Most families don't think about home safety until something happens. A fall or a home hazard can impact quality of life and independence for those desiring to age in place.
The good news is that a fall or other hazards can be preventable.
Popular aging in place modifications to a home can be as simple as installing grab bars, better lighting, and tacking down lose rugs just to name a few.

Worried about cost? Most home safety fixes cost a fraction of a single ER visit or hospital stay after a fall — and they're a one-time investment in staying independent.

What our customers say
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We listen to your needs and tailor our services to meet them.
Rick and his son's did an AMAZING job adding a bathroom in the second level of our Airbnb. The best part was how quickly the project went. We had a specific amount of time to complete the project and they met every timeline.

Rick is the best handyman! I don’t think there is anything he can’t do. He is quick, efficient, on time and very honest. I highly recommend Papa Rick!

Papa Rickles (Rick) is a great jack of all trades! He has put in bathroom cabinets, shower doors, and lots of small things like calking the kitchen sink, hanging shelving over the tub, and more for our family. He is trustworthy, cleans up after himself, and just a regular nice guy! You will not be disappointed! 😊

My sister and I have used Papa Rickels for various home repair projects over the past 3 years including wall repair and repainting, baseboard installation, and installing grab bars and light fixtures. Rick is easy to work with, does an excellent job, and has always been very reasonably priced.
