Thank you for you and your family’s service!
At Bennett Bath & Exteriors, we firstly want to thank all current and past military service members and veterans. We also want to thank the families of veterans and active service members, for the sacrifices you all make to keep us safe is beyond words!
From our owner, Paul Bennett:
“Before founding this company, I spent years working closely with veterans to make their bathrooms safe and accessible. Time and again, I saw families in desperate need of a safe shower who were stuck waiting for or unable to afford traditional remodeling. Those experiences inspired a mission: to create a high-quality, accessible solution that eliminates the financial barrier for our heroes.
To combat this, I’ve worked tirelessly to design and create a custom VA Package within approval guidelines and the $6,800 HISA grant threshold (Official VA Approval Pending). By standardizing this package, we are able to keep costs at an absolute minimum to help as many veterans as possible.
What this package includes (Installation, Removal & Products):
- Low-threshold shower pan (up to 60″ x 36″)
- White Wall System
- Chrome Shower Valve & Handrail-mounted Shower Head
- Storage Shelf & Safety Grab Bars
- Curtain Rod
- Optional upgrade: Fold-down shower seat available at an additional charge.
Please note: To maintain this specialized pricing, this package cannot be modified. Any alterations or substitutions will transition the project into a fully custom remodel, which will be priced accordingly.
If you need a custom project outside of this specific package, we still want to take care of you. We proudly offer a dedicated discount on ALL estimates for active-duty military and veterans. Please let your design consultant know your status when they arrive.
Thank you for keeping us safe & protected. I appreciate all the great people who’ve served for our country.”

BE AWARE OF COMPANIES & SALES REPS
Unfortunately, we have come across sales reps and companies that train their reps to mislead veterans by telling them that they will deal directly with the VA for them and offer a big discount as the VA rebate (which they add the $’s on then take it off).
THIS IS NOT THE PROCESS & IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS REPORT IT!
ONLY A VETERAN CAN SUBMIT THEIR APPLICATION!
NO COMPANY OR SALESPERSON can submit an application for a Veteran.
Contact the VA for the correct procedures Prosthetic & Sensory Aids Service (PSAS) – Rehabilitation and Prosthetic Services and we also have a guideline of the process below.
HOW CAN BENNETT BATHS & EXTERIORS HELP?
We can help by supplying the estimates with all the details required, the drawings required by the VA with measurements and once you have a representative after you have sent in your application, we can help sending over these items or anything else they are asking for to help the process go as smoothly as possible.
