Choosing the Right Accessibility Solution
Not every home needs the same solution. A permanent wood ramp may be appropriate for one property, while a modular metal ramp, threshold ramp, stair lift, or platform lift may be a better fit for another.
The primary factors we will use to design the right solution for your home:
-
Mobility and physical needs
-
Entrance height and configuration
-
Available space
-
Expected length of use
-
Property layout
-
Budget
-
Maintenance requirements
-
Permanent versus temporary needs
After our conversation and assessment, we will come up with the most practica and cost-effective plan for your project.
How Our Accessibility Assessment Works
1. Evaluate the barrier
We look at the entrance, steps, transitions, available space, and existing conditions.
2. Understand the user's needs
We consider how the person moves through the space, their mobility needs, and whether those needs are temporary or long-term.
3. Recommend and implement the solution
We identify practical options and develop an appropriate modification or installation plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether I need a ramp or a lift?
The right solution depends on the height of the entrance, available space, the user’s mobility needs, and whether the solution is intended to be temporary or permanent. In some homes, a ramp is the most practical option. In others, a stair lift or vertical platform lift may provide safer and easier access.
What is the difference between a wood ramp and a modular ramp?
Wood ramps are typically built as permanent or long-term structures and can be customized to fit the home. Modular ramps are usually made from aluminum, can often be installed more quickly, and may be easier to remove or reconfigure later.
How much space does a wheelchair ramp require?
The amount of space depends on the height of the entrance, the slope of the ramp, landings, turns, and the property layout. Taller entrances generally require longer ramps, so an on-site assessment is often needed to determine whether a ramp will fit safely and practically.
Are temporary ramp options available?
Yes. Depending on the situation, temporary or modular ramp systems may be appropriate for short-term recovery, changing mobility needs, or situations where a permanent structure is not preferred.
