Home Accessibility
Get in, out, and through the home.
Often the highest-value projects: ramps, lifts, elevators, and structural changes that keep every floor and entrance reachable.
Wheelchair Ramps
Modular and custom ramps that replace steps at entrances with a safe, gentle slope.
Typical cost: $1,000–$3,000 modular; $5,000+ custom
Vertical Platform Lifts
Open platform lifts that raise a wheelchair between levels where a ramp won't fit.
Typical cost: $5,000–$12,000+, installed
Porch Lifts
Compact lifts for a few steps at a porch or entry — a small-footprint alternative to a long ramp.
Typical cost: $4,000–$10,000+, installed
Residential Elevators
Home elevators that link two or more floors — the most comprehensive multi-level solution.
Typical cost: $20,000–$50,000+, installed
Door Widening
Widening doorways (or fitting offset hinges) so wheelchairs and walkers pass through easily.
Typical cost: $500–$2,500 per doorway
Accessibility Contractors
Specialists who plan and build aging-in-place modifications across the whole home.
Typical cost: Project-based — $2,000 to $50,000+
Grants & funding
These projects are the best fit for the federal Home Accessibility Tax Credit and provincial accessibility/renovation grants. March of Dimes' Home & Vehicle Modification Program (Ontario) and Veterans Affairs may also contribute.
