Frequently Asked Questions

The best wheelchair ramp depends on your home's layout, the total height (rise) you need to cover, and how much space is available. At Access Home Mobility, we install modular aluminum wheelchair ramps that are durable, non-slip, weather-resistant, and can be customized for almost any entrance—front porch, garage, or side door.

Yes. All of our aluminum wheelchair ramps meet ADA guidelines, including a 1:12 slope ratio and handrails when required. We ensure every installation provides safe, accessible entry to your home.

The cost of a wheelchair ramp installation depends on the length, height, and layout. Most modular aluminum ramps start around $1,500 to $5,000+, depending on complexity. We offer free on-site evaluations and estimates, plus financing options.

In most cases, we can install your wheelchair ramp in just one day. If your ramp requires multiple platforms or custom configurations, we'll provide a clear timeline during your consultation.

Modular ramps are considered temporary since they are not considered a permanent structure. If renting is preferred, we have a 3 month minimum for all ramp rentals for short-term needs—perfect for post-surgery recovery, hospice care, or visiting relatives with mobility needs.

Most modular ramps do not require a building permit because they are not permanent structures. If local rules vary, we'll handle the permit process or guide you through it.

Yes. Modular aluminum ramps are safer, longer-lasting, and require no maintenance compared to wood ramps. They are also adjustable, reusable, and won't rot, rust, or warp—making them ideal for Long Island weather.

Per ADA guidelines, a 1:12 ratio is recommended (1 foot of ramp for every inch of rise). Our ramps always meet these standards unless a client requests a steeper slope for short-term or private use (non-ADA).

Most ramps are at least 36 inches wide, but we adjust widths based on your mobility device and space. Wider ramps may be needed for power chairs or if caregivers assist the user.

A curved staircase needs a custom-built rail, which is a different product at a different price, and that is not something we install. At your free in-home evaluation we will look at your stairs and tell you right away whether your staircase is straight, so you know your options before you spend anything.

Regular maintenance includes battery checks, track lubrication, and general inspections to ensure smooth operation.
