CAPS-Certified Expertise for Aging-in-Place
Creating a safe, accessible home starts long before you step through the front door. For many homeowners, the garage is the most frequently used entryway—yet it’s also one of the most overlooked areas when planning for mobility, safety, and long-term independence.
PremierGarage of Knoxville is designated as a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) by the National Association of Home Builders and is uniquely equipped to help homeowners design garages that reduce risks, improve mobility, and support aging in place with confidence.
Why Accessibility Matters in the Garage
Cluttered floors, dim lighting, uneven surfaces, and lack of organization all increase the risk of trips, falls, and strain—especially for older adults or anyone with mobility challenges. Our solutions are engineered to create a cleaner, safer, and more navigable environment, making everyday tasks easier and reducing preventable hazards.
Whether you’re planning ahead or addressing current mobility needs, PremierGarage offers smart, durable upgrades that enhance comfort and control in one of the home’s most high-traffic spaces.
