        "text": "Yes, incorporating accessibility features during initial construction is much simpler and more cost-effective than retrofitting later. We frequently incorporate zero-threshold curbless showers, wider doorway framing (at least 32 to 36 inches of clear passage), comfort-height toilets, and lever-style faucets. During the framing stage, we can install solid wood backing blocks behind drywall and tile walls to support secure grab bars and shower seating either immediately or down the road. These adjustments deliver a clean, modern aesthetic while ensuring long-term safety and ease of use.",
