That $400 power wheelchair ramp almost ruined my porch
I paid a local company $400 to install a threshold ramp at my place in Tucson, and they ended up stripping two of the mounting bolts. It tilted every time I rolled over it, which felt sketchy as hell on my chair. I had to call around for a week before finding a handy neighbor to redo it with proper anchors for $60 in parts. Has anyone else gotten burned by contractors who don't actually understand accessibility work?

Wait, they stripped the bolts and still charged you the full $400? That's wild, because a threshold ramp is one of the simplest installs out there, and if the thing tilts under a chair that's a safety issue, not just sloppy work. Sounds like that company saw "accessibility" and figured they could charge a premium without knowing the basics.
