ADA Ramps & Accessibility Upgrades

ADA accessibility improvements ensure commercial properties meet federal accessibility requirements and provide proper access for people with disabilities. Work includes curb ramp construction, accessible parking and routes, door threshold modifications, ramp installations, and other improvements required to achieve accessibility compliance. Proper execution requires understanding both federal ADA Standards and state or local amendments that may apply.

Commercial properties face ongoing accessibility requirements as standards evolve and alterations trigger compliance obligations. Alterations to primary function areas typically require path-of-travel improvements up to specified cost thresholds. Parking lot reconstruction triggers accessible parking compliance. Building alterations may require accessible route upgrades. We help property owners understand compliance obligations and develop efficient improvement plans.

Curb ramp construction is among the most common accessibility improvements. Ramps must be properly oriented with appropriate running slopes, cross slopes, landing areas, and detectable warning surfaces. Ramp locations must be coordinated with crosswalks and accessible parking. Drainage must be addressed to prevent water accumulation on ramp surfaces. We construct curb ramps that meet all applicable standards.

Accessibility improvements at occupied properties require careful coordination with ongoing operations. Work must be sequenced to maintain access during construction. Temporary accessible routes may be required when permanent routes are blocked. Clear signage and communication helps users navigate construction areas safely. We develop construction approaches that address these coordination requirements.

As a general contractor, we can include accessibility improvements as part of larger renovation projects or provide standalone accessibility services. Either approach provides clear accountability for compliant accessibility construction.
