While a survey found that 92% of homeowners aged 60 to 75 want to stay in their homes as they age, only 10% are equipped with the accessibility features needed for older adults with limited mobility. According to Mark Barton, President and Production Manager at Dickey’s Remodel & Repair in Olympia, “We sort of stumbled into Aging in Place by accident when a client was brought to tears by a simple bathroom remodel that changed her life. She could now roll under a vanity mirror that was set at the right height.”
That experience opened the eyes of the team at Dickey’s, and they set out to bring their exceptional craftsmanship to seniors in Thurston County. With about 70% of their business coming from remodels and another 30% from repairs, Dickey’s tackles projects as small as installing grab bars to as large as the construction of a 1,000-ft Accessory Dwelling Unit.
Revising a bathroom to include a roll-in shower or a walk-in tub, lowering sinks and installing accessible bathing products can extend a person’s time in their home. These adjustments can be made throughout the home with the help of Dickey’s team of trustworthy, honest and experienced carpenters. “We have a fixed price business model, so customers know what their price will be upfront, and we provide a three-year warranty on our work. I’m not sure anyone in this area stands behind their work like we do,” said Barton.
The team of carpenters at Dickey’s Remodeling & Repair are easy to work with and have the training to do the job correctly the first time. According to Barton, “At the end of the day, it really is all about your people.” Dickey’s takes pride in hiring the best people and continuing their training throughout their tenure.
