Meet Age & Accessibility Home Solutions Owner Sandy Garber
Sandy Garber has been serving people her entire life. As a 28-year veteran of the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD), she understands trust and safety. A graduate of Florida State University, she chose Tallahassee as her home community in 1973 and became a police officer serving as a SWAT Team member, Tactical Assistance Team negotiator, criminal investigator and TPD lieutenant. She understands the importance of feeling safe in your home and in your community.
In 1985, Sandy started Flamingo Construction, Inc. a Florida licensed and certified building company. Following the life-long lessons learned in law enforcement, the business delivers quality work at a fair price, with incredible attention to detail and customer satisfaction. In 2016, seeing the strong demand for services specifically focused on helping seniors to remain in their homes, she started Age & Accessibility Home Solutions. Today, it is Tallahassee’s premier Aging in Place modifications service company.
Her construction expertise has been recognized in the region by Sandy’s appointment to the Leon County Contractors’ Licensing and Examination Board, and through numerous professional credentials including the National Association of Home Builders, Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, 50+Housing Council and the Building Industry Association.
