A ramp is often needed quickly, after a surgery, a fall, or a new wheelchair or walker. It also has to be right: a slope that is too steep, no handrails, or a slick surface makes a ramp unsafe.
We start with the rise from the ground to the door, then build to the ADA guideline minimums for ramps: 36 inches of clear width, a slope no steeper than 1:12, handrails on both sides when the rise is over 6 inches, and level landings at the top and bottom of each run. Every ramp gets a slip-resistant surface. We build wood ramps on site, install modular aluminum kits you bought, and set threshold ramps at doorways and garage steps.
Homes and small businesses. We handle disability ramps for houses, rentals, offices, and storefronts. Tell us about building access and parking when you ask for a quote.

What affects the cost
- Rise to the door. The higher the door is above the ground, the longer the ramp needs to be.
- Wood or modular. Modular kits are faster to install. Wood ramps cost more in materials and labor.
- Landings and turns. Each ramp run needs a level landing at the top and bottom, and a run can rise no more than 30 inches before the next landing. Tight yards may need a turn.
- Ground conditions. Slopes, soft ground, and obstacles add time to set posts and supports.
- Handrails. Ramp runs that rise more than 6 inches get handrails on both sides, which adds materials and time.
How to prepare
- Measure from the ground to the top of the threshold, or send a photo with a tape measure.
- Photograph the entry and the area in front of it.
- Clear the path in front of the entry.
- If you bought a modular kit, have it on site.
What is not included
- Concrete ramps and poured landings
- Stair lifts and vertical platform lifts
- Bathroom remodels
- Commercial ADA compliance certification
Texas and DFW notes
ADA guideline minimums
The 2010 ADA Standards set ramp minimums: a slope no steeper than 1:12 (one inch of rise for every 12 inches of ramp), 36 inches of clear width, a rise of no more than 30 inches per run, landings at least 60 inches long at the top and bottom of each run, and handrails on both sides of runs that rise more than 6 inches. We build home ramps to those minimums.
City permits
Permit rules for ramps vary from city to city. We deal with the city when a permit is needed, so you do not have to.
Heat and surfaces
Aluminum and dark surfaces get hot in Texas sun. Shade or a light-colored surface helps.
Common questions
How long does a ramp need to be?
A common rule of thumb is one foot of ramp for every inch of rise. A 24-inch rise needs about 24 feet of ramp, plus landings.
Do you build to ADA standards?
We build to the ADA guideline minimums for ramps: 36 inches of clear width, a slope no steeper than 1:12, handrails on both sides when the rise is over 6 inches, and level landings at the top and bottom of each run. We do not certify commercial ADA compliance.
Can you install a ramp kit I bought?
Yes. We assemble and set modular kits.
When can you build it?
We work by appointment. Send the rise and a photo, and we reply with a quote and the next open times. Timing depends on materials and the size of the ramp.
Can you add grab bars?
We can add exterior handrails. Bathroom grab bars depend on the wall; ask and we will look at photos.
Do I need a permit?
We check whether your city requires a permit and handle it for you; any city permit fee is listed on your quote. You do not need to go to the city yourself.
