Why This Matters
Your Bathroom Should Work For You, Not Against You
The bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in the house for anyone over 65. The CDC reports that more than one in four adults over 65 falls each year, and falls are the leading cause of injury in that age group. A high tub wall. A slippery floor. No grab bar where you need one. These are problems with straightforward solutions.
Paul Knox started NextStep Bath Solutions because he lived this problem himself. After knee surgery that didn’t go as planned, he learned what it means to need a grab bar and not have one. His mother and sister were both nurses. He grew up watching what genuine care for another person looks like. That’s what he brings to every job.
This is not a franchise. There is no design consultant with a binder of products and a financing pitch. You get Paul. He looks at your bathroom, tells you what will help, and prepares the price on the spot. His crew does the installation, and Paul is on site every day the job is running. If a single grab bar is all you need, that is a real appointment. There is no minimum project size.

About Paul Knox
In the Trades Since 1995. Started This Business For One Reason.
Paul Knox started in the trades in 1995. He knows how a bathroom is built, which means he knows exactly how to modify one safely. After knee surgery left him with firsthand experience needing accessibility equipment in his own home, he became a Residential Grab Bar Specialist, Residential Ramp Specialist, and Residential Accessible Bathroom Consultant.
His mother and sister were nurses. He understands what it means to sincerely want someone to be safe and comfortable at home. NextStep Bath Solutions is not about upselling a remodel. It’s about fixing the problem.
