Why Choose a Permanent Wheelchair Ramp?

Temporary ramps can work in a pinch, but when accessibility becomes a permanent part of your daily life, you need a long-lasting solution. A professionally installed ramp makes your home safer, more welcoming, and easier to navigate without depending on others for assistance.

Materials Built to Last

Our permanent ramps are constructed using long-wearing materials designed for Pittsburgh’s four-season climate. Options include:

  • Concrete ramps for strength, stability, and zero maintenance

  • Pressure-treated wood for a warm, natural look and budget-friendly installation

  • Steel and composite systems for maximum durability and slip resistance

Each ramp is designed to complement your home’s exterior and customized to your exact entry point and slope.

What to Expect During Installation

Our process begins with an in-home consultation to evaluate your entryway, measure elevation changes, and assess any structural challenges. Once we finalize the design, our team handles permits, scheduling, and installation from start to finish.

We ensure:

  • Proper grading and drainage

  • Secure handrails and landings

  • Non-slip surfaces for all seasons

  • Smooth transitions to thresholds and sidewalks

  • Full ADA compliance for peace of mind

Most permanent ramp projects are completed in just a few days, with minimal disruption to your home.
