Serving Novato, CA
Older housing stock, tile tub surrounds, and long hallways make Novato bathrooms exactly the places where a properly anchored bar matters. Our installers know the framing patterns in these homes and carry backing plates for the fiberglass surrounds that are common here.

What people say after the install
The installer found that our old bar was screwed into nothing but drywall. He showed me the hole. Two new bars went in the same visit, into the studs, and he hung off both of them before he left. I have used them every day since.
My father was discharged on a Thursday and they were at the house Friday morning. Bathroom and the front step. The quote did not change between the phone call and the invoice, which is not something I take for granted anymore.
The therapist who came out spent an hour and told us we only needed two bars, not the five another company had quoted. She also moved our bath mat and changed a light bulb. Honest people.
Straight answers, no hedging
How much does grab bar installation cost?
Most single-bar installs land between $150 and $250 including the bar, and multi-bar bathrooms are quoted as a package. Tile, fiberglass, and walls with no usable framing take longer and cost more. You get the total in writing before we drill anything — the number we quote is the number you pay.
How fast can you come out?
Most customers are scheduled within the same week. Hospital and rehab discharges get priority, so tell us the discharge date when you call and we will work around it.
Can a grab bar go on a tile wall?
Yes. Tile is routine for us. We drill with diamond or carbide bits at low speed, seal every penetration with silicone, and anchor into the framing behind the tile. The risk is cracking, which is a technique problem, not a tile problem.
What if there is no stud where the bar needs to go?
That is common, and it is the reason so many DIY installs fail. We either open a small section of wall to add solid blocking and patch it, span the studs with a backing plate, or use a code-rated toggle system tested to 250+ lb. Which one depends on the wall — we tell you before we start.
How much weight will the bar hold?
We install to a 250 lb static load minimum, which is the ADA standard. In practice a stud-mounted bar with proper fasteners holds considerably more. We load test each bar in front of you at the end of the visit.
Do I need to buy the grab bars first?
No. We carry standard lengths and finishes on the truck. If you want a specific finish or a decorative bar, buy it and we will install it — as long as it is a real load-rated bar and not a suction-cup product.
One bathroom fall can change everything.
Most of our installs are done in a single visit, often within the same week. Call now or request a time that works for your family.
