About Ramps for Gramps
Local craftsmen keeping Kansas City-area seniors safe at home since day one.
Meet Jim Harwell
Jim Harwell has been swinging a hammer since he was old enough to hold one. With over 20 years of professional carpentry experience, he\'s built everything from custom homes to commercial buildings.
But it was a personal experience that changed the direction of his career. When Jim\'s own grandmother fell in her bathtub and broke her hip, it opened his eyes to a simple truth: the homes we love can become the biggest threat to the people we love most.
That\'s when Ramps for Gramps was born. Jim took his decades of construction expertise and focused it entirely on one mission: making homes safer for aging adults. Every grab bar, every ramp, every shower conversion is personal to him.
"I started Ramps for Gramps because I never wanted another family to go through what mine did. One well-placed grab bar could have prevented a hospital stay and months of rehab. That math doesn\'t make sense to me." — Jim Harwell
