How, and Why, Did Randy Stow Become a Specialty Remodeler?
Remodeling for disabilities became a reality when it came time to modify my parent’s home. Due to MS, my mother went from walking, with signs of fatigue, to wheelchair bound and needing the constant assistance from loved ones in the span of about 5 years. As a remodeler, I did what was obvious to help symptomatically. This type of approach was found to be lacking in meeting future needs as well as being cost effective. I learned from this experience the need to be educated and become a specialist in this type of remodeling. I find great satisfaction in designing and remodeling homes for those who face life's challenges. Improving a fellow citizen’s everyday existence while providing independence for their future is a rewarding profession.

How Is Home Access Solutions Able to Offer Suggestions and Solutions to Our Problems?
On our first visit, we typically spend our time with the customer and their caretaker (oftentimes the spouse) to assess their needs. When we see the need or upon request we also bring in other professionals such as Occupational and Physical Theropists to help complile information needed for a quality assessment. From the information that we gather, we can use our experience and education to recommend suggestions. Some of the factors that we consider are:

• Mobility status (cane, walker, wheelchair, limited vs. full time assistance)
• Can the customer get into the rooms of the house that he or she wishes to?
• Is the customer able to get in and out of the house with minimal stress and strain?
• Physical strength (Is the customer stronger on the right side or the left side?)
• Vision (Can the customer see well? Should the lighting to be a strong issue in the remodel?)
• Emergency exit from the home (if asleep and the smoke detector goes off, what is the quickest route out of the house?)
• Are lights, fans, light switches, plugs, phone jacks, cable jacks, computer workstations and thermostat in workable locations?
• Last, but not least, the financial status.
