Cornelius Gillespie
Owner, aging-in-place specialist
Leads every walk-through and writes the report. Takes the call when the family wants to talk it through.
About us
A small firm for one kind of work
Evenfloor does bathrooms and entries for older homeowners and the families who help them. That is nearly all we do.
Most of our calls come from sons and daughters. They are trying to do right by a parent who would rather not talk about it. We built the firm around that call: a visit that starts with listening, a report in plain words and a schedule set around the person who lives there.

How we work
What we promise to do
Listen first
We ask your parent what is hard before we say what we see.
Write it down
A report after the walk-through, an estimate before the work and a change order before any change.
Say no when it is right
If a handyman or a therapist is the better call, we say so.
Plan around the person
The schedule, the water and the toilet are agreed before day one.
