The Importance of Mobility and Independence in your Home
Mobility and Independence are extremely precious things for those that have been injured, have a disability or are just getting older and are less mobile. A few simple steps become major obstacles posing a threat to safety as well as discomfort and worry. We had a customer struggling with navigating stairs into his home. We were asked to build a wheelchair access ramp in the garage to allow for easy and safe movement in and out of his house.
We had a couple of choices; build from scratch using wood or look at an ADA compliant prebuilt ramp. We collaborated with our partners at American Access Ramps to design, build and install a good looking, clean, and compliant metal ramp for our customer. This ramp is made from expanded aluminum which is slip resistant. The ramp is designed to meet the needs of someone in a wheelchair, walker or someone who is mobile but has challenges with navigating stairs. The ADA compliant design among other things, calculates the proper rise and run allowing for easy movement. The ramp is custom fit to the door threshold minimizing as many tripping hazards as possible. In the future, the ramp can be repositioned, moved to another location, repurposed, or sold giving the owners plenty of options that a ramp made of wood does not. The price is also very comparable to wood particularly when you consider the cost and availability of wood today as well as the cost of labor for construction. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this project as is our customer.

News and Events Post
As a husband, father, working professional and a weekend warrior homeowner, my honey-do lists seemed to grow larger and larger with each passing hour, day, and week. As I got older, as my family changed and got more active my time became even more precious. Finding time, anytime, to work on tasks and projects around the house became nearly impossible. My honey-do list became more than one person can tackle.
Over the years, finding someone to help get tasks and projects done around the house was a lot harder than I had ever imagined. Finding a reliable, trustworthy, and responsive organization or person(s) was like searching for needles in a haystack. Sure, there are people out there who will do the work. Are they insured, bonded and capable of doing the work to the level of your expectations? I found that if I could get someone to respond, I could be squeezed in, added to, or scheduled in a time and day that always seemed inconvenient. I then often felt I needed to supervise and watch over the work that needed to be done as my level of trust was not aided by the appearance and professionalism of the workers. In the end, the amount of work finding, scheduling, and supervising the work to be done took almost as long as if I did the work myself.
