TMI Home Access

A safer route into and through the home

Residential ramps, railings and entry access improvements

A useful access route must fit the person, mobility equipment, property and daily routine. We plan ramps, landings, handrails and entry changes as one connected path—not isolated pieces.

Project scope

What we can help improve

The right scope depends on the home and the person using it. We start with the highest-impact barriers and coordinate the pieces into one practical plan.

Entry assessment

We review elevation changes, available space, door approach, drainage and the route from parking to the home.

Ramp planning

Slope, run, landings and turning areas are planned around the user, site and applicable requirements.

Rails and support

Secure handrails and guardrails can improve confidence at stairs, porches, walks and interior transitions.

Threshold access

Small level changes and difficult door thresholds can be evaluated as part of the complete route.

Door usability

Lever hardware, easier operation and doorway adjustments may help complete an accessible entrance.

Durable details

Materials, footings, drainage and weather exposure are considered for dependable everyday use.

Plan around the person

Details we consider before work begins

Measurements alone are not enough. We want to understand how the space is approached, used and supported throughout a normal day.

  • Mobility device dimensions and whether assistance is typically needed
  • Rise, available run, landing locations and door swing
  • Snow, water management and seasonal maintenance
  • Local permits, zoning limits and applicable building requirements

Input from an occupational therapist, physical therapist, discharge planner or caregiver is welcome with the homeowner’s permission. TMI Home Access provides construction planning and does not replace clinical evaluation.
