Accessible Kitchens
Wheelchair-friendly kitchen remodels by our own licensed crews: lowered counters, roll-under sinks, pull-down shelving, wider walkways and better lighting. Design-build, one contractor.
Accessible kitchen remodels, built by our own crews
A kitchen is the room most families give up on first. Counters are too high from a chair, the sink has a cabinet where your knees need to go, the good pans live where you can’t reach them, and the walkway between the island and the stove is a foot too narrow. We fix all of that as one project, with one contractor — because LiveWell is a design-build remodeling company with its own licensed crews, not a dealer that has to call someone else for the walls.
What an accessible kitchen usually includes
Lowered work surfaces — a 30–34" section of counter for seated prep, or a height-adjustable run.
Roll-under sink and cooktop — open knee space, insulated pipes, side-mounted or front controls.
Pull-down and pull-out storage — upper-cabinet lifts, drawer bases instead of doors, lazy Susans in the corners.
Wider walkways and doorways — 42–48" clear between runs, 36" doors, and a 5-foot turning circle where the plan allows.
Appliances placed for reach — wall oven at counter height, side-opening doors, drawer microwave and dishwasher, front-control ranges.
Lever handles, D-pulls, touch faucets — everything works with a closed fist or one hand.
Non-slip flooring and better light — matte tile or LVP, under-cabinet task lighting, no thresholds between rooms.
Why one contractor matters
Moving a wall, running new electrical, re-plumbing a sink and setting tile are four trades. When they belong to four companies, the schedule belongs to nobody. Our crews do the demolition, framing, drywall, tile, flooring, cabinetry and finish work, and the same project manager is on site from the first day to the punch list.
Who this is for
Wheelchair and scooter users, people recovering from a stroke or a hip or knee replacement, families caring for a parent who wants to keep cooking, and anyone planning to stay in the home they love. Many of our kitchen projects are paired with an accessible bathroom, wider doorways, or a home elevator so the whole house works.

Design and a written proposal. Layout, cabinet plan, finishes and a firm price — no allowances that balloon later.

Common questions
Questions we hear about Accessible Kitchens
Do we have to move out during a kitchen remodel?
Usually not. Most accessible kitchen projects run two to four weeks and we set up a temporary prep area with the sink or a utility sink available whenever the plan allows.
Can you lower only part of the counter?
Yes. A single lowered section for seated prep is the most common request and keeps the rest of the kitchen standard height for other family members.
Do you do the cabinets and the plumbing too?
Yes. Cabinets, countertops, plumbing, electrical, tile, flooring, drywall and paint are all our own crews — it is one project with one contractor.
Will insurance or a grant pay for this?
Medicare does not pay for home modifications. The VA HISA grant, Texas Medicaid waiver programs and some workers’ compensation claims can. We will tell you honestly what applies during the free visit.
