ℹ️

Not Sure If You Qualify? Contact Your Local VSO First.

We are a licensed contractor — not a VA benefits office. To find out which grants you're eligible for and to start an application, contact your local Veterans Service Organization (VSO) or the Arizona Department of Veterans Services (ADVS). They provide free eligibility guidance at no cost. Once you know what you're approved for, call us and we'll handle everything on the contractor side.

Why Your Contractor Choice Matters

VA Grants Come With Contractor Requirements. We Meet All of Them.

VA grant programs require contractors to submit specific documentation, adhere to VA construction and accessibility standards, and coordinate with VA representatives before and after work. Most contractors have never done this. We have — and we do it right, every time.

📋

We Handle All Required Contractor Paperwork

VA grants require detailed contractor cost estimates, licensing documentation, scope-of-work descriptions, and post-completion reports — all in VA-required formats. We prepare and submit everything correctly the first time, with no back-and-forth delays.

✅

Full VA Compliance on Every Job

VA modification work must meet specific accessibility, safety, and construction standards to pass VA inspections and trigger grant disbursement. As a licensed Arizona contractor (ROC#359311), our work is built to satisfy those requirements completely.

⚡

Faster Starts, Fewer Holdups

Incomplete or incorrect contractor paperwork is the #1 reason VA grant projects stall before they begin. Because we understand the process, your project gets off the ground quickly — and your VA representative gets documentation they can act on without sending it back.

What VA Contractor Compliance Actually Requires

When a VA grant approves work, it doesn't just hand over money. The VA requires contractors to meet specific documentation and construction standards before releasing funds. Here's what we bring to every VA grant job — so you don't have to chase your contractor for paperwork.

  • Detailed written cost estimates in VA-required format
  • Contractor license, bond & insurance documentation on file
  • Work scope descriptions matched to your grant approval
  • Compliance with ADA and VA accessibility standards
  • Post-completion documentation for VA reimbursement processing
  • Direct coordination with your VA prosthetics or SAH agent

Do I Qualify?

General Eligibility Guidelines — Always Confirm with Your VSO

We are contractors, not VA benefits advisors — we can't determine your eligibility and we don't take calls for that purpose. The information below is general guidance to help you have a more informed conversation with your VSO before you contact us.

✓ You May Qualify If...

  • You have any service-connected disability rating
  • You're rated 100% permanent & total (P&T)
  • A VA physician has recommended home modifications
  • You use a wheelchair, walker, or mobility device
  • You have vision, limb, or severe burn injuries
  • You're already enrolled in VA medical care
  • You're an Arizona resident (for state grants)
  • You rent (HISA is available with landlord approval)

✗ Common Misconceptions

  • You do NOT need 100% rating for all grants — HISA starts at any SC rating
  • You do NOT have to own your home for every program
  • These are NOT loans — no repayment required
  • Grant funds are NOT taxable income
  • You do NOT need a VA-mandated contractor list in most cases
  • Grant approval does NOT mean any contractor will do — VA compliance matters for payout

Contractor FAQ

Questions About Hiring Us for VA Grant Work

VA grants like HISA require the contractor to submit a detailed cost estimate in a VA-specific format, provide proof of current licensing, bonding, and insurance, and submit a written scope of work that matches the grant approval. After the job is done, we submit final documentation that triggers VA reimbursement. We handle everything on the contractor side — you don't need to chase us for paperwork.
For most VA grants including HISA, you are not required to use a VA-mandated contractor list. You choose your own contractor — what matters is that the contractor is properly licensed, bonded, insured, and willing to complete VA-required documentation. We're fully set up to meet every one of those requirements.
The most common reason: the contractor didn't submit properly formatted documentation before starting work — or started work before the VA approved the estimate. VA grants require prior approval of the contractor's cost breakdown and work scope. If that step is skipped, the VA may not pay out. We know this process and make sure everything is submitted and approved before a single nail goes in.
Yes — HISA can be used in a rented home with written landlord approval. The VA requires that documentation before work begins. We've handled this situation before and can provide your landlord with a clear written description of the proposed modifications to make that conversation straightforward.
In some cases, yes. For example, HISA and the Arizona ADVS state grant can sometimes be stacked. SAH and TRA can also be used together. Your VSO is the right person to confirm what's available to you — once you know, we work within whatever grant structure you bring.
Call or text us at (480) 788-1638. Let us know which grant you've been approved for and what modifications are needed. We'll come assess the work, prepare a fully VA-compliant cost estimate, submit it for VA approval, and schedule the job once cleared. No runaround, no delays on our end.
