Adding Sheetrock to the Space

Progress is being made in our Aging in Place renovation. Now that demo is complete, the crew is beginning to work on making the changes to the space that will allow this couple to age in place safely.

One of the first steps is hanging the sheetrock in what will be the updated bathroom.

The crew is framing a built-in shower seat.


The new wall and entrance to the wheelchair accessible bathroom is
shown with newly installed sheetrock.



Some of the heat & air conditioning ducts needed to be relocated.


The new shower drain has been installed and the shower is being
prepped for a waterproof membrane.



Once the sheetrock is put up, the crew will cover the nails and seams with putty and will then sand the sheetrock. The next step for this aging in place remodel will be laying tile and updating the bathroom vanity to make it more accessible to the couple’s wheelchair.

Any type of lengthy renovation can be nerve-racking on a homeowner. Citadel Enterprises does everything it can to make the remodeling process as stress free as possible. Before any type of work begins, CEInc sends a questionnaire to all clients before a job begins. The answers to these questions let the crew know what steps it can take to make the renovation as easy as possible for the homeowner. Citadel Enterprises believes that open communication is the vital in any renovation.

If you’re an aging adult, perhaps it’s time to have Pete Loy, Citadel Enterprises’ Certified Aging in Place, evaluate your home. He can recommend the changes and upgrades that need to be made to ensure you Age in Place safely. Call us at (843) 884-4303.
