Bathroom Grab Bar Installer - recommendations
I am looking for a reputable Brooklyn contractor, plumber or tile guy to install bathroom grab bars for a handicapped uncle recovering from hip replacement surgery. The bathroom is all tile, so the person has to drill into tile without cracking them, find the studs, and install the bars. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

FYI, it is nearly impossible to find the studs and have them match the grab bar mounting screws. If this is new construction, they had to have installed plywood blocking, though. If it's old construction, you'll be playing your luck (i.e. the screws will probably rip out of the wall).
It's better to rip the tile off and redo it with the appropriate plywood blocking. Any contractor should be able to do this for you.

I don't think what you are suggesting is the way to go
