Custom Ramp & Threshold Solutions
Detailed Description
A Small Step Can Be the Biggest Barrier in a Toronto & GTA Home for Someone Who Needs a Ramp
A 3-inch threshold step at a Toronto & GTA home entry door that most residents barely notice becomes an impassable barrier for a wheelchair user and a significant fall risk for someone using a walker or with limited step clearance. The difference between a home that’s accessible and one that isn’t is often measured in inches — a threshold transition, a single step between levels, a raised shower entry. For Toronto & GTA families accommodating a family member with mobility challenges, recovering from injury, or planning to age in place, ramp and threshold solutions remove barriers that affect daily independence.
At CNG Contracting, custom ramp and threshold installation in Toronto & GTA is built for the specific location and user — not a generic product placed in front of a problem. The rise, the run, the landing dimensions, the surface material, and the handrail where required are designed together to provide safe, code-appropriate access at your specific Toronto & GTA home entry or transition.
What We Build and Install for Toronto & GTA Homeowners
- Exterior Entry Ramps: Custom-built ramps at front and side entry doors of Toronto & GTA homes — wood or composite construction, with handrails where the rise and run require them under Ontario code
- Interior Threshold Ramps: Low-profile transition ramps between floor levels inside Toronto & GTA homes — for wheelchair and walker clearance at doorways and between room levels
- Shower Entry Threshold Reduction: Lowered or zero-threshold shower entries for wheelchair and walker accessibility in Toronto & GTA home bathrooms
- Portable Ramp Assessment: Where a permanent ramp isn’t appropriate, we advise on portable ramp selection and placement as an alternative for your Toronto & GTA home
What Code-Compliant Ramp Dimensions Require in Toronto & GTA
- Ontario code requires a maximum 1:12 slope ratio for accessible ramps — 1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of run
- Handrails are required on ramps with more than 6 inches of rise — both sides for ramps over 900mm wide
- Level landings at the top and bottom of ramps — minimum 1500mm x 1500mm for wheelchair approach
- Non-slip surface material on outdoor ramps — particularly important for Toronto & GTA’s wet and icy conditions
A properly built ramp or accessible threshold in your Toronto & GTA home removes a daily barrier for a family member who depends on it for independence. Book your assessment today.

Threshold and Ramp Solutions for Mobility in Toronto & GTA Homes
Door thresholds that are manageable on foot become obstacles with a walker, wheelchair, or mobility scooter. Raised thresholds at exterior and interior doorways in Toronto & GTA homes — common in older construction and at patio door entries — require either threshold modification or ramp installation to allow smooth passage with mobility equipment. We assess each threshold throughout your Toronto & GTA home for the appropriate solution: threshold reducer strips for minor height differences, custom wood or aluminium ramps for larger transitions, and threshold removal and repair where the raised threshold serves no functional purpose. Smooth, safe passage at every door for Toronto & GTA residents with mobility equipment.
Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Slope and "rise" are critical for safety. A ramp that is too steep is dangerous for a wheelchair user to navigate alone. According to standard accessibility guidelines, a 1:12 ratio (1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of length) is often required. Our Ramp or Threshold Adjustment assessment measures the height of your step to determine the exact length needed for a safe, code-compliant incline and identifies the best slip-resistant materials for Toronto’s icy winters.
