My Accessable Home was founded by Chuck and Dara McMillan in 2008
when they combined their talents to meet a growing need in the
community. They realized they could meet the needs of people wanting
to remain in their homes through the aging years, despite physical
limitations or declining health. After months of research and planning and
trying to decide on the best name for their venture, they chose My
Accessable Home. For those of you who are spelling experts, YES, our
company name is intentionally spelled incorrectly as a play on words
with "able."

Working hand-in-hand with customers, designers and partners, we
develop the best design for your project and budget. My Accessable
Home helps create barrier-free living environments by making
construction modifications to your home that are customized to meet
your unique needs.

Chuck, President/CEO, is an Atlanta native and has been in the
remodeling business for 14 years. In 2001 he also became a
Home Inspector working with home buyers before the big purchase.
In 2008 Chuck received his Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS)
designation, enabling him to adapt homes for age related concerns.
CAPS was developed by the National Association of Home Builders(NAHB)
and the AARP to provide an alternative for those who need help to
create a safer and more accessible home. In 2009 he received his
certification as a Wellborn Authorized Remodeler. Wellborn Cabinet, Inc.
