We installed this ADA compliant, aluminum wheelchair ramp in Tappahannock, VA. The client was having trouble getting down the steps and into their vehicle. However, they were limited on space for the ramp because their porch is so close to the driveway. We were able to come up with an ADA compliant wheelchair ramp design to help them out. We installed a turning platform against the porch, a straight ramp section, and a ground platform to help them get in and out of the car. Here are some before and after pictures of the job.
