Our Take
Hickey's Home Repair LLC operates from Elmhurst, a community where nearly one in five residents is 65 or older and most households own their homes - the kind of neighborhood where people tend to stay and want their places to work better as they age. The contractor focuses on bathroom remodeling, which is practical: bathrooms are where most aging-in-place modifications cluster, from grab bar installation and non-slip flooring to walk-in tubs and shower conversions that reduce fall risk and improve daily independence.
The aging-in-place services they list cover the core needs - ADA toilet installation, countertop lowering for seated access, and the kind of safety upgrades that make a real difference in how someone moves through a bathroom as balance and mobility change. Walk-in tub and shower conversions are substantive projects, not quick fixes, and early ratings suggest they handle that work competently. With a 4.8 out of 5 across 19 reviews, the sample is modest but the consistency is encouraging. A small review count means you're not seeing the contractor's full track record, but it does suggest a smaller operation that may be more responsive and detail-oriented than a high-volume outfit.
Being based in Elmhurst means they know the local housing stock - the age of homes, typical layouts, and the practical constraints of older construction. That familiarity matters when you're planning work that has to fit the bones of your house while meeting accessibility standards.
If you're thinking about making your bathroom safer and more usable, or if a walk-in tub or shower conversion would help you or a family member stay in your home longer, Hickey's Home Repair is worth calling to discuss what's possible in your space.
