Ramp Construction

Wheelchair ramps built to code with pressure-treated lumber

Our Saturday build teams construct sturdy 36-inch wide wooden ramps featuring continuous handrails and secure landings. Every slope is engineered at a gentle 1:12 ratio to ensure safe wheelchair access and smooth rolling entry right onto your front porch.

We supply all framing timber, decking screws, and concrete anchor footings entirely through community donations, ensuring zero financial burden for homeowners.

Interior Modifications

Grab bars, threshold plates, and door swings installed at zero expense

Small changes inside the house prevent dangerous falls and keep daily routines manageable. Our volunteers securely anchor wall grab bars in bathrooms, install aluminum threshold plates over doorway steps, and adjust door hinges for wider clearance.

Walkers, wheelchairs, and shower benches available with zero paperwork
