How Much Does a Wheelchair Ramp Cost in Georgia? (2026 Pricing Guide)

Wheelchair Ramp Costs in Georgia: Quick Summary

The cost of a wheelchair ramp depends on material, length, and complexity. Here's a quick reference for Georgia homeowners in 2026:

• Aluminum modular ramp: $150–$250 per linear foot
• Wood ramp (pressure-treated): $100–$200 per linear foot
• Concrete ramp: $200–$400 per linear foot
• Portable/folding ramp: $100–$500 (total, not per foot)

Example: A 20-foot aluminum ramp typically costs $3,000–$5,000 installed.

Cost Factors That Affect Your Price

1. Height to Overcome

ADA requires a 1:12 slope ratio — meaning 12 inches of ramp length for every 1 inch of rise. A typical 30-inch porch requires a minimum 30-foot ramp with switchbacks and landings. More height = more ramp = more cost.

2. Material Choice

Aluminum is the most popular choice in Georgia because it's maintenance-free, weather-resistant, and can be relocated. Wood offers a more traditional look but requires annual staining and eventual replacement. Concrete is permanent and ADA-compliant but the most expensive.

3. Site Conditions

Uneven terrain, landscaping removal, and concrete pad requirements can add $500–$2,000 to the project. Georgia's red clay soil sometimes requires additional grading and drainage work.

4. Handrails & Safety Features

ADA-compliant handrails (required for rises over 6 inches) add approximately $30–$60 per linear foot. Non-slip surfaces and edge protection are included in all our installations.

Ramp vs. Vertical Platform Lift: Which Is Better?

If your porch is more than 36 inches high, a ramp becomes very long (36+ feet with switchbacks). In these cases, a vertical platform lift (VPL) or FlexStep may be more practical and cost-effective. VPLs take up a 5×5 foot footprint vs. a 36-foot ramp.
