We installed this ADA compliant, modular wheelchair ramp in Petersburg, VA. The client had been struggling to get up and down their front steps. They had also been having trouble with the smaller step at the front door. Their porch was taller than most and the client had limited space for the wheelchair ramp. As a result, we installed a platform at their door and a "U shaped" wheelchair ramp system. The ramp landed perfectly on their sidewalk and solved the client's problems. Here are some before and after pictures of the job.
