ADA-Compliant Design Features
Accessible Entrances and Pathways
We design entrances with ramps or zero-step access to eliminate barriers at your front door. Doorways are widened to at least 32 inches, allowing easy wheelchair or walker entry.
Clear pathways inside and outside your home are at least 36 inches wide. This space gives you enough room to move comfortably and safely.
We use non-slip surfaces on ramps and walkways to reduce the risk of falls, especially in wet conditions. Handles and door hardware are easy to grab and operate without tight gripping or twisting.
Barrier-Free Bathrooms
Our bathrooms remove thresholds and include roll-in showers with grab bars for safety and support. We install adjustable shower heads and hand-held sprayers for convenience.
Sinks and vanities have knee clearance underneath for wheelchair access. We use lever-style faucets that don’t require tight gripping.
We position toilets higher than standard height to make sitting and standing easier. Reinforced walls allow for secure grab bar installation where you need extra stability.
Adaptable Kitchens
We create kitchens with open floor plans to improve circulation and avoid tight corners. Counters are lowered and include knee space below for wheelchair use.
Cabinetry is designed with pull-out shelves and drawers you can reach easily without bending or stretching. Appliances have front controls and side-opening doors for better access.
Large islands allow space to maneuver and work comfortably from a seated position. We also focus on placing light switches and outlets within easy reach to help you control your environment.
Materials and Products For ADA-Compliance
Non-Slip Flooring Options
We use flooring materials designed to reduce slipping, which is key for safety in ADA-compliant homes. Options often include textured vinyl, rubber, and certain types of tile with matte finishes. These materials provide good traction even when wet. Another important factor is smooth transitions between flooring types to avoid tripping hazards. We ensure that surfaces are level and gaps are minimal. Our team selects flooring that is durable and easy to clean, keeping maintenance simple for you. We can also install cushioning layers under the flooring to reduce fatigue when standing or walking.
Lever Handles and Accessible Fixtures
Lever handles are easier to operate than traditional round knobs, especially for those with limited hand strength or dexterity. We install lever handles on doors, cabinets, and faucets to improve usability throughout your home. For bathroom and kitchen fixtures, we use ADA-certified faucets and controls. These often have single-lever or touchless designs, which require minimal effort to use. Fixtures like toilets and sinks are chosen to meet height and clearance standards for wheelchair access. We also pay close attention to the location and reach of switches, handles, and outlets, making sure they are within comfortable range for all users. Our products combine function with modern looks to fit your home's style.
Quality Assurance and Final Inspections
Meeting Inspection and Certification Requirements
We schedule all necessary inspections with local authorities to confirm your home follows ADA rules and building codes. This includes structural checks, accessibility features like ramps and door widths, and safety elements such as handrails and lighting.
Our team works closely with certified inspectors to address any issues quickly. We keep detailed records of each inspection to ensure transparency.
You only get final approval once every requirement is met. This guarantees your home is safe, accessible, and built to last.
Client Walkthrough and Approval
Before finalizing the project, we invite you to walk through your home with us. During this walkthrough, we review all ADA features and construction details together.
You can point out any concerns or questions, which we address on the spot or schedule for quick resolution. We want you to feel confident in the home’s quality and accessibility.
Once you approve, we complete all final touches and hand over your home with full documentation of inspections and certifications.
