Your ADA Bathroom Installation Cost Guide

Installing, or creating, an ADA bathroom in a small business or in your home will really help those who are disabled and need the extra help to get around. These changes can be made rather easily without a lot of structural changes. However, the added benefits to you, as a business owner, or a home owner more than make up for the initial cost.

When installing an ADA bathroom there are some changes that need to take place. While, they are necessary do not necessarily need to be costly.

Access to Bathroom
The biggest cost consideration is in gaining access to the bathroom. If there is a small step in front the bathroom, a ramp must be installed. However, if the bathroom is on the second floor, an elevator might be in need. Contact a local contractor for the cost on large project such as that.

Increase Size of Stall
ADA standards say that at least one stall must be large enough for a wheelchair. This might require removing a stall to accommodate that. The cost is minimal if little cosmetic work is needed.

Railings
You must place railings in appropriate places. These railing are simply bolted to the wall and may cost $50 to $60 per railing.

Shower Modifications
A contractor will need to give estimates on modifying the shower with large shower head, bench, and railings.
