VA Grant Approved
Rickman Building Company is a registered, qualified contractor with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to deliver accessibility adaptations under the SAH, SHA, and HISA veteran housing programs.
VA Registered Builder Status
Veterans who qualify for federal adaptation grants must work with contractors registered in the VA contractor database. This registration ensures the builder understands VA standards, presents formatted itemized estimates, carries active licensing/insurance, and meets construction specifications.
Navigating Veteran Grants
We help local veterans design modifications, compile bids, submit paperwork, and construct adaptations under these core VA grant programs:
- ✓HISA (Home Improvements & Structural Alterations) Up to $6,800 for medical/neurological accessibility adaptations, including entry ramps, doorways, and walk-in bathroom conversions.
- ✓SAH (Specially Adapted Housing) Substantial grants to build a fully wheelchair-accessible custom home or modify a recently purchased home.
- ✓SHA (Special Housing Adaptation) Grants to adapt a home to support veterans with visual impairments, respiratory limits, or severe hand injuries.
Our Design and Bid Support
The VA grant process is notoriously complex, requiring strict formats, photographic verification of before/after states, and compliance site walks. Rickman Building Company manages the contractor side of this process from start to finish. We work with the veteran's VA case manager to ensure all specs are met on the first submission, preventing processing delays.
