Create a space that makes you feel better

HouseWorks' home modification team solves problems that make it difficult for seniors to continue living at home. From supplying and installing the best adaptive equipment after a disabling fall to cleaning out the most cluttered homes, we can help you get the house in order. If you’re worried about timing, we prioritize jobs for hospitalized seniors so that everything is ready when they get home.

Throughout Greater Boston, HouseWorks supplies and installs the best available adaptive equipment, including grab bars, hand-held showers, and transfer aids. Our trained and experienced handymen install each piece of equipment with great care, and take into account the specific needs of each client.

We also know that little changes in the use of space, furniture arrangement, lighting, and storage can make a big difference. Still, preserving the familiar look and feel of a home is important too. That’s why we find creative ways to accomplish both.

Sometimes a house needs more than routine cleaning. Getting a hold of the situation returns a sense of control. Our Boston-based team has met every cleaning challenge imaginable with sensitivity and good judgment. At HouseWorks, we can:

• Bring order to seriously cluttered homes — Clear out attics, garages, and living spaces where accumulated possessions have gained the upper hand.
• Tackle tough cleaning jobs — Clean appliances, kitchen cabinets, floors, carpets, walls, woodwork, drapes, ceiling fixtures, and other heavily soiled or hard-to-reach areas.
• Address health-code violations — Resolve unsafe or unsanitary conditions. Our staff gains the trust and cooperation of clients facing housing or health crises associated with their living conditions.
• Prepare homes for sale — Work to help you move, whether that means cleaning out your home from attic to basement, packing your belongings, or making small repairs to increase the value of your home.

Our home modification team can do wonders. All HouseWorks cleaners and handymen are bonded and insured HouseWorks employees — thoroughly screened, trained, and skilled in gaining the trust of clients facing housing or health crises. HouseWorks’ Director of Home Modification supervises every job from start to finish, making sure our clients are well informed and satisfied every step of the way.

Also, we like to recycle and donate as much as possible. By working with a number of not-for-profit organizations in Greater Boston, we deliver donated items and obtain a receipt for the tax deductions.
