COST & PLANNING

What does threshold ramp fitting cost?

The useful comparison is the full doorway job: the ramp, fitting, any alterations and the route around it. A low product price does not tell you whether it will work at the entrance.

The starting point

Stayscape's fitting of one suitable customer-supplied threshold ramp starts from $149 CAD. Ramp supply, custom construction and doorway changes are extra. Travel outside Calgary and GST may add to the quote. This is not the price of a long wheelchair-access ramp.

Separate the product from installation.

A ramp may be sold by height, width, material and intended use. Its price is separate from checking the location and fitting it as required. Our starting scope assumes a suitable product at a suitable doorway. Send the manufacturer and model if you already have one.

Check what may need to change at the door.

A ramp can interfere with the swing of a door or leave too little room to approach the opening. A high threshold may have a different rise on each side. The quote should identify whether fitting alone is possible or whether the doorway or surrounding structure needs work.

  • Rise on both sides of the threshold
  • Usable approach and landing space
  • Door clearance with the product in place
  • Fixing or positioning requirements

A longer access ramp has a different budget.

Getting over several steps is a different project from crossing a sill. It can involve a longer route, landings, supports and edge protection. Product dimensions and the person's access needs must be considered together. We discuss that larger scope separately instead of using the small-ramp starting figure.

Get a quote before ordering several sizes.

Text the door open and closed, the height change beside a tape measure, your community and the available floor area. If a clinician has recommended a specific product or access arrangement, include that recommendation. We confirm the fitting scope and explain any checks needed before a price is final.

Questions about this next step

Can you supply the ramp as well?

Ask for equipment supply as a separate line in the quote. The advertised fitting price assumes you supply a suitable product.

Is a temporary ramp always cheaper to fit?

Not necessarily. Suitability, placement and any work around the door still need checking.

Does the starting price include changes to a door or landing?

No. Repairs, construction and doorway alterations are outside the threshold-fitting scope and are quoted separately.
