But be careful on the equipment you select. For example grab bars, not all are created equal. The No. 1 mistake people make is buying cheap grab bars, which do not support the weight of the person. A good grab bar should cost $60 – $80. If you are considering the options of replacing the steps with a ramp – using a wood overlay on top of concrete costs $1,000 – $2,000 versus a compete concrete redo which could cost as much as $8,000.
