We installed this ADA compliant, aluminum wheelchair ramp for a client in Goochland, VA. The client was having trouble getting up and down the stairs to enter their house. Furthermore, the client's porch and steps were starting to fall apart and they were becoming a safety hazard. We were able to remove the existing porch and replace it with an ADA compliant wheelchair ramp system. The client had limited space, so we installed a "U shaped" ramp system. Here are some before and after pictures of the job.
