Built on Real Experience You Can Trust
Meet Richie Pikunis
Owner Richie Pikunis brings an unmatched combination of personal insight, professional expertise, and a lifelong commitment to protecting and serving others. Having lived with Young-Onset Parkinson’s Disease for more than 30 years, Richie understands mobility challenges, balance issues, fall risks, and the importance of having reliable support where it matters most—starting in the bathroom.
His personal experience is at the heart of every installation we perform.
Richie knows what it feels like to move cautiously.
He knows what it’s like to need stability, confidence, and safe leverage in the spaces where falls are most likely.
And he knows the difference between a grab bar that’s simply installed…
and a grab bar that’s installed in the exact place your body needs it.
Beyond his lived experience, Richie brings a diverse professional background to the work:
  • Retired Attorney – bringing precision, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing things the right way
  • Former Babyproofing Company Owner – experienced in child safety, home assessments, and preventive environmental design
  • Retired Volunteer Firefighter – trained in emergency response, home safety hazards, rescue scenarios, and protecting people in vulnerable moments
These backgrounds give Richie a unique lens on safety, risk reduction, and the importance of quality workmanship.
When Richie installs grab bars, it’s not just a job—
It’s personal.
He approaches every home with the same care, caution, and professionalism he wished someone had offered him decades ago.

Bathroom Safety Expert
Today, that same philosophy of proactive protection drives South Jersey Grab Bars. Every installation combines decades of safety expertise with genuine understanding of what it means to need support and stability in your daily life.
The Philosophy Behind Everything We Do
"Grab bars aren't just hardware — they are confidence, stability, and peace of mind. They help prevent accidents, support recovery, assist with mobility challenges, and make daily routines easier for people of all ages."
At South Jersey Grab Bars, we've learned that the best safety solutions are the ones you put in place before you need them. Whether you're planning ahead or responding to an immediate need, proper bathroom safety equipment provides protection that's always there when you reach for it.
We believe everyone deserves to feel secure and independent in their own home. That belief guides every consultation, every recommendation, and every installation we complete.
Who We Serve

Family Caregivers
Caring for a loved one? Proper bathroom safety equipment protects both the person you're caring for and reduces physical strain on you as the caregiver. It's support for the whole family.
Preventative Safety
Smart homeowners don't wait for an accident to happen. Installing grab bars now is a simple, affordable way to prevent falls and injuries before they occur. It's one of the best investments you can make in your home.

Our Installation Standards
01
Thorough Consultation
We start by understanding your specific needs, mobility patterns, and concerns. Every bathroom is different, and every person's needs are unique. We take the time to assess your space and recommend the most effective placement for maximum safety and support.
02
Professional Assessment
We examine wall structure, identify optimal mounting locations, and ensure every grab bar will be installed into solid backing that can support the weight it needs to bear. Safety starts with proper structural support.
03
Quality Installation
Every grab bar is installed with precision, secured properly into studs or blocking, and tested for stability. We use professional-grade materials and proven installation techniques that meet or exceed safety standards.
04
Respectful Service
We treat your home with the utmost respect. Clean workspace, careful attention to your walls and fixtures, and thorough cleanup when we're done. You'll barely know we were there — except for the confidence you'll feel every time you use your bathroom.
The Difference Quality Makes
Professional Installation vs. DIY
While hardware stores sell grab bars, proper installation requires expertise that goes far beyond following package instructions. Incorrect placement or inadequate anchoring can create a dangerous false sense of security.
Our installations are backed by professional experience, structural knowledge, and genuine understanding of how people actually use grab bars in real-life situations. We ensure every bar is positioned where you'll naturally reach for it and secured to support you when you need it most.
