A Guide to Compliance and Accessibility
Who Needs to Follow ADA Guidelines?
ADA regulations apply to most commercial properties and public-facing businesses—including offices, stores, clinics, schools, and any space offering public services. Residential properties are typically exempt, but there are exceptions. If your home doubles as a daycare, healthcare practice, or any business with foot traffic, ADA compliance may be legally required.
Not sure where your property falls? Our team can help clarify your obligations and recommend the best path forward—whether full compliance is mandatory or you're simply looking to improve accessibility.
Key ADA Ramp Requirements
We build ramps with precision and attention to every detail. Here's what goes into an ADA-compliant ramp:
- Slope & Rise: Maximum slope of 1:12 (1 inch of rise per 12 inches of length) with a total rise not exceeding 30 inches.
- Width & Landings: Minimum clear width of 36 inches, with landings at least 60 inches long at both ends. Turns or switchbacks require 60" x 60" landings.
- Handrails: Required on both sides for rises over 6 inches or lengths over 72 inches. Handrails must be between 34–38 inches high, extend 12 inches at the top and bottom, and have smooth, continuous gripping surfaces.
- Surface & Cross Slope: Slip-resistant surfaces with a cross slope no greater than 1:50, plus proper drainage to prevent water pooling.
- Edge Protection: Curbs, rails, or barriers at least 2 inches high to prevent wheelchairs from slipping off the ramp.
Avoid the Risk of Non-Compliance
Failing to meet ADA standards can result in serious consequences, including:
- Fines: Up to $55,000 for a first violation and $110,000 for subsequent violations.
- Legal Liability: Federal courts may order compensatory damages or other legal remedies.
Avoiding these costly outcomes starts with hiring a team that knows ADA compliance inside and out—and that’s where we come in.
