Wheelchair Ramp & Threshold Ramp Installation Serving Tampa, Florida

A permanent ramp is an investment in the home—built to integrate with the architecture, engineered for long-term use, and designed to serve the individual through changing mobility needs. Done right, it looks like part of the house. Done wrong, it looks like a plywood afterthought bolted to the porch.

We build ramps with ADA-compliant 1:12 slope ratios—twelve inches of ramp length for every inch of rise—so wheelchairs, power scooters, and walkers navigate safely without excessive effort or dangerous momentum. Handrails on both sides, non-slip surfaces rated for wet conditions, and level landings at the top, bottom, and every turn are standard. We match materials and finishes to the existing home—a historic bungalow in Hyde Park has different aesthetic priorities than a modern stucco home in New Tampa, and both deserve a ramp that belongs on the property. Hillsborough County permitting, flood zone considerations, and code compliance are handled by our team from start to finish.

Not every situation calls for permanent construction. A renter in a Downtown Tampa apartment can’t modify the building’s entry. A patient being discharged from BayCare St. Joseph’s needs immediate access before permits and construction timelines allow for permanent work. Someone recovering from a temporary mobility limitation in a Lutz home doesn’t need a permanent installation for a six-month recovery.

We supply and install portable and modular ramp systems from EZ-ACCESS and Harmar—engineered aluminum ramps that provide code-compliant access without structural changes to the home. Modular systems can be reconfigured as needs change, extended if elevation increases, or removed entirely when no longer needed. For families dealing with a sudden discharge timeline or a mobility diagnosis that’s still evolving, portable systems get someone safely into the home while permanent options are being evaluated.

Not every ramp barrier is a full flight of stairs. The half-inch lip at a sliding glass door to the lanai. The raised threshold between the living room and the Florida room. The weather seal ridge at an exterior door in Valrico. The small step down into a sunken den in an older Seffner home. These elevation changes are often just an inch or two—but they stop wheelchair wheels dead and catch walker tips.

Threshold ramps are low-profile wedge systems that bridge these small elevation changes and create smooth, flush transitions. We install them at interior doorways, exterior doors, sliding glass doors, and room transitions throughout the home. In older Hillsborough County homes—especially the concrete block construction common across Carrollwood, Temple Terrace, and Town ‘n’ Country—a single home can have six or eight threshold barriers that collectively make wheelchair navigation exhausting. We identify and address every one of them during the assessment, not just the obvious ones at the main entry.

Getting a ramp project approved through a waiver program or completed to Hillsborough County code requires more than a tape measure and a quote. Waiver authorization requires specific documentation. Permanent structural ramps require building permits, inspections, and flood zone verification in many parts of Tampa. Skipping any of those steps creates problems that show up later—denied authorizations, failed inspections, or ramps that don’t meet the individual’s actual needs.

Our C.E.A.C. certified team conducts Environmental Accessibility Assessments at each home, measuring elevation, evaluating soil and drainage conditions, reviewing available yard space, and documenting the specific mobility equipment the individual uses. For waiver-funded projects—iBudget, CDC+, SMMC-LTC—we complete the EAA with the detail each program requires and submit paperwork that supports authorization the first time. Support coordinators across Hillsborough County work with us specifically because our documentation doesn’t get kicked back for revisions.
