"Kirk redid our bathroom (shower, toilet, floor and exhaust fan). He listened to what you wanted, only gave his input when asked and was honest, which I appreciate. He would make a suggestion on things we didn’t even consider and he was not pushy about it and let you decide. Once they started the work, we were able to make the shower bigger which I was happy about but this made for a little extra time since he needed to order a new shower door and grab bar. He offered to put shower rod so we could use but we had another shower. This is someone who cares. Also, Walter and his crew were amazing. On time, professional and cleaned everything up. We will be using Kirk again when we redo our full bathroom. Thanks Kirk, Walter and crew. We are enjoying our shower. It was a pleasure working with you."

"Ron and his crew took twice as long as quoted on my project which was a simple shower installation. When they said they were done, I found multiple mistakes. They used wood screws to secure a shower door frame and failed to caulk any of the joints. They also left a ton of damage to my walls that I had to call them back to repair and repaint. To aid with entry to my building, I loaned them a set of spare keys, which they forgot to bring and had to return on a separate trip. After I submitted the final payment, I found that they neglected to secure the button sill of the shower door at all and it simply slid out of place. I sent Ron a message asking for a return of my payment and he has been silent. Amateur work, no attention to detail, carelessness. Don't hire these guys for your project, hire professionals"

The time frame for installing a wheelchair ramp depends on the ramp’s design complexity, the number of modifications required, permit processing times, and labor efforts. A contractor can install a prefabricated model in as little as a few hours, while custom-built designs can take multiple days.
The cost to repair a wheelchair ramp is between $625 and $2,200, depending on the ramp type and the severity of the damage. Portable ramps are often the least expensive to repair, while custom wooden and aluminum models are the most costly.
Many private insurance companies cover wheelchair ramps when the equipment is essential for home accessibility improvements. It is important to consult your insurance provider to confirm specific benefit details and any necessary prerequisites. In cases where your private insurer does not offer coverage, government assistance programs may provide the financial support required for installing the ramp.
Wheelchair ramps must meet ADA guidelines that specify criteria for slope, landing dimensions, length, and handrail construction. Although homeowners are not legally mandated to follow these standards, meeting them greatly enhances safety and functionality. Ensure your ramp maintains the maximum slope ratio of one inch per foot and includes secure, appropriately sized landings and handrails for optimal access.
Wheelchair ramps are not the sole answer to home accessibility needs. Stairlifts and platform lifts offer viable alternatives, with stair lifts providing effective indoor mobility support and platform lifts accommodating both indoor and outdoor settings. These options are particularly beneficial in homes with limited space or where elevation changes exceed ramp capabilities, and they must be installed with strict safety measures.
