What Is Aging in Place Remodeling?
You may not have heard the term “Aging in Place,” but it simply means making changes to your home so you can stay there comfortably and safely as you get older—instead of moving to assisted living or relying on constant help.
At Project Build Construction & Interiors, we help you plan ahead with thoughtful upgrades that make life easier, reduce fall risks, and support independent living.
Whether you need a walk-in shower, better lighting, or just want peace of mind, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

You’re approaching retirement and want to stay in your home long-term
-
You’re helping a parent or loved one avoid falls or hospitalization

You want your home to grow with you—not against you

You’ve noticed it's getting harder to move around your house safely
