FAQs About Residential Ramps
How Much Does a Ramp Cost?
The Cost of an Aluminum Ramp Depends on Several Factors
- The total length of the ramp.
- We follow ADA and local building code standards for your safety. ADA requires 12 inches of ramp for every 1 inch of rise. In other words, if your porch is 16 inches from the ground, you need a minimum of 16 feet of ramp.
- The number of resting platforms needed.
- The ADA requres a resting platform after every 30 feet of ramp. Resting platforms are also sometimes needed to complete turns if needed to fit into a space.
- Optional features.
- Some people choose to add additional features such as decorative rails. Optional features can increase the total cost of a ramp.
Why Choose Aluminum Ramps Instead of Wood Ramps?
- Quick Installation
- Aluminum ramps can often be installed in one day, which is significantly faster than building a wooden ramp.
- Low Maintenance, High Durability
- Anyone who has owned a wooden deck knows all too well the maintenance required to keep it looking great and in good shape. Aluminum ramps are virtually maintenance free.
- Ability to Reuse
- If you ever move or end up no longer needing your ramp, aluminum wheelchair ramps can be disassembled, moved, or sold.
How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Ramp?
The monthly rental fee is based on several factors including length of ramp and number of resting platforms needed. Your safety is our first priority, so we follow ADA guidelines and local building codes to determine the ramp length and the number of resting platforms needed. The best way to determine the monthly rental cost is with a free evaluation.
What's the Optimal Slope for My Ramp?
Our ramps follow ADA guidelines, meaning that for every 1 inch of rise, there must be 12 inches of run (1:12 slope ratio). They are an ideal choice for people who need a practical, safe home accessibility solution.
Can I use a threshold ramp indoors?
Absolutely! Threshold ramps work well both indoors and outdoors. The Transitions series is built specifically for indoor and outdoor use and to help mobility device users navigate changes in elevation throughout the home.
