Our Mission
Huntsville Senior Remodeling Pros exists to remove the single biggest barrier standing between North Alabama seniors and a safer home: finding a reliable, experienced contractor who actually specializes in accessibility work.
We are a local referral service, based right here in the Huntsville area. We do not swing a hammer, pull permits in our own name, or send a crew to your home. What we do is maintain a carefully vetted network of licensed, insured contractors who specialize in senior home remodeling - and then connect you with the right one for your specific project.
When you submit a request through our website or call our number, a specialist reviews your needs and matches you with one or more pre-screened contractors in your area. Those contractors reach out to schedule a free, no-obligation in-home assessment. You choose who you want to work with. Simple and transparent.
We believe every North Alabama family deserves honest information about what aging-in-place modifications cost, which programs can help pay for them, and what to look for in a qualified contractor. That is exactly what this website is built to provide.
Why We Started
Every single day, roughly 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 in the United States. In Huntsville and Madison County, that national trend is playing out in neighborhoods across the Tennessee Valley - in Twickenham, in Hampton Cove, in Madison Station, and in every subdivision in between. The question facing most of those families is not whether they want to stay in their homes as they age. Almost universally, they do. The question is how.
When we started talking to families navigating this process, we heard the same frustration over and over: finding a contractor who could be trusted with an aging parent's home was incredibly difficult. The general contracting market is broad, and most remodelers do not have specific training or experience with accessibility work. A poorly installed grab bar or a ramp built to the wrong slope can create more danger than it prevents. Families reported calling contractor after contractor and getting either no response, vague estimates, or workers who clearly had never dealt with ADA guidelines before.
At the same time, funding programs like VA HISA grants, Alabama Medicaid's SAIL waiver, and the City of Huntsville's CDBG program were going underutilized - because most families simply did not know they existed, and contractors were not helping them navigate the process.
We built Huntsville Senior Remodeling Pros to solve both problems at once. By building and maintaining a network of contractors who are specifically licensed, trained, and experienced in accessibility work - and by providing clear, honest information about funding options - we help North Alabama families move from "I don't know where to start" to "the right contractor is on their way" in a single phone call or form submission.
"Aging in place is not just a preference - for most seniors, it is a deeply personal goal tied to independence, dignity, and community. Our job is to make it achievable."

How We Vet Our Contractor Network
Not every contractor who wants to join our network makes the cut. Every contractor referred through Huntsville Senior Remodeling Pros must pass a four-step vetting process before their first referral - and must maintain their standing on an ongoing basis.
License Verification
Every contractor is verified as currently licensed through the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors (or the appropriate specialty board for trade-specific work such as plumbing or electrical). License numbers are checked against the state database to confirm active, current status. Unlicensed contractors are not accepted into the network under any circumstances.
- Alabama LBGC license number confirmed
- License must be current with no active suspension
- Specialty licenses verified for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work
Insurance Verification
All contractors must carry general liability insurance with a minimum policy limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence, as well as workers' compensation coverage for all employees. Certificates of insurance are collected and reviewed to confirm coverage is active and adequate.
- General liability: minimum $1M per occurrence
- Workers' comp required for any company with employees
- Certificates renewed annually
- Homeowner is never left exposed to uninsured risk
Background Check
The principals of each contracting company undergo a business background check covering criminal history, civil judgment history, and any history of contractor fraud or licensing violations. We also check with the Alabama Attorney General's consumer protection database and the Better Business Bureau for unresolved complaints.
- Criminal background review for company principals
- BBB complaint history reviewed
- Alabama AG consumer complaint database checked
- Any history of contractor fraud is disqualifying
Reviews & Experience Verification
We require contractors to provide verifiable references from past accessibility or senior remodeling projects. We also review their Google, Houzz, and Angi profiles for review patterns. Contractors with a pattern of unresolved negative reviews, especially regarding senior clients, are not admitted. CAPS designation (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist) from the NAHB is noted as a preferred qualification.
- Minimum 3 verifiable accessibility project references
- Google and third-party review profiles reviewed
- CAPS certification noted and preferred
- Ongoing reviews monitored; network standing can be revoked
Important note: While we take these steps to pre-screen contractors, we are not a licensing authority or a guaranty organization. We strongly encourage every homeowner to independently verify a contractor's license and insurance before signing any contract. We are happy to help you understand how to do that.
The Team
Huntsville Senior Remodeling Pros is run by a small, local team of home improvement and senior care specialists who live and work in the Tennessee Valley. We are not a national franchise or a faceless online lead broker. When you call our number, you reach someone who knows the Huntsville market, understands the local contractor landscape, and is genuinely invested in connecting you with the right fit.
Our team of local home improvement specialists brings backgrounds in residential construction, senior care coordination, and home modification consulting. We stay current on Alabama building codes, local permit requirements, available funding programs, and the specific challenges that come with modifying older Huntsville-area homes - from midcentury bungalows in Five Points to newer construction in Hampton Cove.
We do not publish individual names or photos because we want the focus to be on the outcome for you and your family - not on us. What matters is that when you reach out, you get a knowledgeable, local person who treats your situation with the seriousness it deserves.
Local Knowledge
We know North Alabama neighborhoods, local permit offices, and regional funding programs. Generic national advice does not serve Huntsville families the way local expertise does.
Honest Information
We publish real price ranges, explain exactly how our service works, and never pressure anyone. You deserve complete information to make the best decision for your family.
Family-First Approach
Many of our referral requests come from adult children caring for aging parents. We understand the emotional weight of these decisions and treat every inquiry with respect and empathy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Service
No. Huntsville Senior Remodeling Pros is not a contractor and we do not perform any construction, installation, or remodeling work. We are a local referral and lead generation service. Our role is to gather information about your project needs, match you with one or more pre-screened contractors from our network who specialize in that type of work, and facilitate the introduction. All actual work is performed by independent, licensed third-party contractors. You will sign a contract directly with the contractor you choose - not with us.
This is a fair and important question, and we are glad you asked. Our service operates on a referral fee model: when a homeowner we connect with a contractor completes a paid project, the contractor pays us a referral fee. This fee is paid by the contractor out of their normal business revenue - it is not added to your project cost, and it does not affect the price you are quoted. Contractors in our network benefit from receiving qualified, local leads without spending on broad advertising; homeowners benefit from a free, easy introduction to vetted local professionals. This is a standard, legal, and widely used business model in the home services industry.
Yes, completely. There is no charge to submit a request, no charge to receive contractor referrals, and no charge to have a contractor come out for a free in-home assessment. You are under no obligation to hire any contractor we refer, and we do not charge anything if you decide not to proceed. The only time money changes hands involving our service is a referral fee paid by the contractor after a project is completed - and that transaction is entirely between us and the contractor.
For requests submitted during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM), you can typically expect a contractor to reach out within 1 business day. Requests submitted on evenings or weekends are typically followed up the next business morning. In some cases - particularly for urgent safety concerns such as a fall risk - we can facilitate same-day contact. If you have a time-sensitive situation, call us directly at (256) 555-0100 rather than submitting online, and we will prioritize your request.
