Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about wheelchair ramps & platform lifts in San Bernardino
What slope ratio is required for wheelchair ramps?
ADA-compliant ramps require a 1:12 slope ratio (1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of length). For steep terrain like San Bernardino's hillside properties, we may design switchback ramps to meet this requirement.
Do I need a permit for ramp installation in San Bernardino?
Yes, most permanent ramp installations require permits from San Bernardino County. We handle all permit applications and ensure full compliance with local building codes.
Can you install ramps on hillside properties?
Absolutely. We specialize in San Bernardino's challenging hillside terrain and design custom ramp solutions that meet ADA requirements while working with your property's topography.
How long does ramp installation take?
Most wheelchair ramp installations complete in 1-2 days. Porch lifts typically require 2-3 days. Modular systems can often be installed the same day.
Are modular ramps as safe as permanent ramps?
Yes. Quality modular ramps meet the same ADA standards as permanent installations. They're ideal for temporary needs or rental properties.
Will a ramp work in San Bernardino's weather?
Yes. We install weather-resistant materials with non-slip surfaces designed for San Bernardino's climate, including occasional rain and temperature variations.
