Category: Wheelchair Access

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.
