Transformation Tuesday- Roll in Shower
Happy Tuesday!
Today I want to show you how we transformed a small, cramped bathroom into a spacious roll in shower.
Click on the slideshow below to see this weeks Transformation ...
The purpose of a roll in shower is essentially that there are NO barriers. It is an open layout design.
Notice in the images above that there is a drain in the shower. Where the drain is, there is a slight slope, which allows the water to flow directly into the drain and keep the rest of the bathroom floor dry.
Other equipment shown are the grab bars and ADA toilet. There is a standard grab bar by the toilet as well as a flip grab bar. This gives our client the help she needs to transition to and from the toilet. Lastly, an ADA height toilet makes all of the difference. These toilets are higher than standard toilets, which helps our client significantly.
Remember, all of these modifications are made to improve our clients quality of life. An ADA home gives our clients INDEPENDENCE to do as much as they can at home, and to STAY at home.

Bathroom Renovation Tips that Make Cleaning a Breeze
What if I told you that one day, you may enjoy cleaning your bathroom?
Would you call me crazy?
In this article from Houzz, Becky Harris talks about her recently renovated bathroom and how much easier it is to clean it.
If you think about it, these renovations can make a big difference.
- Having a hand held shower makes it easy to rinse the shower area.
- Wall mounted toilet and sinks are the best! They take up little space and give you an open layout. This makes it so much easier to clean the floor, since there is less stuff in the way.
- Also, take into consideration the premium quality materials we use in bathroom remodels. BFA LLC, always double waterproofs bathrooms and use mold and mildew resistant grout. We also look for tile that is low maintenance and non slip.
When your bathroom is properly renovated with modern materials and technology, you will want to be in there more and it will be a lot easier to keep clean.

Ceiling Lifts 101
Arjo Huntleigh Ceiling Lift System installed by BFA, LLC.
Ceiling lifts are a godsend for caregivers and clients who want to be independent in their homes. There are ceiling lifts for every need and every budget.
Since this equipment is meant to lift a person and transfer them to another room, you want to make sure it is reliable, sturdy and is able to complete the services you need. Also, take into consideration that ceiling lifts are long term solutions, thus you should think about this as an investment.
The most important parts of ceiling lifts are the quality and the installation. BFA LLC. is a certified dealer and installer for ARJO Huntleigh premium quality lifts. We have been working with these equipments for years and they are hospital grade, so we know they are sturdy.
Ceiling lifts have different forms of installation, so there are lots of things an installer needs to consider structurally before hand.
In above images, the lift is installed next to our clients bed and has a ceiling track that goes to the bathroom. This gives our client independence to transfer from her bed to the bathroom and back.
The installation for this ceiling tract required our team to go to the attic in order to securely bolt it. After the installation is completed, our technician needs to do a series of tests with weights around the whole track.
As you can see, ceiling lifts are a great investment, but you want to make sure that the provider is knowledgeable and has expertise with this equipment.
Do you have any questions? Want to know more about the kinds of lifts we provide?

Why use HARMAR Premium Stair lifts?
Commercial grade
- No maintenance required
- Hassle-free unit
- We do not have to repair these lifts due to their premium quality part and electronics.
- Made in the USA
- This means that parts and customer service are accessible and fast.
- An investment that will last a lifetime.
... But, why not use the cheaper brands on the market?
- Parts are made in other countries, which makes it more difficult to get parts and assistance.
- Bad quality
- The materials and electronics are low quality. This causes a lot of malfunctions and problems with the lift.
- Repairs are needed after 1 year of installation.
- Overall, this is more of a nightmare than an investment.
Lastly, HARMAR has three different Pinnacle Stair lift units, for three different budgets. All are premium quality and professional installed by a certified technician.
