Modern Age: Renovations for Aging in Place
At Centoni Development and Restoration, we believe that aging in place does not have to mean compromising on style, comfort, or modern living. As home renovation specialists, we prioritize thoughtful, design-build solutions that allow homeowners to stay in the places they love—safely, without sacrificing style. Centoni is about creating smart, functional, and attractive spaces that increase both livability and home value – for the short and long term.

Safety with Sophistication
Aging at home should feel like an upgrade, not a limitation. That’s why our team takes a modern, lifestyle-oriented approach to every project. We work closely with homeowners to anticipate future needs while prioritizing contemporary design aesthetics. With thoughtful and customized features, your home can adapt to every stage of life—seamlessly blending safety with sophistication. Whether it's reimagining a master suite or upgrading a kitchen for efficiency, ease and accessibility, we design for longevity and livability.
Below are just a few home accessibility modifications and possibilities to prepare your home to age in place:
- Main-Level Living Conversions – Creating or optimizing first-floor rooms and bathrooms can eliminate the need for daily stair use and enhances accessibility.
- Bathroom Redesigns – Replacing a standard bathtub with a safer alternative is often a priority. Stall showers with a build-in bench seat or a walk-in tub can offer independence while, and a spa like experience. The addition of decorative grab bars and hand showers can make bathing safe and convenient.
- Smart Home Integration – Automated lighting, voice-activated assistants, smart thermostats, smoke/CO2 detectors, and security systems make living at home easier and more secure.
- Kitchen Accessibility Upgrades – Pull-out shelves, touch-less faucets, lower countertops and appliances, and induction cooktops—modern enhancements that make cooking safe and enjoyable for all abilities.
- Rethinking Stairs – Stairs can become an obstacle to mobility and accessibility around the home. At Centoni, we can design and build safe alternatives including code compliant handrails and guardrails, and mechanical systems as needed.
- Walkways and Ramps – Entering and existing your home should be safe and convenient. The aesthetic of your home does not need to be compromised when custom interior and exterior solutions are designed. At Centoni, our design team will help guide you to a sensible and functional alternative to stairs.

Strategic Investment
Renovations like those above offer improved functionality, and are strategic investments. They allow homeowners to avoid the high costs of assisted living, maintain independence, and significantly boost the resale value of their homes. Increasingly, buyers are looking for homes that accommodate multi-generational living and future accessibility, making these updates more relevant than ever.
