Why We Use “Accessible” Instead of “Handicap” — And Why It Matters for Michigan Families
At BFA, LLC, we believe words shape how people view accessibility. While many still search for “handicap bathrooms,” we prefer terms like accessible, ADA-compliant, and barrier-free because they highlight independence and dignity. Learn how our approach balances respectful language with SEO so Michigan families can easily find the help they need.
When families begin searching for ways to make their homes safer, the words they type into Google matter. Many still search for “handicap bathroom remodel” or “handicap accessible shower.” At BFA, LLC, we understand why — those terms have been around for decades. But as Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists serving Southeast Michigan, we know that words carry weight. Today, the preferred terms are “accessible,” “ADA-compliant,” or “barrier-free.”
The word “handicap” often implies limitation. By contrast, “accessible” emphasizes freedom, safety, and independence. Our goal at BFA, LLC is to create homes where seniors, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities feel empowered — not restricted. That’s why our website, services, and designs use modern, respectful language.
You may still see the word “handicap” appear on our website. That’s intentional. Many families use it when searching for help, and we want them to find us when they need us most. Behind the scenes, we use these keywords to make sure our services appear in Google searches. But when you meet us in person, you’ll hear us talk about accessible bathrooms, barrier-free showers, ADA ramps, and age-in-place remodeling.
For us, accessibility is more than a construction project — it’s a way of restoring dignity, safety, and peace of mind at home. Whether it’s installing a roll-in shower in Novi, a wheelchair lift in Dexter, or a ramp in Ann Arbor, we bring expertise, compassion, and a deep respect for the families we serve.

Wheelchair Ramp Costs in Michigan: What Homeowners Need to Know
Installing a wheelchair ramp is one of the most important steps toward a safe, barrier-free home. Learn what to expect when budgeting for handicap ramp installation in Michigan.
Wheelchair Ramp Costs in Michigan: What Homeowners Need to Know
Installing a wheelchair ramp is one of the most effective ways to improve safety, independence, and accessibility at home. But one of the first questions most Michigan homeowners ask is: “How much does a handicap ramp cost?”
At BFA, LLC – Contractor & Disability Consultant, we’ve been installing ADA-compliant ramps across Southeast Michigan for more than 23 years. Below, we’ll walk you through average costs, the factors that affect pricing, and why choosing an experienced contractor matters.
Average Cost of a Wheelchair Ramp in Michigan
In Michigan, the average cost of a wheelchair ramp ranges between $1,800 and $8,000. The price depends on the size of the ramp, the material you choose, and the complexity of your installation.
Aluminum Modular Ramps: $150–$250 per linear foot
Wood or Composite Ramps: $120–$180 per linear foot
Threshold Ramps: $100–$400 per unit
Factors That Affect Ramp Pricing
1. Material Choice
Aluminum Modular Ramps – Durable, slip-resistant, and quick to install. A top choice for flexibility and long-term safety.
Wood/Composite Ramps – Strong, permanent, and customizable to match your home’s look.
Threshold Ramps – Small, cost-effective solutions for doorways and raised entry points.
2. Ramp Length & Slope
The longer the ramp, the higher the cost. ADA guidelines require a 1:12 slope (1 foot of ramp for every inch of rise). For example, a 24-inch step requires a 24-foot ramp.
3. Site Conditions
Soil grading, landscaping, or obstacles (trees, sidewalks, porches) can affect labor time and materials.
4. Permitting & Code Compliance
Most permanent ramps in Michigan require a building permit. At BFA, LLC, we handle all permitting and inspections, so you don’t have to.
Why Hiring a Certified Accessibility Contractor Matters
Not all ramps are built equally. Choosing a licensed Michigan contractor and Certified CAPS Remodeler ensures:
Proper slope ratios for safety
Handrails and landings that meet ADA standards
Long-lasting, low-maintenance materials
Peace of mind knowing permits and inspections are managed for you
Service Areas
We proudly provide ramp installation throughout Southeast Michigan, including:
Livingston County, Macomb County, Oakland County, Washtenaw County, and Wayne County communities. Local service areas include Northville, Plymouth, Canton, Livonia, Novi, Ann Arbor, Troy, Bloomfield Hills, Farmington Hills, Barton Hills, and Grosse Pointe.

At BFA, LLC – Contractor & Disability Consultant, we design and build Barrier-Free Showers with low thresholds, non-slip flooring, sturdy grab bars, and optional folding benches.
As Michigan Certified CAPS Remodelers, we understand the unique needs of seniors and families managing mobility challenges. Our showers are not only functional but also modern, stylish, and built to last.

Creating Barrier-Free Independence: Roll-In Shower and Roll-Under Sink Installation in Southeast Michigan
At BFA, LLC, we’re currently working on a project that brings safety and independence home — a custom roll-in shower and roll-under sink installation designed to meet our client’s needs.
At BFA, LLC – Contractor & Disability Consultant, every project begins with understanding our client’s unique accessibility needs.
We’re excited to share a current work-in-progress project: converting a traditional step-in shower into a fully accessible roll-in shower, paired with a custom roll-under bathroom sink.
Roll-In Shower: Safety & Comfort Combined
The new shower is being built with a curb-less entry, waterproofing, reinforced walls for future grab bars, and slip-resistant tile. These details allow for safe wheelchair entry and provide a dignified, barrier-free bathing experience.
Roll-Under Sink: Everyday Accessibility
We are also converting the bathroom sink into a roll-under sink with ADA-compliant clearances. This design gives the homeowner full, seated access to the vanity — improving independence with grooming and daily routines.
Why This Matters
Projects like this are more than construction. They provide peace of mind, safety, and independence. Our team is proud to serve families across Oakland, Wayne, Washtenaw, Livingston, and Macomb Counties with professional, compassionate service.
