Wheelchair Ramps in York, PA

York rowhomes, Cape Cods, and township porches

Downtown and the blocks around Penn Park, the Avenues, and the east end are rowhomes with three to six steps straight to the sidewalk. The ramp either turns along the front with a landing at the door, uses the rear alley entrance, or gives way to a vertical platform lift when the rise passes about 30 inches and the sidewalk is too tight for a run. Spring Garden and East York are post-war Cape Cods and ranches with a few porch steps and a lawn, where a straight or L-shaped ramp goes in before lunch. Springettsbury, West Manchester, Dallastown, and Red Lion add split-levels and newer two-stories, often with a garage entry of two or three steps that takes a short indoor ramp.

WellSpan York Hospital and UPMC Memorial send people home with walkers and chairs every day, and a modular ramp installed before the discharge is one of the most common jobs we do in the county.

A modular ramp in York, with buy-back

Purchase with buy-back: the EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY 3G ramp disassembles and gets reused, so ask about buy-back when it is no longer needed. Landlords say yes because nothing is attached to the house. The system: 36 inches of clear width between handrails, 1,000 lb capacity, slip-resistant surface, welded aluminum, tool-free connections on adjustable legs, lifetime warranty, with platforms up to 8 by 5 feet, turn platforms, stair sections, and gates. The modular ramps page has the length table, and our post on getting a wheelchair into a house with steps compares every option.

Porch ramp cost in York

For most York city homes the first question is how long the ramp is needed. For a few months of recovery, ask about buy-back when it comes out, since aluminum sections hold their value. Either way the price follows the length: one foot of ramp per inch of rise at the ADA slope, or half that at 2:12 for a power chair with help, plus a platform at the door and one at each turn. Tell us the number of steps on the phone and we will give you a rough length and price, then measure and put the exact number in writing within 24 hours. No travel charge in York County. Financing is available, and whether Medicare covers a ramp is answered on the blog.

Installed in a day

We measure from the ground to the top of the threshold, lay out the run and landings, and check the door swing at the top platform. Sections hook together with pre-assembled handrails, so a typical porch ramp is installed in a few hours with no digging, no concrete, and usually no permit for a home. York is twenty minutes from the shop and sections are on the shelf, so a discharge date this week is usually workable. Tell us the date.

Drive time and scheduling

York is about 20 minutes from our shop in Etters, PA. We group visits by area, so a free consultation in York is usually available within a few days, and most ramps are measured on one visit and installed on the next, often within the same week.
