Coastal Concepts Construction · Serving Southport

Aging-in-Place Modifications in Southport, NC

About 45 minutes south of the Wilmington shop, heading out US-17 through Leland to Bolivia and then east on NC-87 into Southport, closer to an hour when summer beach traffic backs up on 17.

Southport has one of the highest retiree concentrations on the North Carolina coast, and most of those homeowners moved here to stay. Walk-in shower conversions, grab bars, stair railings, and threshold work are steady jobs for us out here, written as a room-by-room scope around how you actually live in the house.

Aging-in-place work is some of the steadiest work we do, and it deserves better than an afterthought. Coastal Concepts installs grab bars, builds ramps, converts tubs to walk-in showers, and widens doorways for homeowners across Wilmington who want to stay in the house they know -- or for families making a parent's home safer.

The details are the whole job. Grab bars get anchored into solid blocking, not just drywall, because they only matter the day someone actually leans on one. Ramps get built to a slope a walker or wheelchair can really use, with surfaces that stay grippy in coastal rain and humidity. Tub-to-shower conversions get proper waterproofing behind the walls, and doorway widening gets planned around what's inside the wall before anyone commits to a price.

Costs vary widely with scope, which is exactly why every project starts with a free written estimate. We'll walk the home with you, talk through what's needed now and what's worth planning for, and put the whole scope on paper. Call (910) 239-8500.

The job was coordinated well by Brent, Office Manager. Tim, Craftsman arrived on time, discussing the project with the homeowner. He introduced Jordan, worker assisting him. Both stayed on task throughout the project. Upon completion Tim described each finished task. The work was completed as planned. The work was excellent.
