About the service
Offering a dedicated wheelchair access ramp construction service built around one goal: safe, comfortable, code-compliant passage for every user. Each project starts with an on-site slope assessment — I calculate the exact rise-to-run ratio required (commonly 1:12 for powered chairs, gentler for manual users) so the finished ramp never forces anyone to fight gravity or momentum.
Landing platforms are sized to the standard actually required for the doorway they serve: enough depth to open a door without rolling backward, enough width to turn a chair fully around at every direction change. I build switchback and straight-run configurations alike, matching the footprint of the property rather than forcing a generic layout.
Handrail installation follows the same discipline — correct mounting height on both sides, continuous grip surface without gaps at posts, and anchoring rated for repeated lateral load, not just decorative screws into siding.
Surface material is chosen for the climate and the user: broom-finished concrete, aluminum with raised traction strips, or pressure-treated wood decking with non-slip coating, each explained honestly with its maintenance trade-offs rather than upsold as one-size-fits-all.
Foundation and footing work is not skipped to save a weekend — frost-depth footings or engineered ground-level bases are set so the ramp does not heave, settle, or separate from the entryway threshold within the first winter.
A portfolio of completed residential and small-business ramps is available on request, along with a written estimate broken into materials, labor, and permit-filing assistance where local codes require inspection. Typical turnaround from site visit to finished ramp is one to two weeks depending on length and site access, communicated clearly before any deposit is taken.
