This cluster prices a wheelchair ramp alone -- a single ramp installation as the whole ticket, priced by ramp type on the by-type guide and by length 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.

Frame A lines, as reported: the Angi frame

Frame A line, as printed2026 band
Permanent / modular$2,000-$5,500 / $1,500-$4,000
Portable / threshold$100-$1,500 / $50-$500
Custom$3,000-$7,500
Labor, per linear foot$50-$120
Handrails, per linear foot$20-$50

Frame A counts the installation by ramp type, with labor at $50-$100 per hour beside the per-foot line and permits at $50-$300 beside the type rows.

Frame B lines, as reported: the HomeAdvisor frame

Frame B line, as printed2026 band
Per linear foot$55-$275
Professionally built ramp$2,061 average
Built ramp range$1,012-$3,160
Project range$395-$6,000
Frame A modular row, apart$1,500-$4,000

Frame B counts one installation in full -- a built ramp project by its length in feet -- and the whole-home hub rows stand only as neighbouring rows on the by-type guide. 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 neighbours, differentiated

The aging-in-place hub prices a whole-home modifications table in its own lane, apart from its single modular ramp row named apart here. Its ramp row stands inside that hub's own whole-home counting. Neither prices a single ramp installation by type or by length.
