Professional Wheelchair Ramp Installation

That depends on your accessibility goals and how long you’ll need the ramp. Modular ramps are cost-effective and can be adjusted or removed later, making them perfect for short-term or rental properties. Permanent ramps, on the other hand, provide lasting convenience and can even enhance your home’s value.

Schedule a wheelchair ramp installation consultation with your local Mr. Handyman team to learn more about materials, maintenance needs, and long-term benefits.

An ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp installation ensures safety and ease of use for everyone. According to ADA standards, ramps must include:

• A slope no steeper than 1:12 (one inch of rise for every 12 inches of length)
• A clear width of at least 36 inches
• Handrails on both sides for ramps higher than 6 inches
• Level landings at the top and bottom

Our experts build every ramp to meet or exceed ADA guidelines. To learn more about creating accessible spaces, check out our blog on ways to make your home more accessible.

Costs vary based on ramp type, materials, and site layout. Here’s what can influence your estimate:

• Ramp type: Modular, permanent, or custom-built
• Material: Aluminum, steel, or treated wood
• Slope and site conditions: Steeper grades or uneven terrain may require more intensive labor
• Permitting: Local building codes may require permits for permanent ramps

Most modular ramps can be installed in a few hours, while custom or permanent installations may take several days. For more cost insights, visit our guide on wheelchair ramp installation costs.

Each material offers unique advantages:

• Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to reconfigure
• Steel: Extremely strong and durable for high-traffic use
• Wood: Blends with home exteriors but requires periodic sealing or staining

Our team will help you choose the right material based on climate, design, and mobility needs. Learn more about accessible designs in our post on wheelchair ramps for homes.

In many areas, a permit is required for permanent or structural ramps, especially if they alter an entryway or deck.

Consult your local Mr. Handyman team to learn more about local permit requirements. Your service professional may be able to handle the paperwork to ensure your wheelchair ramp installation complies with all building codes.
