Why Install a Handicap Ramp?

A handicap-accessible ramp makes it easier—and safer—for individuals with mobility limitations to enter and exit the home. It eliminates stairs as a hazard, provides smooth transitions for wheelchairs and walkers, and reduces caregiver strain.

At 3 Birds Accessibility – Pittsburgh, we install ramps tailored to your unique space, ensuring safety, stability, and long-term use.

Key Features of an ADA-Compliant Ramp

We follow ADA guidelines to ensure every ramp meets slope, width, and safety standards. Features may include:

  • Gentle slope (1:12 ratio or better) for easy navigation

  • Non-slip surfaces for safe all-weather use

  • Handrails on both sides

  • Level landings at doors and turns

  • Smooth transitions to pavement or thresholds

Our ramps are built to meet Pittsburgh code requirements while delivering the functionality and appearance that suits your home.

Ramp Types for Different Needs

We install a wide range of ramp styles depending on your layout and usage needs:

  • Modular aluminum ramps – Quick to install, rust-resistant, and low maintenance

  • Pressure-treated wood ramps – Durable and can be customized to match your home’s aesthetic

  • Concrete ramps – Ideal for permanent installations and high-traffic areas

  • Portable ramps – Great for short-term needs or travel

We help you choose the right material, size, and shape based on your entry layout, elevation, and user mobility.

Pittsburgh Homes Require Smart Design

Pittsburgh’s architecture often presents unique accessibility challenges—tight porches, elevated entries, or steep driveways. Our team is familiar with these obstacles and specializes in creative solutions that maximize space while maintaining safety and compliance.

Whether you’re in Shadyside, Mount Washington, or the suburbs, we bring experience and care to every ramp project we take on.
