Restoring Mobility and Freedom to Your Ottawa Home
Are you or a loved one feeling trapped by the very steps that lead to your front door? The sudden realization that your home is no longer accessible can be overwhelming, creating a sense of isolation and anxiety every time you need to leave the house. For many Ottawa homeowners in neighborhoods like The Glebe or Westboro, older porch designs and steep entryways pose a significant daily challenge. Navigating these barriers with a wheelchair, walker, or power chair shouldn’t feel like an uphill battle.
The consequences of delaying a necessary ramp installation can be severe. Using temporary, unstable solutions or struggling with steps increases the risk of dangerous falls, which can lead to long-term injury and a loss of independence. For landlords and small business owners in Centretown or ByWard Market, failing to provide barrier-free access isn’t just a safety issue—it’s a liability concern that could violate the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Your property should be a place of welcome, not a series of obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Services
If you have more questions, feel free to reach out! We’re always here to help you get the information you need.
The cost of ramp installation varies significantly based on the length required to achieve a safe slope and the materials used. Aluminum modular ramps are often more expensive upfront but save on long-term maintenance, while wood is cost-effective but requires staining. We provide fixed pricing after an on-site evaluation to ensure no surprises.
In the City of Ottawa, most permanent ramps require a building permit to ensure they meet safety and zoning requirements. However, some temporary or modular solutions may fall under different rules. As part of our commercial ramp contractors service, we can assist in navigating the permit process.
The Ontario Building Code generally requires a 1:12 slope ratio—this means for every 1 inch of vertical rise, you need 12 inches of horizontal ramp. This ensures the incline is safe for manual wheelchair users to navigate without excessive strain.
Aluminum is best for those seeking a fast, maintenance-free, and potentially portable solution. Wood is preferred for homeowners who want a permanent structure that matches their existing deck or porch. During our consultation, we’ll help you decide which handicap ramp replacement material fits your home best.
To accommodate most mobility devices comfortably, a ramp should have a minimum clear width of 36 inches between handrails. We often recommend 42 to 48 inches for power chairs or to allow for easier turns on landings.
