Our Company's History

1978

Jim and Debbie Chesbrough started Wood Wise Construction in Central Massachusetts.

1984

Obtained our Unrestricted Construction Supervisor License, still fully licensed and insured.

1994

Due to high demand, we started focusing primarily on handicap accessible home modifications. Watching members of our own family cope with disabling life changes gave us the impetus to focus our work knowing we are helping to improve the quality of life for others.

2010

Added our DBA: “Accessible Solutions” to Wood Wise Construction Inc. After decades of using Best Bath products, we decided to become a dealer and set up a showroom.

Beautiful Ramp and Bathroom

Got Home From The Hospital, and…

“I got home about 9:00 from the hospital last night and was simple awestruck by the ramp. It is really very nice. It’s beyond nice. It looks great. We are so happy with the quality of the workmanship. Thank you for your good work!”

Job Well Done!

“We just wanted to take the time to say “thank you for a job well done!” It was such a smooth transition for us and we are so happy with every aspect of the job. Right from our first meeting to the final inspection. You make a great team and we look forward to seeing you again!”

Workmanship Passes with Flying Colors

“Wood Wise Construction/Accessible Solutions is the one that I had remodel my handicap bathroom and my handicap accessible kitchen. They get all of the proper permits and when the town inspects, there are no problems. The workmanship passes with flying colors and everything is top quality and warrantied. They specialize in handicap construction and follow all the rules and regulations that are required by law. It took us some time to find the proper construction company that can take our children’s needs into consideration and know exactly what we need. I want this contractor to do all

the work at my home. I know their work and trust their workmanship…”

Our greatest satisfaction goes beyond a paycheck…

“The bathroom is far beyond my expectations! Every single inch is just perfect. I hope you and Jim truly realize the significant role you play in helping others. Do you realize how helpful this will be in helping me maintain keeping my boys at home? What you do goes beyond construction- I hope you know that…”

My grandchildren are excited I can finally sit out in their backyard play area…

Dear Debbie and Jim. I just wanted to send the two of you an enormous THANK YOU for the remarkable renovation work Wood Wise/Accessible Solutions accomplished for us! We can’t stop standing outside the new bathroom and staring in with delighted disbelief. We never thought this renovation would ever happen…and certainly not one as remarkable as what you created for us. It is no longer an hour struggle for a ten-minute shower! My wife is thrilled that I no longer find an excuse to avoid taking one. The grab bars all seem to be in just the right places making me feel very secure maneuvering around in there. With the new ramp you’ve built, my house arrest is over! .I’m looking forward to using the ramp to come and go, but also as an aid for exercising. The ramp turns around over my grandchildren’s backyard play area. They are excited that i can finally sit out there and be with them. I could praise your work all day! Jordan and all the workers were wonderful people to work with. I’ll miss Jordan a bit he almost seemed like family.

We feel the excitement of waking up in a new home, a new beginning, thank you

thank you thank you for this new start in life.

My name is Jerry and I’m a Disabled American Veteran

“Because of my disability I was unable to use my bathroom. Fortunately, Wood Wise Construction’s owners Jim and Deb Chesbrough came to my rescue. Deb assisted me from day one with all the paperwork from the Veteran’s Administration and boy, there’s a lot. She knew the regulations and kept everything constantly on track. Jim and his construction team did a terrific job renovating my bathroom. He was always communicating with me about the design. Jim was always conscious of cleanliness, respecting my wishes and noise level. Together they made my bathroom handicap accessible without making it look like a hospital. Jim and Deb were always professional and very kind to me. They gave me back my independence and are truly angels on Earth.”
