Wheelchair Ramps for Homes
Maintain your independence with safe, durable residential wheelchair ramps.
Whether you're recovering from a temporary injury or making your home permanently accessible, Express Ramps has a solution engineered for your entryway, your equipment, and your budget.
Find the Right Home Ramp for Your Needs
Modular Aluminum Ramp Systems (PATHWAY® 3G). The gold standard for long-term home accessibility. These residential wheelchair ramp systems are fully configurable to fit porches, decks, and complex entryways with multiple turns and platforms. Rust-proof aluminum construction means virtually zero maintenance, and the design meets residential ramp code requirements. Most systems install in hours — no concrete, no permits in most areas.
Gateway 3G Wheelchair Ramps. Straight aluminum ramps up to 10 feet long, available with or without handrails. An economical choice for decks, single landings, and short stair runs.
Portable Wheelchair Ramps (SUITCASE® Singlefold & Trifold). Lightweight folding ramps up to 10 feet that travel wherever you go. Perfect for visiting family, navigating curbs and steps, or loading a scooter into a vehicle.
Door Threshold Ramps. Eliminate tripping hazards at doorways and single steps. Available in aluminum and rubber for rises up to 6 inches, with adjustable and modular options for a perfect fit
Q. What size wheelchair ramp do I need for my home?
A. The recommended slope is 1:12 — one foot of ramp for every inch of rise. A 24-inch high porch needs a 24-foot ramp. For occupied power chairs and scooters, never exceed this slope. Our free Ramp Wizard calculates the exact length for your entryway.
Q. Do I need a permit to install a wheelchair ramp at my home?
A. Most modular aluminum ramps are considered temporary medical equipment and don't require a permit in most areas, but requirements vary by municipality. Check with your local building department before installation.
Q. Which is better: a wood ramp or an aluminum ramp?
A. Aluminum ramps cost about the same as professionally built wood ramps but won't rot, rust, or warp, install in hours instead of days, require no maintenance, and can be reconfigured or resold when no longer needed.
Q. Are wheelchair ramps covered by Medicare or insurance?
A. Original Medicare generally doesn't cover home ramps, but some Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid waivers, VA benefits, and state assistance programs do. Express Ramps also offers financing options, and qualifying customers may be sales-tax exempt.
Q. How long does it take to install a modular wheelchair ramp?
A. Most PATHWAY® 3G modular ramp systems install in 2–4 hours with basic hand tools. No concrete footings are required — the ramps rest on self-leveling support legs.
Q. What is the weight capacity of residential wheelchair ramps?
A. Most of our home ramps support 800+ lbs, accommodating the user, their wheelchair or power scooter, and a caregiver.
Q. Can a wheelchair ramp be used in rain and snow?
A. Yes. Our ramps feature slip-resistant, high-traction surfaces designed for year-round outdoor use, and the aluminum construction will not rust.
Q. How fast will my ramp ship?
A. Most orders ship free within 3–5 business days to the contiguous United States. Larger ramp systems ship by freight truck.
