Accessibility is a key feature of Garland Mill homes. We ensure that all of our projects have a stepless entry, a first-floor bedroom and bathroom and a first-floor stepless shower. It's just good design. Retrofitting access to existing homes is just as important but often requires some creative thinking. Here is an example of just such a project. This home in Dalton has a fun history as an old train station in a previous life, moved from Whitefield and set on an old stone foundation. Getting folks in and out of the house without steps proved a trick, but with some creative design and framing, we were able to do it. The mezzanine forms a nice area for the homeowners to relax in the evening over a cold drink and a game of checkers.
