We design and build beautiful, durable access ramps for homes and businesses — giving everyone safe, independent access. Built to Canadian building codes with the same craftsmanship we bring to every deck.

At BuildMyDeck.ca, we apply the same premium craftsmanship to ramp construction as we do to our custom decks. Every ramp is engineered for the correct slope ratio, fitted with proper handrails on both sides, and built with non-slip surfaces to keep users safe in all Canadian weather conditions.
Every home and situation is different. We offer a range of ramp configurations and materials to find the safest, most practical, and best-looking solution for your property.
The most affordable and widely used ramp material. Pressure-treated lumber is rot-resistant, structurally sound, and can be built in almost any configuration. Finished with non-slip strips or textured paint for year-round safety. Ideal for homeowners looking for a cost-effective permanent solution.
For homeowners who want a beautiful, low-maintenance ramp that matches a composite deck or complements the home's exterior. Composite ramp surfaces won't splinter, are naturally slip-resistant, and require no annual sealing or staining. Available in a wide range of colours and finishes.
In Canada's climate, a covered ramp can be essential — preventing ice and snow accumulation on the ramp surface and keeping users dry. We integrate roofing structures directly over the ramp, matched to your home's architecture. A premium upgrade for year-round usability and safety.
When a straight run isn't possible due to space constraints or significant elevation changes, we design switchback (Z-shaped) or L-shaped ramp systems with intermediate landings. These allow the correct 1:12 slope to be achieved in a compact footprint — perfect for homes with raised entries.
Need a ramp for a recovery period or a short-term situation? We can build or source modular ramp systems that can be assembled, disassembled, and relocated as needed. All modular ramps still meet safety standards and are inspected before use.
For a ramp that looks like a natural extension of your home, cedar or hardwood ramps offer warmth, beauty, and excellent durability. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and takes stain beautifully — ideal for homes with wood decks or cottage-style properties where aesthetics matter.
Safety is non-negotiable. Every ramp we build meets or exceeds Canadian building code requirements for accessibility.
Every ramp is designed to the National Building Code standard — a maximum 1-inch rise for every 12 inches of run. This ensures safe, manageable inclines for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility.
Graspable handrails on both sides of the ramp, set at the correct height (34–38 inches), extending 12 inches beyond the top and bottom of the ramp. Essential for user safety and required by code.
All ramp decking is fitted with non-slip strips, textured composite, or rubberized coating to prevent slipping in wet, icy, or snowy conditions — keeping users safe year-round in the Canadian climate.
Top, bottom, and intermediate landings are built a minimum of 5×5 feet to allow wheelchair users to safely rest, turn, and open doors. Landings are level (no slope) for maximum stability.
Many municipalities require permits for permanent ramp structures. We handle the permit application process, ensure compliance with local accessibility bylaws, and coordinate any required inspections.
All ramp builds come with our standard 5-year craftsmanship warranty. We stand behind the structural integrity of every ramp we build — if anything moves, warps, or fails, we fix it.
