Installing a ramp for a home may be necessary for those who cannot use stairs due to mobility issues. There are a number of factors that will determine how much it costs for ramp installation. The type of ramp and materials used are going to play the largest part in determining cost. Homeowners can choose from pre-designed and prefabricated ramps or have a customized ramp designed and built. For those who don’t plan on staying long, modular ramps are also available for a premium cost. The size and slope of the ramp could affect installation costs, as well. Item Unit cost Quantity Line Cost Aluminum $60 per feet 30 $1,800 Concrete $20-$50 per feet 30 $600-$1,500 Galvanized Steel $33-$40 per feet 30 $990-$1,200 Wood $13-$50 per feet 30 $390-$1,500 Total Cost $13-$60 per feet 30 $390-$1,800

Other considerations and costs

Ramp kits are also available to be professionally installed. These will usually cost less than buying all the materials and hardware, and may also need less labor. The most important thing when constructing a ramp to a home is to ensure that all ADA specifications are followed. Also check your local building codes, as some areas have specific requirements of their own for building and installing ramps on the front of a property. These cost estimates are for exterior ramp installation to provide access to the home. Interior ramps are an entirely different project and have their own costs and considerations. They are generally much more affordable, though. Depending on your existing outdoor lighting, you can hire an electrician to install lighting on the new ramp for safety. This will incur an additional charge, but should only take a couple of hours.

DIY considerations

Ramp kits and materials are available at local home improvement stores and disability supply stores. If you have moderate to expert handy skills, you may be able to build a safe, ADA-approved ramp on your own to save money on labor. Alternatively, you can hire a helper or two instead of paying for a full installation, making it a more affordable project.

How do you jack up a shed and move it?

Dig under the shed so you can place jacks to lift it. If you're moving a large shed, you will need a jack at each corner, or you may only need 2 jacks for smaller sheds. To move the shed a short distance, create a conveyor belt out of sturdy pipes and boards and roll it to its new location, then gently ease it down.
