Custom Modular Ramps in Vermont
Custom aluminum wheelchair and mobility ramps, sized to your home and built to handle Vermont winters. Free in-home consultation, install in one to two days.
What is a modular aluminum ramp?
A modular aluminum ramp is a prefabricated wheelchair and scooter ramp built from interlocking aluminum sections. The components ship to your site, and our crew assembles the ramp directly at your doorway, porch, or deck. Because the pieces are modular, the same ramp can be extended, shortened, or relocated later.
Two manufacturers, one custom install

Every install is custom to the home. The run length, the platform at the top, the rise (vertical height to clear), and the deck configuration all get sized on site. Code requires a 1-inch rise for every 12 inches of ramp length to stay ADA-compliant, so a 30-inch porch needs roughly 30 feet of ramp run.
How the install works
From your first call to a finished ramp is typically two to four weeks, depending on manufacturer lead time.

Walk-Through
We adjust handrails and lock everything in. If service is ever needed, we are the same crew you call.
Vermont winter and seasonal considerations
Vermont throws three things at outdoor accessibility equipment: snow load, salt and sand, and freeze-thaw. Aluminum handles all three better than wood or steel. The deck surface sheds water, won’t corrode from road salt drift, and the modular joints flex with temperature swings.
- Snow shovels and plastic-edge snow blowers are fine. Avoid metal-edge plows and calcium-chloride ice melt.
- Schedule installs between April and November when possible. Winter installs work on cleared sites.
- Modular ramps sit on adjustable footers, not poured pads, so no excavation needed.
- Short-term modular ramp rental available for surgery recovery, hospice care, or family visits.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most often, answered straight.
Does Medicare or insurance cover modular ramps in Vermont?
Medicare Part B does not cover modular ramps as standalone equipment in most cases. Medicare Advantage plans sometimes do, and Vermont Medicaid will cover ramp installs through specific waiver programs. The VA covers ramps for qualifying veterans. We help you sort through what applies before you commit to a build.
How long does a modular ramp install take?
Most residential ramps go in within one to two days once components arrive. From signed quote to finished ramp is typically two to four weeks, depending on manufacturer lead time.
Are modular ramps ADA-compliant?
Yes. Both National Ramp and Readispan systems meet ADA standards for slope, handrail height, deck width, and platform dimensions. We size your ramp to the rise so the slope stays within code, which is a 1-inch rise for every 12 inches of ramp length.
What weight can the ramps support?
Standard modular aluminum ramps are rated for 850 pounds of distributed load, which covers any combination of user, power wheelchair, mobility scooter, and a helper walking alongside. Heavy-duty configurations are available for institutional use.
Can I rent a modular ramp short-term instead of buying?
Yes. Short-term modular ramp rentals are available for recovery situations, hospice care, or family visits. Rentals are billed monthly with a minimum commitment based on ramp size.
Do you remove the ramp when it is no longer needed?
Yes. Because the system is modular, we can disassemble the ramp and relocate or store it when it is no longer needed.
