Accessibility Improvements in Columbus, Ohio

Transit & Flow Group installs and coordinates accessibility modifications for Central Ohio homes, for any resident who needs easier, safer access and movement through the house, regardless of age. That includes an entry ramp for a family member with a mobility disability, a doorway widened enough for a walker or wheelchair, lever-style door handles that do not require gripping and twisting, and threshold reducers that smooth out a trip hazard at a doorway. Tell us about the specific access need, the areas of the house involved, and photos in the Estimate Builder for a preliminary online estimate.

Is this the right service for you?

Accessibility Improvements covers modifications aimed at mobility and physical access for anyone in the household: a resident of any age with a permanent disability, someone recovering from surgery or an injury with a temporary mobility limitation, or a family planning ahead for a member who uses a wheelchair or walker. Typical projects include entry ramps, widened doorways, lever door handles in place of round knobs, and threshold reducers between rooms or at exterior doors. Where a doorway widening involves a load-bearing wall or other structural change, we coordinate that portion with the appropriate licensed trade rather than treating it as standard handyman scope.

If your situation is specifically about planning ahead as a homeowner ages in place, rather than an active mobility need at any age, Aging-in-Place Improvements is our broader whole-house assessment page and may be a better starting point, since it also covers Grab-Bar Installation, Handrail Installation, and Handrail Repair as part of that program. The two pages share a lot of the same toolkit, ramps, grab bars, and handrails show up in both, and we are glad to combine work from each if your household needs both kinds of support.

How pricing works

Accessibility Improvements is priced per modification, since a ramp, a widened doorway, and a lever handle swap are very different scopes of work:

• Ramps are priced by length and material. Aluminum or wood ramp systems are sized to the rise at your entry, with modular ramps generally costing less than a custom-built wood ramp matched to your home’s exterior.
• Doorway widening is priced based on whether the wall involved is load-bearing. Non-structural widening is a more contained scope, and load-bearing walls require coordination with a licensed structural trade and are quoted with that coordination built in.
• Door hardware and threshold work, lever handles and threshold reducers, are priced per door or per threshold, since these are quick, well-defined swaps.
• Number of access points addressed in a single visit affects total cost the same way bundling affects our other handyman services; several small items done together typically cost less combined than the same items scheduled separately.

As general market context, not a Transit & Flow quote, Angi’s 2026 cost data puts average wheelchair ramp installation around $2,292, with a typical range of $1,122 to $3,594 and a per-linear-foot cost of roughly $100 to $250 depending on materials and site conditions. Starting at $649 for a multi-item package, itemized at booking.

Central Ohio context

Central Ohio’s mix of older and newer housing stock creates very different starting points for accessibility work. Homes in established neighborhoods like Clintonville, Bexley, and Worthington were frequently built with a step or two at the front entry and narrower interior doorways than modern layouts favor, which means a ramp or doorway widening project here often involves more site work than the same request in a newer, single-level Dublin or New Albany build, where entries sit closer to grade and doorways are wider to start.

We see requests across a wide range of situations, not just older residents. Families with a child or adult member who has a permanent mobility disability, someone recovering from a joint replacement or an accident, and households simply planning ahead all come to us for some version of this work. We treat each the same way: assess the specific access need in front of us, and scope accordingly, without assuming age or a particular diagnosis, and without making medical claims about outcomes.

Our process

1. Describe the access need online. Who it is for, which doors or entries are involved, and photos, in the Estimate Builder for a preliminary online estimate.
2. Book online or call (614) 382-0000.
3. On-site assessment. We measure the ramp rise, check doorway framing, and confirm whether any wall involved is load-bearing. Final scope and price subject to verification here.
4. Installation or coordination. Ramps, hardware, and non-structural widening are completed directly; structural work is coordinated with the appropriate licensed trade.
5. Walkthrough. We test the ramp, doors, and thresholds with you before we consider the visit complete.

Services completed by appropriately qualified professionals where required.
