Grab Bar Installation in Iowa City
Safe, secure support — right where it’s needed.
Installing grab bars is one of the most effective ways to enhance home safety. A well-positioned grab bar offers a secure handhold for maintaining balance when standing up or sitting down, getting in and out of the shower, or maneuvering in tricky areas.
Whether you’re aging in place, recovering from an injury, or planning ahead, grab bars give you confidence and your loved ones peace of mind. These are simple, yet effective tools that can provide much-needed support in key areas of the home to prevent slips and falls.
We handle installations on tile, fiberglass, drywall, and other surfaces using the right anchors and mounting methods to ensure stability without damaging your walls.
The Facts on Falls
- Annually, more than 1 in 4 adults aged 65+ report a fall (CDC).
- The Bathroom is the Bad Guy: Bathrooms are a high-risk location, especially during transfers (tub/shower entry/exit and on/off the toilet).
- It’s Not Just the Elderly: Nearly 235,000 people of all ages are treated in U.S. emergency rooms each year for bathroom-related injuries — and over 80% are caused by falls (CDC).
- Research shows that grabbing a bar increases balance recovery success by up to 75% in simulated slip situations (PubMed).
Installing grab bars provides safer footing and hand support for everyone, whether recovering from surgery, helping a child, or simply stepping out of a wet shower.
