WHY THIS DIRECTORY EXISTS
GOOD INSTALLERS SHOULDN'T BE HARD TO FIND
The people who need grab bars installed have a real problem: they can't tell the difference between a professional installer and someone who just owns a drill. That's not their fault — the industry has never had a standard to point to. GBIAA is building that standard, and the directory is where homeowners find the installers who carry it.
The GBIAA national directory fixes that. Homeowners who need this work done come to gbiaa.com looking for someone qualified — and a real person at GBIAA personally connects them with a certified installer in their area. No bidding wars, no pay-per-click, no race to the bottom.
"Certified installers get found by the customers who need them. That's the whole point."
So here's how a customer finds you
HOMEOWNER SUBMITS REQUEST
They visit gbiaa.com, enter their zip code, and tell us what they need.
WE MATCH THEM WITH YOU
A real person reviews the request and matches it to the best-fit certified installer by location, availability, and specialty.
YOU GET THE REFERRAL DIRECTLY
The contact info comes straight to your inbox, and only yours. No bidding, no competing quotes, no platform fees.
BUILT BY AN INSTALLER, FOR INSTALLERS
EMILIO BAIRES
CO-FOUNDER & TECHNICAL EXPERT
THIS ISN'T THEORY FROM A MANUFACTURER'S MANUAL.
GBIAA's training was built with co-founder Emilio Baires, a 20-year veteran residential accessibility installer who has seen — and fixed — just about every mistake this work can throw at you.
From wall assessment to load distribution to how to anchor a bar that holds solid under real-world use, Emilio understands the why and the details that matter on every real job.
When you have a tough install and need a second opinion, you get a real expert on the other end of the line. Not a help desk.
