Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — completely free, no strings attached. We come to your home, assess the space, and walk you through exactly what we'd recommend and why. There's no obligation to move forward, and we won't pressure you into anything.

We believe you should have all the information before making any decisions. That's why we offer the assessment free of charge.

We serve the Greater New Orleans area, including Metairie, Kenner, New Orleans, Slidell, Chalmette, and Jefferson Parish, along with surrounding communities we can reach quickly and reliably.

If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call at (504) 329-9223 and we'll confirm right away.

Yes. Young's Quality Contracting LLC is fully licensed and insured in the state of Louisiana. We carry general liability insurance on every job, so you're protected throughout the entire installation process.

Every modification we install is built with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility standards in mind. This includes proper ramp slope ratios (1:12), minimum doorway clearances (32–36 inches), grab bar load requirements (250 lbs), and more.

ADA guidelines aren't just a box we check — they're the standard we build every project from.

Ramp cost depends on the height of your entry, the length of ramp needed, and any landings or turns required. Every project is different, which is why we do a free home assessment before quoting anything.

We'll give you a clear, itemized quote with no hidden fees after we see your home.

Standard homeowner's insurance typically does not cover accessibility modifications unless they're needed due to a covered loss (like an accident). However, some policies have riders or endorsements that may help.

We recommend calling your insurance provider directly to ask about coverage for accessibility renovations before your assessment.

Yes — several programs may be available depending on your situation:

• USDA Rural Development offers home repair loans and grants for low-income rural residents
• VA grants (SAH and SHA) are available for qualifying veterans with service-connected disabilities
• Local Area Agencies on Aging sometimes provide funding or referrals for seniors

We're happy to discuss your options during the free assessment.

It depends on the modification:

• Grab bars: typically 1–2 hours
• Wheelchair ramp: usually 1–2 days depending on size
• Doorway widening: 1–2 days per doorway
• Roll-in shower conversion: 3–5 days depending on scope

We'll give you a realistic timeline during the assessment so you know exactly what to expect.

Permit requirements vary by parish and municipality in Louisiana. Grab bars typically don't require a permit. Ramps and structural modifications like doorway widening may require one depending on your location.

We handle all permit research and filing as part of the project — you don't need to figure that out on your own.

For most jobs — grab bars, ramps, and similar work — you can stay home the entire time. For larger renovations like shower conversions or doorway widening, you may need to avoid the work area during certain phases, but you generally don't need to vacate your home.

We'll let you know upfront if anything requires you to make other arrangements.

We stand behind our work. If anything isn't right after we leave, call us and we'll come back to make it right — no hassle, no runaround. Our goal is for you to feel confident and safe in your home long after installation day.

Yes — and it's usually more efficient to do multiple doorways at once. We can assess every doorway in your home during the free visit and give you a combined quote. Doing it all at once typically saves time and reduces disruption to your home.

Yes — we install grab bars in tiled walls all the time. The key is proper anchoring into the studs or blocking behind the tile, not just into the tile itself. We core drill through tile cleanly and seal everything watertight so there's no risk of water intrusion.

We handle the full scope — demo, waterproofing, tile, drain, fixtures, and grab bars. You don't need to coordinate multiple contractors. We manage the entire project from start to finish and leave the space clean and ready to use.

Yes. We install stair lifts for both straight and curved staircases, indoors or outdoors. During your free assessment we measure your stairway, talk through seat and rail options, and handle the full installation so the lift is secure and ready to use.

A stair lift is a seated chair that rides along a rail up an existing staircase — it's for someone who can transfer into a seat but has trouble with steps. A vertical platform lift (VPL) is an enclosed platform that raises a wheelchair or scooter straight up, typically used at porch steps or split-level entries where a ramp won't fit. If you're not sure which applies to your situation, we'll help you figure it out during the free assessment.
