About Baths for the Brave

At Baths for the Brave, we believe in the power of gratitude and action. Our mission is simple yet profound: to improve the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

Founded by Brian Gottlieb, Baths for the Brave is a unique collaboration between dozens of home improvement companies across the United States. We've united with a common purpose - to give back to our nation's heroes in a tangible, life-changing way.

Our Commitment to Veterans

Every year, just in time for Veterans Day, we embark on a remarkable journey. In a single day, we transform the lives of deserving veterans by providing them with free bathroom remodels, so they can have a safer showering experience. These aren't just renovations; they're a gateway to independence and dignity for those who have faced challenges due to mobility issues.

Why Bathrooms Matter

A slip or fall in a bathroom can often lead to a life-changing injury. For many disabled veterans, a simple task like bathing can be a daily struggle. Our mission is to eliminate these barriers, offering freedom and self-reliance where it's needed most: in the bathroom. As one of our recipients, Ryan Buglar, put it: "This will absolutely mean independence and freedom for me!"

Military Helmets

More Than a Remodel

Baths for the Brave is about more than just bathroom renovations. It's about recognizing the ongoing sacrifices of our veterans and saying "thank you" in a way that makes a real difference. We believe that by improving their daily lives, we honor their service and show our enduring gratitude.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Overview

Founded by Brian Gottlieb, Baths for the Brave is a national act of gratitude for those who served. Since 2016, home improvement professionals across more than 35 states have come together to provide free, safe bathrooms to veterans facing mobility challenges. Each walk-in shower or safety tub removes a daily barrier and restores something every veteran deserves: independence, dignity, and peace of mind in their own home.

For many veterans, something as simple as taking a shower can become a daily struggle, and a single slip can lead to a life-changing injury. By replacing hard-to-access tubs with safe, accessible showers, we help veterans bathe with confidence and freedom in the place where safety matters most.

We serve veterans whose mobility or safety needs make everyday bathing difficult. Every remodel is provided completely free of charge, as a heartfelt thank you for their service and sacrifice.


Veterans Day is our nation’s moment to pause and say thank you. By coming together on or around this day, partners across the country share in a single act of gratitude, so that in dozens of communities at once, a veteran who served is welcomed home to a safer, more comfortable space.



We welcome any bath remodeling company with a heart for service and a desire to give back to those who have given so much for our country. Whether you are a small local team or a company with locations across the nation, there is a place for you in this mission. Our partners share a simple belief: the skills we use every day can change a veteran’s life. To make sure every veteran receives the quality and care they deserve, partners are U.S.-based companies that have been in business for at least one year and hold the proper local licensing and insurance. If your team is ready to turn its craft into an act of gratitude, we would be honored to have you join us.

Each year, our partners complete their installations in the weeks leading up to Veterans Day, with many teams working on November 11 itself, so that every veteran we serve can begin enjoying a safer home in honor of the day set aside for them.

2026 Event Scheduling

Performing the installs simultaneously across the country allows the initiative to gain significant national media attention and creates a "wave" of impact. It ensures that while your local team is changing a life in your city, dozens of other teams are doing the exact same thing, reinforcing the power of the national partnership.

Support & Media

Baths for the Brave is committed to walking alongside every partner at each step of the journey, so that every veteran we serve receives the very best experience. We are deeply grateful to the bath remodeling companies who generously give their time, talent, and resources to make this mission possible. In return, our team provides ongoing guidance, planning resources, and a dedicated point of contact, so partners can focus on what matters most: welcoming a veteran home to a safer, more comfortable space.
