Build Safer Homes. Serve Local Families. Partner With a National Aging-in-Place Brand.

AITCOH is building a network of qualified local installation contractors to support aging-in-place home modification projects across selected markets. If you take pride in clean work, strong communication, and dependable follow-through, you may be a fit for the AITCOH Certified Installer Partner™ network.

This is not employment. This is not a franchise. This is an opportunity for qualified independent contractors to be considered for AITCOH-assigned project work in their local market.

What we are building

A Local Installer Network Backed by a Centralized Brand

Aging In The Comfort Of Home® helps homeowners, families, veterans, seniors, caregivers, and healthcare-related referral partners create safer, more comfortable living environments at home.

As AITCOH expands into new markets, we are building a certified installer network made up of qualified local contractors who can perform assigned installation and remodeling work according to AITCOH project documentation, customer communication expectations, quality standards, and closeout requirements.

The installer can be local.

The customer experience must always be AITCOH.

Who this is for

We Are Looking for Independent Contractors Who Already Know How to Do the Work

This program is designed for experienced contractors, remodelers, installers, and specialty trades who are already capable in the field and want to be considered for aging-in-place and accessibility-related project opportunities.

You may be a fit if you perform work such as:

AITCOH does not train installers in basic trade skills. We certify approved installers on AITCOH job documentation, customer communication expectations, safety expectations, brand-facing conduct, photo documentation, and project closeout requirements.

Why installers apply

A More Organized Way to Receive Project Opportunities

Many contractors are good at the work but lose time chasing leads, quoting poor-fit jobs, managing unclear customer expectations, or dealing with incomplete project information. AITCOH’s model is built to create a more organized process.

As an approved installer partner, you may receive access to:

AITCOH manages the customer-facing brand process. Installer partners perform approved field work according to the assigned project scope.

How the model works

Centralized Brand. Local Certified Field Execution.

AITCOH controls the customer promise, documentation, quality gates, and finished result. Installer partners remain independent contractors who control their own business operations, tools, staffing, methods, and scheduling.

Important clarification — independent contractor relationship

AITCOH Certified Installer Partners are independent contractors or independent businesses.

AITCOH does not control an installer’s daily schedule, employment conditions, internal staffing, tools, general trade methods, or overall business operations.

AITCOH does require standards tied to AITCOH-assigned projects, including customer conduct, documentation, scope compliance, photo requirements, safety expectations, closeout, warranty response, and brand-facing communication.

Participation in the network does not guarantee project volume, exclusive territory, employment, dealership rights, franchise rights, or authority to independently sell or advertise as AITCOH.
