A threshold that is half an inch high is an invisible trip hazard to a fully mobile person and a significant obstacle to a person using a walker or wheelchair. Eliminating trip hazards at thresholds, transitions between flooring materials, and raised areas throughout the home is one of the most targeted fall prevention measures available, addressing the specific points where falls happen rather than the whole home.
A threshold that is half an inch high is an invisible trip hazard to a fully mobile person and a significant obstacle to a person using a walker or wheelchair. Eliminating trip hazards at thresholds, transitions between flooring materials, and raised areas throughout the home is one of the most targeted fall prevention measures available, addressing the specific points where falls happen rather than the whole home. Our handyman specialists lower thresholds, install flush transition strips, and eliminate raised trip hazards throughout the home so every floor surface is navigable safely.

ADA guidelines specify that door thresholds should not exceed half an inch in height, with the leading edge beveled at a maximum 1:2 slope, for wheelchair and walker passage. Residential thresholds are frequently an inch or more, high enough to catch a shuffling foot or a walker wheel. Flooring transitions between rooms, where carpet meets tile or hardwood meets vinyl, create similar trip risks when the transition strip is raised rather than flush or ramped. Kaminskiy Care and Repair’s handyman specialists assess every threshold and transition in the home, replace raised thresholds with flush or low-profile alternatives, and install ramped transition strips at every flooring height change. With crews across the United States, a floor plan without trip hazards is a call away.
Trip hazard elimination requires identifying every raised transition in the home, not just the obvious ones at exterior doors. Our handyman specialists walk every path of daily travel in the home and identify every threshold, transition strip, and floor height change that creates a trip risk.
We walk the paths of daily travel, bedroom to bathroom, living room to kitchen, interior to exterior, and identify every threshold and transition that creates a trip risk.
Thresholds are lowered to a maximum half-inch height with a beveled leading edge, the ADA standard that allows wheelchair and walker passage without obstruction.
Exterior door thresholds that are lowered for accessibility are fitted with appropriate weatherstripping so the thermal and weather seal is maintained after the height is reduced.
We stand behind our threshold and trip hazard removal workmanship.

Most serious falls at home happen in bathrooms and on stairs, and most are preventable with hardware: grab bars anchored into structure, solid railings on both sides, better lighting and thresholds eased flat. Small jobs, done in a visit, that change the odds.
A grab bar that is screwed into drywall is a decoration that will fail on the worst possible day. Ours are anchored into framing or backed properly, rated for real weight, because the whole point is what happens when someone actually grabs it.
