The length readings, priced apart by frame
| Length reading | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Per linear foot | $50-$120 labor line | $55-$275 installed line |
| 24-foot run | in per-foot frame | $1,320-$6,600 length row |
| Project overall | $2,285 Frame A average | $2,292 Frame B average |
Each reading is one frame's own counting of one length: a per-foot line counts the run by its length alone, a rise band counts the run its rise keys at the printed 1:12 line, and the two are never blended.
The rise bands, priced apart
| Rise row | Run at the 1:12 line | Frame B length reading |
|---|---|---|
| 6-inch rise / 12-inch rise | 6 feet / 12 feet | $330-$1,650 / $660-$3,300 |
| 18-inch rise / 24-inch rise | 18 feet / 24 feet | $990-$4,950 / $1,320-$6,600 |
| 30-inch rise | 30 feet | $1,650-$8,250 |
| 4-foot / 8-foot runs | printed length rows | $220-$1,100 / $440-$2,200 |
| 32-foot run | printed length row | $1,760-$8,800 |
Frame B prints its length table in four-foot rows and one per-foot line; a band between rows reads the span its run keys on that per-foot line, never as a figure of its own.
The per-foot rows, priced apart
| Per-foot line, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Installed, per linear foot | Frame B | $55-$275 |
| Labor, per linear foot | Frame A | $50-$120 |
| Labor, per hour | Frame A | $50-$100 |
| Modular type row, apart | Frame A | $1,500-$4,000 |
The per-foot lines count the same run by length alone: Frame A prints a labor line per foot beside its type rows, Frame B prints one installed line per foot, and neither line is carried into a length row total here. 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 adder rows, priced apart from the run
The adders stand priced apart from the run itself: handrails at $20-$50 per linear foot, non-slip at $5-$20 per foot, and permits at $50-$300 in Frame A, and a landing row with no figure printed in either frame. 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 length, as reported?
Frame B prints $55 to $275 per linear foot, a 24-foot run at $1,320 to $6,600, and a 32-foot run at $1,760 to $8,800 as length rows. Frame A prints labor at $50 to $120 per linear foot beside its $1,500 to $4,000 modular row. A frame difference, never averaged.
What does the rise-to-run read print at the 1:12 line, as reported?
One foot of run per inch of rise, as printed: a 24-inch rise keys a 24-foot run. Frame B reads that run at $1,320 to $6,600 on its length table, apart in its own frame.
What do the adder rows print at, as reported?
Frame A counts the adders apart from the run, standing apart: handrails at $20 to $50 per linear foot, non-slip at $5 to $20 per foot, and permits at $50 to $300. Frame B stands in its $55 to $275 per-foot line, apart.
What do the short-run rows print at, as reported?
Frame B prints a 4-foot run at $220 to $1,100 and an 8-foot run at $440 to $2,200 as length rows. Frame A prints no length table, apart.
Is a length row the same purchase as a whole-home modification or a stairlift?
No. Each row prices one run length 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.
