CAPS-Certified Universal Design Specialists Serving Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm & Surrounding Communities
Universal design is a way of building and remodeling homes so they stay safe, comfortable, and beautiful for everyone — no matter your age, height, or physical ability. It is the foundation of aging-in-place remodeling, which helps Thurston County homeowners stay in the homes they love as their needs change over time.
At Integrity Property Services, we are Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS) trained by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). We design and build modifications that look like upgrades, not medical equipment — wider doorways, curbless showers, lever handles, brighter lighting, and grab bars that blend in like elegant fixtures.
If you live in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, or anywhere in Thurston County and want to stay in your home for the long run, a CAPS consultation is the right place to start.
Every aging-in-place remodel we complete in Thurston County is guided by the seven principles of universal design. These principles ensure your home works for you today, tomorrow, and decades from now.
1. Equitable Use — Everyone uses the same beautiful entrance, shower, and kitchen. No separate "accessible" version.
2. Flexibility in Use — Adjustable features that adapt to different heights, abilities, and routines.
3. Simple and Intuitive — Controls and layouts are easy to understand the first time you use them.
4. Perceptible Information — Bright lighting, high-contrast surfaces, and clear labels mean you can always see what you need.
5. Tolerance for Error — Non-slip floors and rounded edges forgive small mistakes before they become injuries.
6. Low Physical Effort — Lever handles, rocker switches, and pull-out shelves mean less strain on hands, knees, and shoulders.
7. Size and Space for Approach — Wide doorways, open floor plans, and turning room for walkers, wheelchairs, or just a laundry basket.

...and so is every homeowner's plan for aging in place. Our proven five-step process gives you a clear path from "where do I start?" to a finished, future-ready home.

Your free 15–30 minute phone call. We listen to your goals, current challenges, mobility concerns, and budget. No pressure, no sales pitch — just a real conversation about your home and your future.

A CAPS-certified specialist visits your home in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, or anywhere in Thurston County. We walk every room with you, measure doorways and bathrooms, check lighting and pathways, and identify the safety upgrades that will make the biggest difference. Most assessments take 1 to 2 hours.

Within one week, you receive a written plan prioritized by safety, comfort, and budget. We separate immediate safety upgrades from long-term improvements, with honest cost estimates for each so you can decide what to do now and what to plan for later.

We sit down with you — and family members if you'd like — to walk through every recommendation. We answer every question, adjust the plan based on your feedback, and make sure you fully understand what each change does for your daily life before any work begins.

Our licensed and insured Thurston County remodeling team handles the work — from curbless walk-in showers and comfort-height toilets to widened doorways and improved lighting. We protect your home, communicate every step, and finish with a complete walkthrough so you know exactly what was done and how to use it.
