Wheelchair Ramp Installation in Columbia, SC for Convenient Back-Door Access

A Columbia, SC homeowner contacted Mobility Plus Northeast Columbia after seeing the quality of work we completed for a nearby neighbor. Impressed with the neighbor’s wheelchair ramp installation and overall experience, the customer reached out to our team when they needed a safer and more accessible way for their parents to enter and exit the home.

The family knew they needed a wheelchair ramp for home access, but they preferred not to install the ramp at the front entrance. Their goal was to create a practical accessibility solution that would provide their parents with easy access while keeping the front of the home unchanged.

Finding the Right Location for the Ramp

During our free in-home accessibility assessment, our technician evaluated the property and available entry points. After reviewing the layout, he determined that the back entrance was an excellent location for the wheelchair ramp installation and could accommodate the ramp without creating accessibility issues.

To provide a smoother transition from the home to the ramp, the project included removing the existing back steps and installing a platform at the doorway. The platform created a level transition from the back door onto the ramp, helping provide a more comfortable and accessible route.

Custom Ramp Layout Designed Around the Home

The customer also had a specific preference for where they wanted the ramp to end. They requested that the bottom of the ramp land on the existing paver deck before reaching the driveway.

Our team incorporated this request into the ramp layout, allowing the ramp to connect the back entrance to the existing paver deck while providing a convenient path toward the driveway.

Fast Scheduling & Professional Installation

Following the completion of the assessment, Mobility Plus Northeast Columbia prepared and sent the customer’s quote the following morning. The customer approved the project the following Monday, and we were able to schedule the wheelchair ramp installation just three days after approval.

Our installation team completed the project with the goal of providing a safe, functional, and convenient accessibility solution that worked with the existing layout of the home.

A Safer, More Accessible Back Entrance

The completed project provided the customer's parents with an easier way to access the home through the back entrance without placing a ramp at the front of the house. The new platform provides a smoother doorway transition, while the ramp leads directly to the existing paver deck as requested by the customer.
