What is not part of wheelchair ramp & accessibility modifications
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more. A long built ramp, a widened door or a bathroom conversion goes to a licensed contractor, and NorTech flags it before you book.
- Stair lifts, porch lifts and elevators. Those are installed by licensed specialists with their own services.
- Structural work such as widening an opening in a bearing wall or rebuilding a porch. That is licensed structural work.
- New wiring for lights or outlets at the ramp. Wiring beyond a like-for-like swap is a licensed electrician.
- Medical or occupational therapy assessments. A therapist or accessibility specialist sets what a person needs, and the pro builds to that.
License and permits for wheelchair ramp & accessibility modifications
Fixed ramps with long runs, guards and landings are construction work, and bigger accessibility changes such as widening doors, bathroom conversions or lifts are licensed-trade work done by pros who hold the license. Small threshold ramps and grab bars are handled by background-checked local pros.
A permanent ramp attached to a porch or deck, and any change to a wall or door opening, may need a permit and an inspection, depending on local rules. Ask your pro what applies to your project and who obtains the permit.
Check the license on the pro profile for larger builds, and ask to see the permit and the final inspection record when the job is done. Keep both with your home records.

Before you book wheelchair ramp & accessibility modifications
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Measure the rise exactly
Measure straight up from the ground to the top of the threshold, and note each step. The total decides the length needed, so even a few inches matter.
Get the user's needs first
Ask a therapist or the person who will use it about chair width, turning room and transfer needs. Share those with your pro so the ramp is wide enough.
Photograph the entry
Take photos of the steps, porch, door and the ground leading up. Include a tape against the steps for scale.
Check for permits and approvals
Ask your city office, landlord or association what is needed. Some require a permit or an approved plan before building.
Plan for a clear path
Keep the path to the ramp free of steps, mats and clutter. A turn or a door at the top needs a flat landing, so think about where the door opens.
Ask about funding
Some health, veteran or housing programs help pay for home accessibility changes and may have requirements for contractors or paperwork. Ask before you book.
