Courthouse Kitchens & Baths

Courthouse Kitchens & Baths operates from downtown Washington, DC, where just over one in eight residents are age 65 and older, and most households are owner-occupied - a demographic mix in which thoughtful home modifications can make a real difference in staying put safely. The firm lists itself as a general contractor, architecture firm, bathroom remodeler, and kitchen remodeler, which suggests the capacity to handle both design and construction for the kinds of projects that matter most in aging-in-place work.

Their publicly listed specialties align well with common accessibility needs: walk-in tubs and shower conversions, grab bar installation, non-slip flooring, ADA toilet installation, bathroom safety upgrades, wider doorways, and work on countertop heights and first-floor living arrangements. These are the concrete modifications that reduce fall risk, improve bathroom independence, and help people navigate their homes with greater confidence as mobility or strength changes with age.

Early ratings suggest satisfaction - they hold a 5.0 out of 5 across three reviews, though that small sample is too early to treat as a full track record. What matters more is whether they engage thoughtfully with the specific constraints of your home: older plumbing and electrical systems, the layout challenges of DC rowhouses or older apartment buildings, and the aesthetic question of how to make safety upgrades feel like natural parts of your space rather than institutional add-ons.

Given their downtown location and architecture-firm credentials, they appear positioned to tackle both the design and execution sides of aging-in-place projects - handy when you need someone who can reimagine a bathroom layout or kitchen configuration, not just install hardware. For DC homeowners and adult children considering modifications, this is worth a conversation, especially if your project involves structural or design complexity beyond straightforward grab bars and threshold adjustments.
