Grab bars and stair rails fastened to framing in Olympia
We do grab bar and handrail installation in Olympia, setting each bar where its user needs it and fastening it to framing or backing we've confirmed is there. We can also take down old hardware, patch the holes and match the paint.

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.

Homes this old often have plaster walls, which need a different anchoring method than drywall. Tell us if the wall is plaster. National Park Service, Preservation Brief 21: Repairing Historic Flat Plaster
Place the rail for the intended movement
You choose the bar or rail and where it goes, based on who uses the room and how. We check that spot against doors, fixtures, steps and the path through the room. A medical or accessibility evaluation, if you need one, comes from the right professional, and we install to it.
Anchor to verified support
Every bar needs an anchor that matches its instructions and the wall behind it. We check for framing or backing at the mounting points, since drywall alone isn't support. If backing has to go into an open wall, that gets settled, along with any plumbing or wiring, before the wall closes.
Finish the installation cleanly
Taking off an old rail leaves holes, and we fill them and match the texture and paint. Tile, painted drywall and textured walls each repair differently, so tell us the surface and whether an old bracket left marks.
Photo of the spot and the bar
Text a photo of the wall where each bar goes, the product link, and the surface. We'll confirm the anchoring and the price.
Grab Bar and Handrail Installation questions in Olympia
Can a grab bar be attached to drywall alone?
No. It goes into framing or solid backing.
Does installation determine code or accessibility compliance?
No. If your project has to meet a standard, the designer or authority sets the position and we install to it.
