Average Cost of Handicap Ramp Installation<\/h2>\n
In terms of cost per linear foot, an accessibility ramp will cost you about $90 to $175 per foot, based on the cost factors discussed in this article. Cost rises with length, but cost per linear foot drops a little with longer ramps.<\/p>\n
Ramps range from 24 to 30 feet long with a rise or about 1 inch per foot based on the height of the entry door. They\u2019re a minimum of 30 inches side, but can be as wide as 48 inches. A curb or stop is installed on both sides to prevent wheels from going over the edge.<\/p>\n
Code requires that handrails be used on ramps with a rise of more than 6-12 total inches.<\/p>\n

The most popular ramp and cost effective ramps are made by using pressure treated, all-weather wood, just like most decks on homes.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s an overview of the major cost factors and how they affect the price of a wheelchair ramp. It starts with labor \u2013 the biggest cost factor for most ramps.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re building a wheelchair ramp \/ walker ramp using pressure treated lumber, here are retail costs for the wood and common supplies.<\/p>\n The most common types of ramps are the following:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re replacing an old ramp, expect demolition and disposal costs of $15 to $25 per foot, or roughly $360 to $750 for a ramp 24 to 30 feet long. This is a good place to save money by doing it yourself, possibly renting a small dumpster for the debris or going in on a larger roll-off container with neighbors also tackling outdoor home improvement projects or just wanting to clear a little bit of clutter\/junk from their homes.<\/p>\n Pro Tip:<\/strong> If your home is in a homeowners association neighborhood, check the HOA bylaws before proceeding. The HOA probably can\u2019t legally stop you from building an access ramp, but the bylaws\/rules might specific material type and other details you\u2019ll need to comply with.<\/p>\n Building a wheelchair ramp is a relatively large and time-consuming project. On average, it will take two contractors about two days to complete the project at a cost of $1,500 to more than $2,000 in labor alone.<\/p>\n If you decide to build the wheelchair ramp on their own, then the time needed to build and install the ramp will more likely double from 2 full days to more like 4-6 days to complete the project.<\/p>\n As you can see, there\u2019s a lot of labor cost to save by DIY, estimated at $65 to $215 per linear foot by Home Advisor and a total of about $2,200 according to Fixr, both of which are pretty accurate.<\/p>\n While most homeowners hire a contractor to build a wheelchair ramp, this is a project that you can do as long as ADA guidelines are followed correctly and you have experience with construction.\u00a0This Improvenet article details each guideline regarding the slope, landing, width, turns, runs, and handrails.\u00a0Safety is obviously paramount in wheelchair ramp construction, so unless you have good experience and skills, it\u2019s probably best to hire a professional for the work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $130 Per Foot Installed The cost of installing a handicap ramp is between from $90 \u2013 $175 per linear foot.\u00a0 Prices are based on the length and design of the ramp, the materials used, and whether or not a contractor is hired to do the job.
