We installed this modular wheelchair ramp for a client in Hampton, VA. The client had come up with a solution using a small ramp that they set up themselves. However, their solution was too steep, didn’t have railings, and was an all around safety hazard. We were able to come up with a temporary wheelchair ramp solution that is much safer and easier to use. We installed an L shaped wheelchair ramp system that ended right next to where they park their car. Now, the client can enter and exit the home safely and without having to struggle.
