Wheelchair Ramp Construction

What This Service Involves

A well-built ramp is about far more than a slope, and our crews engineer each one around the exact rise of your entry, the layout of your porch, and the way Puget Sound rain sheds across the surface. We use slip-resistant decking and gentle 1:12 gradients so the approach stays manageable for both manual and powered chairs. Every ramp is framed to carry real loads and anchored to resist the wind and settling common in our region. When the project calls for it, we integrate handrails, landings, and drainage that keep the path clear during the wettest months.

Benefits

Meets ADA and Washington accessibility slope standards for safe daily use; Slip-resistant surfaces engineered for constant PNW moisture; Load-rated framing that supports power chairs and mobility scooters; Custom landings and turns that fit your existing porch footprint; Optional handrails and lighting for confident nighttime access

Our Process

1) We measure entry height, evaluate the approach, and confirm permit needs; 2) We design a compliant ramp layout with landings and handrail placement; 3) Our carpenters frame, anchor, and deck the ramp with weather-rated materials; 4) We finish with railings, non-slip treatment, and a final safety walkthrough

What Affects the Cost

Total rise and resulting ramp length; Decking material such as pressure-treated wood, composite, or aluminum; Number of landings and directional turns required; Handrail style and railing linear footage; Site grading, footings, and any permit fees

Best Time of Year

Ramps can be built year-round, though drier late-spring and summer windows speed up concrete footing cures and finishing.
