We can help you if it’s a local job. Are you in the area? That project design was by GTM Architects, however, we can have any local architect modify designs to fit wheelchair accessible features.

Best suggestion would be to take a shot of this project and have an architect design it to suit handicap features. Shouldn’t be difficult to achieve.

I love this porch and am definitely saving this photo as a inspiration! This is the first time building so I’m learning as much as I can before we start interviewing builders. We are In the Midwest so will start hopefully in the spring. Thank you for your quick response!
