About Kortland

Built for families.
Grounded in expertise.

Kortland was founded on a simple belief: most people — older adults, people with disabilities, veterans of any age — can stay in the homes they love with the right modifications and the right plan. We combine clinical assessment expertise with licensed construction capability so you get one team that understands both sides.

Our Mission

Why we do
this work.

Our team holds CAPS (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist) certification from the National Association of Home Builders — the industry’s gold standard credential. We combine clinical assessment expertise with licensed construction capability.

We serve Montgomery and Chester Counties exclusively because we believe in knowing our territory — the housing stock, the county programs, the contractors who do this work well, and the families who depend on getting it right.

Who We Are

Seven founders.
One shared mission.

Kortland was founded by seven partners who each experienced firsthand the challenge of helping a family member stay safely at home. We built the company we wished had existed when we needed it.

Every founding partner holds or is pursuing CAPS certification. We are licensed Pennsylvania home improvement contractors, HIPAA-compliant, and fully insured.

Our Values

What guides
every decision.

Safety and independence, always
Every recommendation is grounded in evidence-based accessibility standards. We design for independence first, safety second — because the goal is a full life at home, not just a safe one.
Family-centered process
We involve adult children, caregivers, and the senior — because good decisions need the whole picture.
Transparent and timely
Written reports within 48 hours. Clear pricing. One point of contact from assessment to completion.
No pressure, ever
Our assessment report is yours to keep, even if you never hire us for modifications.
How We Work

Our process,
step by step.

Beyond aging in place

Accessibility
for every body.

Disability doesn’t wait for retirement. We work with people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s navigating MS, spinal cord injury, TBI, chronic pain, limb loss, and dozens of other conditions that make a standard home difficult to live in.

The assessment process is the same. The modifications are the same.
