ADA Compliance & Accessibility

California is the most litigated accessibility environment in the country. A construction-related accessibility claim can arrive over a parking stall slope, the pressure it takes to open a door, a transaction counter two inches too high, or a restroom that is an inch short on clearance. Defending one of those almost always costs more than fixing the condition would have.

We bring existing commercial buildings into compliance with the ADA and California Building Code Chapter 11B: accessible parking and the path of travel from it, entrances, door widths and hardware, restrooms, counters and service points, signage, ramps and handrails. We also handle the path-of-travel upgrade that gets triggered when you remodel an existing building — the requirement that catches owners by surprise more than any other.

We work directly from CASp reports and coordinate with CASp inspectors, and we phase the work so a business can stay open while it happens. If you have received a demand letter, the sequence matters: call us and we will walk the property and tell you honestly what is in scope.
