As a full service contractor that can handle all aspects of any type of remodeling job, we are also experts in ADA compliant remodeling. With the passing of the “Americans with Disabilities Act” or ADA by Congress in 1987, all new commercial construction of public buildings must be accessible for those in wheelchairs or that use walkers. Personal properties, such as homes are not required to meet ADA guidelines however for many disabled homeowners, remodeling has made life so much better. By increasing their independence and reducing frustrations, handicapped accessible homes are becoming more popular.

ADA Requirements

The guidelines set forth by the ADA focus on accessibility and mobility. Low or even thresholds, wider hallways and doorways and entry ramps are some of the typical remodeling features incorporated into an ADA compliant home. Some examples of accessible modifications are…

  • Extra wide doorways (36 inches) that swing outward allowing a wheelchair or walker to fit through
  • Even thresholds that wheelchairs can glide over and don’t increase tripping hazards
  • Open areas that can accommodate a 360-degree turn by a wheelchair (typically a 5 food diameter clearance)
  • Knobs changed to lever handle sets and switches placed low enough for use by someone from a seated position
  • Anti-slip flooring
  • Wall mounted grab bars in strategic areas like the shower and near the toilet
  • Lever type faucets that are easy to use
  • Door locks that can be opened from the outside in case of an emergency
