for residential accessible design, especially for individuals with disabilities or seniors choosing to age in place.

ADA-compliant bathroom features include:

• Wider doorways and turning radius

• Roll-in or walk-in showers

• Grab bars and safety rails

• Wheelchair-accessible vanities and sinks

• Toilets at comfort height

• Non-slip flooring and barrier-free entry

UCG Hawaii ensures every renovation is done to true ADA standards or universal design best practices, depending on your needs.

Who Benefits from an ADA Bathroom Renovation?

Accessible bathroom remodels can dramatically improve daily living for many different types of clients.

ADA bathrooms are ideal for:

• Seniors aging in place

• Families with multigenerational households

• Commercial property owners and care facilities

Whether you need full ADA compliance or a few key accessibility upgrades, our team will guide you through the options that best fit your goals and layout.

The ADA Bathroom Renovation Process

At UCG Hawaii, we guide you through every step of the renovation process with clarity and care.

1. In-Home Consultation

We meet with you (or your care provider) to assess the current bathroom, understand mobility needs, and discuss design goals.

2. Custom Design & Material Selection

We create an accessibility plan that blends compliance with comfort and style. Choose from ADA-approved fixtures, finishes, and accessories.

3. Permitting (if needed)

Depending on the scope, we handle all required permits with the City & County of Honolulu or your local jurisdiction.

4. Demolition & Build

Our crew safely removes old fixtures and installs accessible upgrades, ensuring code-compliant construction and water-safe installation.

5. Final Inspection & Walkthrough

We test all safety features, demonstrate accessibility functions, and ensure your total satisfaction.

Stylish, Accessible Design — Yes, You Can Have Both

ADA bathrooms don’t have to feel clinical or boring. With the right materials and layout, your bathroom can be both accessible and stunning.

Popular design features we offer:
