2. Carpenters and home improvement contractors
have limited skills in ramp design.

excavation of your property.

5. Wood and concrete are PERMANENT structures
6. Such permanent ramps are considered home modifications and are not reimbursable as Durable Medical Equipment (DME).
7. Permanent ramps devalue the resale value of your home.
8. Permits are required for permanent ramps.
