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.
