The Golden Goose of Aging in Place with Chris Moore
In this episode of Remodelers on the Rise, Kyle sits down with Chris Moore of Senior Remodeling Experts to unpack why aging in place can be the golden goose for remodelers. Chris breaks down the three segments of the market (traumatic change, progressive change, and no urgent needs) and shows how to weave smart, subtle upgrades into standard projects: three-foot doors, curbless showers, blocking for future grab bars, stacked closets for a future elevator, removable cabinet fronts, and ceiling-lift framing. They talk about messaging that avoids stigma, why most homes are “Peter Pan" housing, and how aging in place is a team sport. You’ll also hear Chris’s purpose-driven story, the impact of VA grants and Virginia’s Livable Homes Tax Credit, and his “Age Out Loud” mission to celebrate later-life living. Bonus: a quick productivity nugget from Kyle to tame your inbox and focus your day.
