Home Accessibility in St. Paul, MN

St. Paul's historic homes and hilly neighborhoods bring real accessibility challenges — and real solutions. Ocel Builders installs stair lifts, elevators, ramps, and accessible bathrooms across the capital city as a licensed Minnesota contractor and DHS waiver provider.

Accessibility for the capital city’s classic homes

St. Paul is a city of character — historic houses, steep lots, and staircases that don’t always follow the rules. Making these homes accessible takes a contractor who’s comfortable with custom work, and that’s exactly what Ocel Builders has done across Minnesota for more than 30 years.

What we install in St. Paul

Stair lifts — including curved rails for historic, turning staircases.
Home elevators and platform lifts.
Wheelchair ramps — designed to fit tight urban entries.
Accessible bathrooms — roll-in showers, walk-in tubs, and grab bars.

Code-compliant, permits managed

We install to Minnesota code and handle the permits and inspections St. Paul requires, as a licensed elevator and building contractor. Your modification is done safely, legally, and to last.

Funding for Ramsey County families

Questions about home accessibility in st. paul, mn

Do you serve all of St. Paul?

Yes — St. Paul neighborhoods across the city, for stair lifts, elevators, ramps, and accessible bathroom remodels, with permits and inspections handled.

Can you work with St. Paul's older and historic homes?

Yes. Older St. Paul homes with steep or turning staircases and tight entries are familiar territory for us. Custom curved stair lifts and carefully designed ramps make even challenging homes accessible.

Is waiver funding available in St. Paul?

Yes. As a registered Minnesota Medicaid provider, we bill DHS waivers and coordinate with Ramsey County case managers, so many St. Paul families pay little or nothing out of pocket.
