Wheelchair Ramps & Zero-Step Entries in Gresham & Portland

What we build

Permanent ramps. Wood or concrete, built to the 1 in 12 slope the code requires, with landings, handrails, and a non-slip surface.
Regraded walkways. When the yard allows it, we raise the path so it meets the door with no ramp at all.
Flush thresholds. The lip at the door goes away. A wheelchair or walker crosses without a bump.
Wider exterior doors. A 36 inch entry door with a lever handle.
Covered entries. A roof over the landing so the ramp stays dry in a Portland winter.
Lighting. Motion lights at the entry and along the path.

How the job is done

Walkthrough

We measure the rise from grade to the door and look at where a ramp or a regraded path fits.

Written price

One number for the ramp or the regrade, rails and lighting included.

Build

Most ramps are built in a few days. A regraded entry with concrete takes about a week.

Walk it with you

We check the slope and the rails with you before we leave.

Common questions

How long does a wheelchair ramp need to be?

Code allows one inch of rise for every twelve inches of run. A door 24 inches above grade needs a 24 foot ramp, usually with a landing at the turn.

Do I need a permit for a ramp?

Often yes, for a permanent ramp attached to the house. We handle the permit as part of the job.

Can you avoid a ramp altogether?

Sometimes. If the yard slopes toward the house, a regraded walkway can meet the door at floor level with no ramp. We tell you on the walkthrough which one fits.

Wood or concrete?

Wood is faster and less expensive. Concrete lasts longer and needs no upkeep. Both get a non-slip surface.
