Grab bars and handrails installed in Tacoma
We handle grab bar and handrail installation in Tacoma at the spot that suits the person using it, on a wall that can carry it. Placement, what's behind the wall and the product's instructions decide the job, and we don't certify accessibility, code compliance or a load rating.

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
Set the position for the person using the rail
We place the bar for how the person approaches the tub, toilet, doorway or step and where their hand falls. If an occupational therapist or designer has set the position, we follow it, and we confirm support before any opened wall is closed back up.
Confirm wall backing and attachment
The finished surface tells us nothing about support. We locate studs or blocking and use the fasteners the bar's maker specifies. If there's nothing solid where the bar needs to go, we tell you before drilling, and any opening or drywall repair is listed separately.
Keep product and code requirements specific
The product instructions and any approved plans set the installation. Where code, accessibility or care requirements apply, the designer or authority confirms them. A stud alone doesn't tell anyone what load a bar will take.
Getting a bar or rail priced
Text us the bar or rail you've picked, a photo of the wall, where you'd like it, and who will use it. If the wall is tile or plaster, say so.
Grab Bar and Handrail Installation questions in Tacoma
Can a grab bar go on any bathroom wall?
Only where there's solid support for the bar. We check before we drill.
Does installation certify an accessible or code-compliant layout?
No. A designer or the building authority confirms accessibility and code.
