The type readings, priced apart by frame
| Type reading | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Modular ramp | $1,500-$4,000 type row | $440-$5,500 type row |
| Permanent ramp | $2,000-$5,500 type row | $1,100-$6,600 type row |
| Project overall | $2,285 Frame A average | $2,292 Frame B average |
Each reading is one frame's own counting of one ramp type: a type row counts the named ramp form with its material lines inside it, and type rows are never blended across types or frames.
The type rows, priced apart
| Type row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent / custom | $2,000-$5,500 / $3,000-$7,500 | $1,100-$6,600 / in type frame |
| Modular / semi-permanent | $1,500-$4,000 / in type frame | $440-$5,500 / $385-$2,200 |
| Portable / mini | $100-$1,500 / in type frame | $110-$2,200 / $110-$220 |
| Threshold | $50-$500 | in type frame |
Frame A prints five type rows as its own table; Frame B prints its own five type rows beside them, and a row with no printed line in one frame stands as in that frame, never filled from the other frame.
The material lines, printed inside the type rows
| Material line, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Rubber / prefabricated aluminum | Frame B | $55-$165 / $110-$165 per linear foot |
| Aluminum / composite | Frame B | $165-$220 per linear foot |
| Wood | Frame B | $110-$275 per linear foot |
| Concrete / steel | Frame B | $220-$275 per linear foot |
The material lines count the same installation by its material alone: Frame B prints one line per material per linear foot, and the lines stand inside the type rows as printed, never split into figures of their own. The two frames count the same modular job differently -- Frame A reads a modular ramp at $1,500-$4,000 as a type row with an average project at $2,285, while Frame B counts the installed project per linear foot at $55-$275 and averages $2,292. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page here, never averaged.
The totals behind the rows, and the neighbours named apart
Behind the rows stand the headline lines: Frame A average project at $2,285 with labor at $50-$120 per linear foot, Frame B average at $2,292 with its built ramp at $2,061. The installation priced by length stands on the by-length guide. Named apart, never a row here: the aging-in-place hub's whole-home modifications table, a whole-home scope and never a single ramp ticket; stairlifts, a chair-on-rail purchase and never a ramp; and doorway widening, a carpentry row and never a ramp run.

Frequently asked questions
What does wheelchair ramp cost by type, as reported?
Frame A prints permanent at $2,000 to $5,500, modular at $1,500 to $4,000, portable at $100 to $1,500, and threshold at $50 to $500 as type rows. Frame B prints modular at $440 to $5,500 and permanent at $1,100 to $6,600 as its own type rows. A frame difference, never averaged.
What do the material lines print at, as reported?
Frame B prints rubber at $55 to $165, prefabricated aluminum at $110 to $165, aluminum at $165 to $220, and concrete at $220 to $275 per linear foot as material lines. Frame A prints no material lines, apart.
What do the small-ramp rows print at, as reported?
Frame A counts by ramp type, standing apart: portable at $100 to $1,500 and threshold at $50 to $500. Frame B prints mini at $110 to $220, portable at $110 to $2,200, and semi-permanent at $385 to $2,200 beside them.
What does the custom row print at, as reported?
Frame A prints custom at $3,000 to $7,500 as its own type row, its average project at $2,285 beside it. Frame B stands in its $2,292 average and its type rows, apart.
Is a type row the same purchase as a whole-home modification or a stairlift?
No. Each row prices one ramp type in one installation, off a $2,285 average in Frame A and a $2,292 average in Frame B. The whole-home hub table, stairlifts, and doorway widening sit in their own lanes, named apart.
