We installed this ADA compliant, aluminum wheelchair ramp in Gloucester, VA. As you can see in the pictures, their porch was fairly close to the driveway. We were able to come up with an ADA compliant solution to get them outside, without taking up space in their driveway. We installed a turning platform at the top of the ramp, a straight ramp section, and a landing platform to help them get in and out of their vehicle. We also installed a ramp on their porch to help them with the smaller step at the door. Here are some before and after pictures of the job.
