Wheelchair accessibility includes re-positioned cabinets, roll-in showers, wider doorways, special hardware and assistive devices, security and safety measures, and public buildings...the list is long. AM ABLE draws on 30 years in the construction industry and adds its own specialized knowledge of home modifications for disabled persons. AM ABLE's goal is to design and create the most barrier-free, accessible living environment possible, benefiting not only their client, but also the caregivers (often family members), and life partners.

           Robert D. Novick, owner and president, traces the beginnings of this specialty to the challenges he faced many years ago trying to adapt the house of his aging parents so they could remain at home despite their limitations. As a California licensed general contractor, and a Fellow of the American Board of Disability Analysts, Mr. Novick meets with his clients, their family members and friends, attendants, and/or physical and occupational therapists. He conducts in-home evaluations, observing the client's abilities, discussing barriers he has identified, and then offering recommendations for modifications of the environment. In doing so, Bob Novick provides an assessment for prioritizing the suggested remodeling or general construction to meet the individual's budget. Finally, he personally oversees the actual construction by his own employees.
