Why Choose Bromwell Construction?
Experienced Residential Contractors
With over 25 years of experience, Bromwell has a proven track record of delivering high-quality home remodels that stand the test of time and respect the history that's already imbued in your treasured home. We’ve worked with homeowners across Delaware and Pennsylvania, tailoring each project to meet the unique demands of current and future circumstances.
Design-Build Excellence
Our integrated design-build model streamlines the entire process, from concept to completion. By managing both the design and construction phases, we eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional methods, resulting in faster project timelines and cost savings for our clients.
Local Expertise
As a Delaware-based company, we are deeply familiar with the local market, building regulations, and permit processes. This knowledge ensures that every project complies with state and municipal codes while staying on schedule.
Client-Centered Approach
Clear communication and collaboration are key to a successful project. Our team provides regular updates, transparent budgeting, and personalized service to ensure you are informed and confident throughout the entire process.
Accessibility Solutions Built for Everyday Living
Every aging in place remodel we do is tailored to the homeowner to improve safety, comfort, and daily function without compromising on design. Our design-build process provides complete flexibility to customize to your vision and preferences. Some of the most common elements we incorporate include:
Curbless Showers
A curbless shower eliminates the step-over barrier, reducing the risk of slips and falls. It also makes bathing easier for anyone using a walker or wheelchair.
Widened Doorways
Wider doorways allow for smoother movement throughout the home, especially for those using mobility aids like wheelchairs or walkers. We adjust framing and trim to maintain the look of your home while subtly increasing accessibility.
Open Floor Plans
Open layouts create more usable space, improve visibility, and eliminate tight corners or obstacles. This helps with both mobility and daily flow, making the home easier to navigate now and in the future.
Stair-Free Living
Single-level living removes the physical challenge and safety risk of stairs. Whether through first-floor additions or reconfiguring existing space, we design layouts that keep everything you need on one level.
Pull-Out Shelves
Pull-out shelves reduce strain by bringing stored items within easy reach. Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and pantries, they allow you to access what you need without bending, reaching, or struggling with deep cabinets.
Easy-Use Hardware
Lever handles, touchless faucets, and D-shaped drawer pulls make everyday tasks simpler for hands that may not grip as easily.
Frequently Asked Questions About Aging-In-Place Remodeling
What home modifications help most with aging in place?
Is accessibility remodeling only for seniors?
Not at all. These modifications are often called universal design because they work for everyone. Many families choose these features to accommodate changing needs, whether it's for aging parents, post-surgery recovery, or long-term planning.
Does aging in place remodeling increase home value?
Yes, especially in markets like Delaware and Pennsylvania where many buyers value accessibility and long-term livability. These upgrades can also reduce future care costs, making them a smart investment.
How much does an accessibility remodel cost?
Costs vary based on the scope of work. Full remodels with major layout changes can range from $50,000 to well over $150,000. We provide accurate, upfront pricing during your consultation.
Start with our remodeling cost guide for an initial idea of the range of investment that corresponds with the work you have in mind.
Can you remodel an older home for accessibility?
Absolutely. Older homes often need adjustments like wider doorways, new lighting, or better bathroom access. Our design-build team specializes in working with existing layouts to create safe, seamless upgrades.

Joseph
"Bromwell Construction did a superb job in building our new living quarter. Management and the management team were professional, responsive, attentive, had great follow-up, and were very helpful in creating the architectural designs, scheduling the various work assignments, ordering materials for the new home addition and assisting with selections. We highly recommend them."
H. Inden
“We were very pleased with Frank Bromwell's company and their remodel of our bathroom. We live in a very old Victorian house in the City and they were very experienced with old city homes. His crew were great, friendly and very professional. Highly recommended.”
H. Baker
“Bromwell came out and installed a new roof and did an awesome job. I hired them back to do my windows. Start to finish, both times were an awesome experience. Everything looks awesome. Would highly recommend.”
