I'm only asking for a quote to build a wheelchair ramp for my father. He's a 83yo Vietnam Navy Vet who has recently become homebound and is very difficult to get him in and out of the house in his chair. Not asking for a free ramp but just a quote to build one and I can gather the money to pay. :bow:
I would be grateful for recommendations and give you my contact info through PM.
Thank you.

We got a 10 foot aluminum ramp w/nonskid (for M.I.L) on Amazon for about $250. 600 pound capacity, foldable. I braced under the middle to reduce the "bouncie". Pics if you need them.

No sure if this fits your needs, but it is worth a look.

Thank you for the ideas and suggestions. I'm trying to work with the VA to see if I could get funding for this. Also here are some pictures of what I am working with.

If he gets care through the VA they'll provide a ramp for free

They also have care providers that will come to his house

The Boeing Machinists Union, IAM 751, has a group of volunteers who will build you a wheelchair ramp.
