Getting Started With A Wheelchair Ramp

We know that getting a wheelchair ramp for you or your loved one can seem confusing or overwhelming, and you likely have many questions about the process. The knowledgeable, caring experts at National Ramp are here to help answer commonly asked questions for your peace of mind.

The short answer is, it varies! Many factors impact the cost of a ramp, including:

• Property features: Some properties are more challenging to install a ramp on. More complex installations generally cost more than straightforward ones — for example, a clear and level property supports an easier installation process.
• Ramp length: The longer the ramp, the more materials are involved in its construction and installation. As a result, long ramps are priced higher than shorter ones.
• Construction materials: The prices of base materials differ and can change frequently. Opting for a more expensive material like wood — instead of aluminum like we use at National Ramp — adds to the overall cost.
• Customization options: We offer several ways to customize your ramp, such as add-on rails. Costs can vary according to the options you choose.

We have a network of trusted installers nationwide who have undergone our exclusive training process. Safety is our priority, and these teams are highly skilled and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

ADA guidelines determine the ramp’s length to ensure the slope is as safe as possible to navigate. Our experts and installers will help identify the right length for your property.

Multiple materials are available for ramps, including wood, steel and aluminum. At National Ramp, we recommend aluminum for the many benefits it offers over other materials, including:

• Cost: Aluminum is more affordable than steel or wood.
• Resistance to elements: This metal doesn’t rust and is resistant to pests, mold, mildew and deterioration.
• Durability: Aluminum has exceptional strength and is long-lasting.
• Low maintenance: Unlike wood, aluminum needs no frequent upkeep.
• High-traction surfaces: This material allows for finishing that provides excellent traction for improved safety.
