Wheelchair ramp costs
Angi puts average wheelchair ramp installation at $2,292 in 2026, with a typical range of $1,122-$3,594 and a per-foot cost of $100-$250 installed. By type: threshold ramps $50-$500, portable ramps $100-$1,500, modular systems $1,500-$4,000, permanent builds $2,000-$5,500, and custom designs $3,000-$7,500. HomeGuide reports a wider overall span of $50 to $6,000+ across all ramp types.

Length is the main cost driver, and length is set by rise, not by preference. At the ADA's 1:12 maximum running slope, every additional inch of rise adds a foot of ramp - and at $100-$250 per linear foot installed, that inch costs real money. This is why two homes on the same street can get quotes that differ by thousands: one has three steps, the other has seven.
Material matters less than most people expect. HomeGuide's per-linear-foot installed figures: wood $100-$250, aluminum $130-$225, composite $150-$200, steel $200-$250, concrete $200-$250. Wood has the widest range because a cheap wood ramp and a properly built one are very different objects. Aluminum's advantage is speed and removability, not headline price.
The line items that go missing from quotes: handrails at $20-$50 per linear foot, non-slip surfacing at $5-$20 per foot, permits at $50-$300 where required, and annual maintenance at $50-$300. On a 24-foot ramp, handrails on both sides alone can add close to a thousand dollars - and ADA geometry requires them on both sides once the rise exceeds 6 inches, so they are not optional in any ramp built to that benchmark.
If the need is short-term, rent rather than build. HomeGuide reports ramp rentals at $20-$60+ per week or $80-$200+ per month. For a post-surgery recovery measured in weeks, renting a modular or portable ramp is almost always the right financial answer, and it avoids a permanent structure nobody needs in six months.
How to choose
Choosing wheelchair ramps on cost
The judgement calls that decide the bill, before anyone quotes you.
- Price per foot, then check the length A quote that looks cheap per foot but assumes an unsafe slope isn't cheap. Confirm the ramp length matches the measured rise at 1:12.
- Make handrails and surfacing line items At $20-$50 per linear foot for handrails and $5-$20 per foot for non-slip surfacing, these belong on the quote, not in a change order.
- Ask about landings explicitly Level landings at top and bottom, and 60-by-60-inch clear landings at direction changes, add both footprint and cost. A quote without them will grow.
- Rent for temporary needs At $80-$200+ per month, renting beats building for anything under roughly a year, and a modular system can be removed and resold later.
- Compare a modular kit against a wood build Modular at $1,500-$4,000 versus permanent construction at $2,000-$5,500 is often close enough that removability and resale value decide it.

Angi reports an average of $2,292 with a typical range of $1,122-$3,594. Costs by size run about $600-$1,000 for a 6-foot ramp, $1,200-$2,500 at 12 feet, $2,400-$5,000 at 24 feet, and $3,600-$7,500 at 36 feet or more.
Per linear foot installed, HomeGuide reports wood at $100-$250, aluminum $130-$225, composite $150-$200, steel $200-$250 and concrete $200-$250. Wood's low end is only real if the build quality is real.
Permit requirements are set locally - call your building department, because we cannot tell you your jurisdiction's rules. Where permits are required, reported costs run $50-$300.
Materials-only DIY runs $500-$2,000 with tool rental at $50-$300, per Angi. That's a real saving on paper. It is only a saving if the finished ramp holds the correct slope, landings, handrails and edge protection - a steep homemade ramp is a fall hazard, not a bargain.
Angi reports annual ramp maintenance at $50-$300, covering things like resealing wood, re-treading non-slip surfaces and tightening hardware.
