Speedy's Handyman installs grab bars in Kennewick and across the Tri-Cities: by the toilet, in the tub and shower, and at entry steps, anchored into studs or solid blocking, including through tile. We also build handrails and ramps and add non-slip treads, so you or your parents can stay safe at home.
One call, one invoice. We handle the repairs, and when your project needs plumbing, electrical or HVAC, we hire licensed pros we trust and fit them into the schedule. Call (509) 518-3320.
A grab bar is only as strong as what it's fastened to. A towel bar held by drywall anchors will pull out the first time someone puts their weight on it. ADA guidelines call for a bar and its mounting to hold 250 pounds, and we pick bars and fastening meant to meet it in homes too.
We start from ADA-style placement and then adjust it to the person who'll use the bar, because a bar at the right height for a tall husband may be wrong for his wife.
Many falls happen at the front or garage steps, not in the bathroom. We add handrails on one or both sides of entry steps, secure loose railings into solid framing, rebuild worn steps and add non-slip treads. For a doorway with a raised threshold, a threshold ramp smooths the step for a walker or wheelchair. When someone is coming home from the hospital, call early and tell us the date; we'll plan the most important items first.
We built the entry ramp in the photo so an elderly couple could get into their home safely, and in Pasco we've rebuilt worn-out wheelchair ramp decking.
Hardwired lighting and hardwired smoke or CO alarms go to our sister company, Speedy's Electrical. Battery and plug-in versions are ours.
I absolutely adore this family owned and operated business. They were fast, kind, understanding and easy to deal with!
James and his son Luke were a great team and they did an efficient job.
Excellent and quick service. Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Most horizontal grab bars go 33 to 36 inches above the floor, which follows ADA guidelines. We fine-tune the height to the person who'll use the bar after watching how they move in the room.
Yes. We first try to catch studs, sometimes by angling the bar. If the bar has to go between studs, we add solid blocking when the wall is open, or use anchors rated for grab bars. We never hang a grab bar on plain drywall anchors.
Yes. We drill tile carefully so it doesn't crack, anchor into framing or rated backing, and seal every hole against water. We've installed grab bars through bathroom tile in Richland.
Usually a horizontal bar on the long back wall and a vertical bar at the entry end for stepping in and out. A walk-in shower usually gets a vertical bar at the entry and a horizontal bar on the side wall.
