Custom Wood Wheelchair Ramps in Minnesota

Custom Wood Wheelchair Ramps

A custom wood ramp is built on-site to fit your exact home, entry, and landscape — with a finished, residential look that blends in rather than standing out. Ocel Builders designs and builds wood wheelchair ramps to a safe, ADA-compliant slope across Minnesota.

A ramp that looks like it belongs

When appearance matters and the ramp is permanent, custom wood is often the best choice. Because we build it on-site, we can shape it to your exact entry, wrap it around landscaping, and finish it to complement your home — so it reads as part of the house rather than a piece of medical equipment.

Built right for Minnesota

Safe slope — ADA-compliant 1:12 grade with level landings.
Weather-tough — pressure-treated lumber, proper footings, and drainage.
Slip-resistant — surfaces that stay secure in rain, snow, and ice.
Code-compliant — handrails, width, and landings done to standard, permitted where required.

Wood or aluminum?

Custom wood is ideal for permanent installs where looks matter. If you need something faster, reusable, or temporary, aluminum modular ramps install quickly and can be reconfigured or removed. For a single step or doorway, a portable or threshold ramp may be all you need. We’ll recommend the right fit.

Licensed builders, funding help

With a Minnesota Builders License and 30+ years of construction experience, Ocel Builders builds ramps that are safe and lasting. As a registered Medicaid provider (NPI/UMPI), we frequently build ramps funded through DHS waivers and VA grants. Request a free measurement.

Questions about custom wood wheelchair ramps

How steep can a wood wheelchair ramp be?

We build to the ADA standard of 1:12 — one inch of rise per foot of ramp — with level landings at turns and the top. That gentle slope is what makes a ramp genuinely usable and safe, not just present.

Will a wood ramp last through Minnesota winters?

Yes. We build with pressure-treated lumber and proper footings and drainage, with slip-resistant surfaces, so the ramp stands up to snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles.

Can a wood ramp be designed to match my house?

Absolutely — that's the advantage of custom wood. We shape the ramp to your entry and yard and can finish it to complement your home so it looks built-in, not bolted-on.
