  • Wheelchair Ramp and New Porch

    Wheelchair Ramp and New Porch

    A wheelchair ramp and new porch renovation. The old porch was stepped down and too small to turn a wheelchair.

    I excavated with a small machine, put forms in for concrete footing and a small wall, repaired the the sidewalk, added plastic lattice on top of the framing and new porch wall.

    The new upper porch is longer and wider making a wheelchair entrance possible. The wheelchair ramp is sloped a bit at an angle so that the sidewalk was not covered, and the staircase on the side of the property has access and could be used.

  • Pool Deck Frame

    Pool Deck Frame

    He inherited an older Home from his father and redesigned the inside for wheelchair accessible living.

    He bought a new above ground pool that required a deck he can pull himself across, enter and exit the pool, and get back into his wheelchair.

    I built the 5′ x 16′ frame which the homeowner will finish with decking. (will post a completed photo)
