We installed this ADA compliant, modular wheelchair ramp in Prince George, VA. The client was having trouble getting in and out of the house. However, they didn't want to block access to their front porch. Our all aluminum wheelchair ramps come pre-fabricated in all shapes and sizes. Our various sizing options made it possible to provide an ADA compliant solution that doesn’t limit access to the front porch. We were able to install a platform on their porch that turns two ways. On one side of the platform, we installed a small ramp in order to keep access to the porch. On the other side of the platform, we installed an L shaped ramp system that goes to the driveway. The modular wheelchair ramp system worked great. Now, the client has access to their driveway and to the front porch. Here are some before and after pictures of the job.
