Austin's older neighborhoods — Hyde Park, Allandale, Tarrytown, Northwest Hills, and many more — are full of homeowners who want to stay put. Aging-in-place remodeling is about practical, dignified changes that make daily life safer: a walk-in or curbless shower instead of a high tub wall, grab bars anchored into studs, a ramp or zero-step entry, wider doorways, and better lighting. Below are 11 remodelers and designers who publicly emphasize CAPS credentials or clear accessibility / aging-in-place work and who list Austin, Travis County, or nearby Williamson and Hays communities in their service area. Details come from each firm's own website (Oct 2026) — verify phones, credentials, and scope before you hire.

Aging-in-place tips for Austin homeowners
Do I need a City of Austin permit?
Many grab-bar installs and minor bath-safety upgrades do not require a permit. Structural changes — doorway widening, exterior ramps, residential elevators — often do. Ask your remodeler who will file, and confirm with the City of Austin Development Services Department. Rules change; verify before work starts.
What about funding help?
Some veterans may look into VA HISA grants; eligible Medicaid enrollees may have Minor Home Modification benefits through STAR+PLUS; and the Capital Area Agency on Aging can point seniors toward local programs. Remodelers sometimes help with paperwork, but they are not benefits counselors — confirm eligibility with each program.
How do I check a CAPS credential?
Ask the company who holds the CAPS designation (it is an individual credential), then look them up in the official NAHB CAPS directory when possible. Our notes flag when a firm claims CAPS on its own site.
