Grab bar installation in your Montgomery Village home has to be done correctly. A grab bar that fails during use is far more dangerous than having none at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on the number of bars and whether backing board is needed. Montgomery Village has townhomes, condos, and single-family homes. Jacob works across all types in the community. Jacob gives you a clear quote for the full job before starting.
Yes. Jacob drills through tile with the correct masonry bits and anchors the bars into studs or backing board behind it. The tile is not damaged.
ADA-compliant grab bars are rated for 250 pounds of load. Jacob installs to this standard on every job so the bar holds when it is actually needed.
If there is a stud in the right location, yes. If not, Jacob discusses whether a backing board installation makes sense for the safety benefit.
A horizontal grab bar is installed 33 to 36 inches above the floor. Angled and vertical bars depend on the user's height and the specific grab point. Jacob follows ADA guidelines and adjusts placement to the individual's needs.
One horizontal bar in the shower at 33 to 36 inches for stability during washing. One angled or vertical bar near the entry for getting in and out. One near the toilet if that is also a concern. Jacob assesses the specific bathroom and the user's needs before placement and recommends based on what will actually be used. ADA guidelines give the positions, but the exact placement depends on the person.
Jacob uses diamond-tipped drill bits at low speed with water cooling for tile drilling. Done correctly, the hole is clean and the tile does not crack. He does not rush that step.
Yes. Multiple bathrooms in the same home are handled in one visit. It is more efficient and Jacob gives you a combined quote for the full scope rather than separate calls.
You can call first. Jacob can confirm the correct bar lengths and mounting styles for the specific locations you need before you purchase. If you have already bought bars, he checks they are rated correctly and that the wall can support them before installation begins.
Call Jacob directly at (301) 395-3831. Have an idea of which wall and height you want the bar. He checks for studs and installs blocking if none are in the right position. Serves Montgomery Village and all of Montgomery County.
