Getting past the front steps.
The front steps are the first thing between you and your own front door. When they've become the hard part of coming and going — with a walker, a wheelchair, a cane, groceries, or just an unsteady day — a porch platform lift or a wheelchair ramp puts your entrance back in easy reach.
Our own crew, with over 700 installs and more than 70 years in the trade.
We install both for homes across the Gulf South with our own crew — the price, the timing and the warranty in writing before you commit.
Sorting this out for a parent whose front steps have become too much? We'll answer both of you, in writing.
What you can count on
Our own installers on every job; a written quote that carries the price, the timing and the warranty; nobody pushing you; and the name of the person in charge of your job.
Two ways past the steps
A platform lift at the entrance
A porch platform lift carries a person and their wheelchair or scooter straight up the height of the steps, on a platform the size of a small landing. It takes almost none of the yard, rides outdoors year-round, and handles a tall porch as easily as three steps. The fit when the rise is high, the yard is tight, or you'd rather ride than roll.
A ramp built to your entrance
A modular aluminum wheelchair ramp is built to the height of your steps at a safe slope, with landings and turns as the entry needs. It holds up outdoors, can be adjusted or moved if things change, and is one of the faster things we install. The fit when there's room for the run and the rise is modest.
Which one fits your entrance
The height of the steps and the room at the entrance decide it. A ramp needs a run — the taller the steps, the longer the ramp, until it would take the whole yard. A platform lift needs a footprint the size of a landing and a power connection. We measure the entrance and lay out both before you commit; where your entrance could take either, we price both so you can compare.

How it goes
A call or request a quote, a measurement of the height of your steps and the room at the entrance, and a written quote — the price, the timing, the warranty, and the name of the person in charge of your job — with no pressure to decide on the spot.
Common questions
- Lift or ramp — which is right for my steps?
- It comes down to the height of the steps and the space at the entrance. A tall porch or a tight yard points to a platform lift; a modest rise with room for the run points to a ramp. We measure and tell you which one fits, in the quote — and price both where either would work.
- How quickly can it go in?
- A modular ramp is one of the faster options we install; a platform lift is ordered to the height it serves, so its equipment takes longer to arrive. We'll give you the real timeline for your entrance in writing — see when something happened if you're working against a discharge date.
