Wheelchair ramps for your home
A safe, code-compliant way in and out of the house, built around the person who uses it. Free home visit in northern and central New Jersey and the Hudson Valley.

What we build
- Aluminum modular ramps that install quickly and can be adjusted or removed later.
- Wood and permanent ramps when a lasting, built-in look fits the home.
- Level landings at the door and at every turn, with room to open the door from a wheelchair.
- Handrails on both sides and edge protection so wheels can't slip off.
- Thresholds, short entry ramps and step-free entries for walkers and canes.
How we plan a ramp
- We measure the rise from the ground to the door, because that sets the length of the ramp. Building code generally calls for a gentle slope, which means a long ramp even for a few steps, so we look at the yard, driveway and side doors to find the best route.
- We follow your evaluation (from an OT or PT, if you have one) and the rules of the program paying for it, and we pull a permit when the town requires one.
- Nothing is built until you, or the program paying for it, approve the written quote.
Who pays for a ramp
Many families don't pay out of pocket. Ramps can be covered by NJ DDD through Acumen, NJ FamilyCare long-term care (MLTSS), New York Medicaid long-term care plans and waivers, and the VA HISA grant for eligible veterans. We also build for private-pay customers with a clear written quote first.
Questions people ask
How long does a ramp take to install?
Most home ramps take one to a few days once materials arrive. Program approvals and town permits usually take longer than the build, and we keep you updated at each step.
Do I need a permit for a wheelchair ramp?
It depends on the town and the size of the ramp. We check with your town and pull the permit when one is needed.
Can you build a ramp if I rent?
Yes, with the landlord's written permission. A modular aluminum ramp is often a good choice for renters because it can be removed later.
