Ramps

Ramps are inclined surfaces that provide smooth transitions between different levels, making homes more accessible for wheelchairs, walkers, or simply moving heavy items. Whether you need a permanent wooden ramp at your entrance or a portable option for indoor use, the right design depends on slope requirements and available space. Angi connects you with pros who can build safe, code-compliant ramps tailored to your home's needs.

Common Ramp Service Questions

Although regular Medicare covers wheelchairs and mobility equipment, they typically don’t cover wheelchair ramps. However, if you’re enrolled in Medicare Advantage, issued by private insurance companies, you may qualify. Call your Medicare Advantage representative to learn more.

The Americans With Disabilities Act requires wheelchair ramps that ascend more than 6 inches or extend further than 6 feet to have a railing on both sides to prevent falls. The tops of the handrails should be between 34 and 38 inches above the ramp.  

The cost to install a wheelchair ramp is between $1,000 to $3,000.

Some private insurance companies cover wheelchair ramps. When they don't, you may be eligible for government assistance programs. Check with your insurance company and your local government to learn your options.

Stair lifts and platform lifts are two alternatives to wheelchair ramps, both with unique benefits. Stair lifts are best for indoor use, while platform lifts can be installed in either indoor or outdoor settings. These alternatives are better for homes with limited space or when ADA compliance requires elevation changes that a ramp cannot accommodate.

The ADA requirements for wheelchair ramps include specifications for slope, length, landing, and handrail construction, although homeowners aren’t legally required to comply with these specifications.
