Aluminum modular ramps cost $150–$250 per linear foot installed. Wood ramps run $100–$200 per foot. A typical 20-foot ramp costs $3,000–$5,000. VA grants and Medicaid waivers may cover the full cost for qualifying individuals.

Does Medicare cover walk-in tubs?+

Original Medicare (Parts A & B) generally does not cover walk-in tubs. However, many Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans offer supplemental benefits for home modifications. We help you check your specific coverage.

Are your estimates free?+

Yes! We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all projects. We also prepare estimates formatted specifically for VA grant and Medicaid waiver submissions at no extra charge.

🔧 FlexStep Platform Lift

What is FlexStep?+

FlexStep is a revolutionary staircase that transforms into a wheelchair platform lift at the push of a button. It serves both pedestrians (as stairs) and wheelchair users (as a lift) in the same compact footprint — with no structural changes required.

Who installs FlexStep in Georgia?+

Delightful Services is the ONLY certified FlexStep installer in the entire state of Georgia. We serve Atlanta, Marietta, Cartersville, Alpharetta, Roswell, and all surrounding areas.

How much does FlexStep cost?+

FlexStep pricing varies based on configuration, height, number of steps, and indoor/outdoor placement. Contact us for a free, customized quote. It is significantly more affordable than a traditional elevator.

Can FlexStep be installed outdoors?+

Yes! FlexStep is available in weatherproof configurations for porches, decks, and building entrances. It withstands rain, snow, and UV exposure.

Does FlexStep work during power outages?+

Yes. FlexStep includes an emergency battery backup system that allows continued operation during power failures.

Is FlexStep ADA compliant?+

Yes, FlexStep meets all ADA accessibility requirements for both residential and commercial applications. It supports up to 660 lbs.

Accessibility & ADA

What home modifications help seniors age in place?+

The most impactful modifications are: grab bars in bathrooms, walk-in tubs or barrier-free showers, wheelchair ramps, stair lifts or FlexStep, widened doorways, non-slip flooring, and lever-style door handles. We offer free home safety assessments.

Do I need a permit for a wheelchair ramp in Georgia?+

It depends on your county. Many Georgia jurisdictions require permits for permanent ramps. As a licensed general contractor, we handle all permitting and inspections for you.

What is the ADA slope requirement for ramps?+

ADA requires a maximum slope of 1:12 (1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of run). We recommend 1:16 or 1:20 for easier use, especially for manual wheelchair users.

Can you modify my bathroom for wheelchair access?+

Absolutely. We convert standard bathrooms into fully accessible spaces with roll-in showers, ADA-height toilets, grab bars, and 60-inch turning radius. We also install walk-in tubs for those who prefer bathing.

Do you work with VA grants for veterans?+

Yes! We have extensive experience with VA SAH, SHA, and HISA grants. We prepare estimates specifically formatted for VA submissions and coordinate directly with VA inspectors.

Construction & Renovation

Are you licensed and insured?+

Yes. Delightful Services is fully licensed, insured, and bonded for residential and commercial construction in the state of Georgia. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation for all our crew.

What areas do you serve?+

We serve the entire state of Georgia, including Metro Atlanta (Atlanta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta), North Georgia (Cartersville, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Canton), and surrounding counties.

How long does a typical renovation take?+

Timelines vary by project: grab bar installation takes 1-2 hours, a tub-to-shower conversion takes 1-2 days, a bathroom remodel takes 2-6 weeks, and a kitchen renovation takes 4-8 weeks.

Do you handle permits and inspections?+

Yes. As a full-service general contractor, we handle all permitting, scheduling inspections, and ensuring your project meets Georgia building codes and ADA requirements.

Can you help with commercial ADA compliance?+

Yes, we perform ADA audits and barrier removal for commercial buildings, churches, schools, and offices. We ensure compliance with Title III of the ADA and Georgia state codes.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Georgia?+

A minor kitchen refresh (paint, hardware, fixtures) takes 1-2 weeks. A mid-range remodel (cabinets, countertops, backsplash) takes 4-6 weeks. A major renovation with structural changes takes 8-12 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins.

What is the best countertop material for Georgia kitchens?+

Quartz is the most popular choice — it's non-porous, stain-resistant, and maintenance-free. Granite remains a solid option at a lower price point. For budget projects, butcher block and laminate offer great value.

Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?+

Absolutely. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most popular services. We remove the tub, re-do plumbing, waterproof the area, and install a custom tile shower. Typical cost: $3,000-$8,000 depending on finishes.

Do you handle the entire kitchen remodel or just parts?+

We handle everything: demolition, plumbing, electrical, framing, drywall, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, painting, and appliance installation. One team, one contract, one point of contact.

What bathroom upgrades add the most home value?+

Walk-in showers (ROI: 70-80%), double vanities, updated tile work, and proper lighting have the highest resale impact. A mid-range bathroom remodel in Georgia returns 60-70% at resale.

Home Improvement

What type of flooring is best for Georgia homes?+

LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is the most popular for Georgia due to its 100% waterproof properties and humidity resistance. Engineered hardwood is ideal for main living areas. We recommend a hybrid approach: hardwood upstairs, LVP downstairs and in wet areas.

How often should I repaint my house exterior in Georgia?+

Every 5-7 years in Georgia due to intense UV, humidity, and rain. Using premium paint (Sherwin-Williams Duration, Benjamin Moore Aura) extends this to 7-10 years. Signs you need repainting: peeling, chalking, fading, or visible wood.

Is a deck or patio better for Georgia homes?+

Both are excellent. Decks (composite: $25-50/sqft) are elevated and great for sloped yards. Patios (concrete/pavers: $15-30/sqft) are ground-level and lower maintenance. For Georgia, we recommend composite decking over wood due to humidity and termite risk.

How do I know if I need a new roof?+

Warning signs: shingles curling or missing, granules in gutters, daylight through attic boards, water stains on ceilings, roof age over 20 years, and increasing energy bills. We offer free roof inspections to assess condition.

Is a room addition cheaper than moving to a bigger home?+

Usually yes. A room addition costs $150-$300/sqft ($30,000-$120,000 for typical projects). Moving costs $28,000-$74,000+ in agent fees, closing costs, and moving expenses — plus potentially a much higher mortgage rate. Adding on preserves your existing low rate.
