Temporary To Permanent Wheelchair Ramp

Screen Shot 2014-06-07 at 4

I’m going to admit that I’ve never been a hug fan of the aluminum temporary wheelchair ramps. I think they’re not the most structurally sound and don’t look all that great. I prefer the sturdiness and look of wooden ramps with post footings or a concrete ramps. Here is a temporary ramp that was replaced by a wooden one. Constructed by Specialistic Construction, Inc of Highland, Michigan.

As you can see from the before and after pictures, the wooden wheelchair ramp just looks better and safer. The ramp and deck looks like it’s part of the house and not an add on. Plus they installed a nice sized concrete landing at the bottom. To see more of Specialistic Construction, Inc’s work visit www.GoSpecialistic.com.
