The Company Homeowners in Houghton, MI, Can Turn to for Residential Vertical Platform Lifts
There’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to get to where you need to go. Unfortunately, when you use a mobility device such as a wheelchair or electric scooter, obstacles can spring up regularly. Curbs are required to have ramps at every intersection, and commercial buildings must be ADA compliant, but private residences are exempt from these standards. It’s up to the homeowners to make their structures accessible.
And that’s where the Barrier Free Store comes in. We specialize in modifications that allow our customers to continue living safely and comfortably in their homes no matter what their mobility level may be. For homes with elevated front entrances in Houghton, Michigan, we can install either a ramp or a residential vertical platform lift. Also known as a wheelchair or porch lift, the latter provides a reliable means of accessing a raised porch or even a second-story deck safely and conveniently. And because it requires much less space than a ramp, it is ideal for yards that have a limited amount of square footage to work with.
Lift Options for Every Home
The first step in having a vertical platform lift installed at your home is to reach out to the Barrier Free Store and schedule a complimentary home assessment. One of our representatives will inspect your property and offer suggestions about where to position and how to configure a wheelchair lift so it will best suit your needs. Our lifts:

We can also install indoor lifts, space permitting. What’s more, in most cases our technicians can install your wheelchair lift in just one day and with minimal disruption to your home or property.
