A ramp built for your entry, not a generic kit.
A properly sloped ramp turns a set of front steps from a daily obstacle into a non-issue — for a wheelchair, a walker, or just a grocery cart.

Not every ramp is built the same way. A ramp that's too steep is exhausting or unsafe to use independently, while one that's properly sloped takes up more horizontal run — which is exactly why a site visit matters before anything gets built. A local contractor can also help you weigh a permanent wood or concrete ramp against a modular aluminum ramp, which installs faster and can be reconfigured or removed later if your needs change.
What a wheelchair ramp installation project usually includes
- An in-home assessment of your entry point, available space, and how the ramp will be used day to day
- Choosing between a permanent structure (wood or concrete) and a modular aluminum ramp system
- Building the ramp to a safe, comfortable slope rather than the steepest slope that technically fits
- Adding handrails and a non-slip surface where they make sense for your entry

Frequently asked questions — Wheelchair Ramp Installation
How steep can a ramp be?
It depends on the total rise and how much horizontal space you have — a gentler slope is generally safer and easier to use independently, but takes up more room. Your contractor can walk through what actually fits your entryway.
Permanent ramp or modular ramp — which is better?
It depends on your situation. A modular aluminum ramp installs quickly and can be adjusted or removed later, while a permanent wood or concrete ramp is a more built-in, long-term solution. A local contractor can help you weigh the tradeoffs for your home.
Do I need a permit for a ramp?
It depends on your city and the size and type of ramp. Your matched contractor can tell you what's required for your specific project.
