Install grab bars and handrails at the chosen location
A grab bar or handrail needs a suitable attachment point behind the finished wall. Hardware instructions, wall construction, and placement matter; medical and accessibility decisions belong with the person and care team choosing the location.
Solis installs the requested grab bar or handrail to its hardware instructions, using known framing or backing at the chosen point. When support requires opening the wall, Solis repairs the drywall and carries it through finish work so the surrounding surface is put back.

Find suitable support before mounting hardware
A grab bar or handrail has to fasten into framing, backing or another solid substrate, because drywall alone gives no structural support. The hardware size and the position you want have to work with the wall that's there. Where there's no backing, an opening and reinforcement get planned before the wall surface is put back.
Follow the selected product instructions
Mounting locations, fasteners and attachment points change by product and wall type, so we follow the maker's instructions for your bar or rail. Installing it is separate from accessibility design, code review or a product's performance rating.
Include the wall finish if backing must be added
Opening a wall for backing is followed by drywall patching, texture and paint, which can be part of the same job or kept separate. The bar position and any reinforcement are set first and the wall is finished after. In a Chehalis house built before 1978, cutting into painted walls falls under Washington's lead renovation rules.
Hardware and placement for a quote
The hardware model and length, where you want it, the wall type, any known framing, and whether the wall needs opening, patching or paint. Photos of both sides of the wall help.
Grab Bar and Handrail Installation questions in Chehalis
Can a grab bar be attached to drywall alone?
No. It fastens to the wall structure or to backing that suits its instructions, and a wall without either needs reinforcement before finishing.
Does handrail installation include opening and repairing the wall?
When you want it to. Mounting, backing, drywall patching, texture and paint are stages that can be combined in one agreed scope.
