THE ADA STANDARDS WE FOLLOW
When we repair or replace sidewalks, we follow all applicable ADA guidelines to ensure every walkway is accessible and functional for all users. Here's a breakdown of the key standards we build to:
Sidewalk Width Requirements
ADA-compliant walkways must provide adequate clearance for wheelchair users and pedestrians to pass. We build sidewalks with a minimum clear width of 36 inches, with turning spaces widened to 42 inches where required , ensuring comfortable, unobstructed passage for all users.
Running & Cross Slope
Proper slope is critical for wheelchair accessibility. We ensure the running slope of all walkways stays within ADA limits , no steeper than 5% on accessible urls , and that cross slopes remain at or below 2%. Every pour is graded precisely to meet these requirements.
Curb Ramps
ADA-compliant sidewalks must include properly constructed curb ramps at all pedestrian crossings and building entrances. We install curb ramps with a 1:12 slope ratio , the ADA standard , providing a smooth, manageable transition between sidewalk and roadway for wheelchair users, scooter users, and anyone using a mobility aid.
Slip-Resistant Surfaces
ADA guidelines require that sidewalk surfaces provide adequate traction , particularly for pedestrians using canes, crutches, or other walking aids. We use non-slip concrete finishes and broom textures that meet both ADA and NYC DOT slip-resistance requirements. Polished or overly smooth surfaces are never used.
Passing Spaces
Where sidewalk width falls below 60 inches, ADA standards require passing spaces , areas wide enough for two wheelchair users to pass each other , at intervals no greater than 200 feet. We incorporate 60 x 60 inch passing spaces wherever required to achieve full ADA conformance.
Surface Material Requirements
ADA-compliant walkways must be constructed from firm, stable, and slip-resistant materials. Concrete and asphalt are the approved surfaces , loose materials such as gravel are never ADA-compliant. During every repair or replacement we perform, we strictly adhere to this requirement.
OUR ADA SIDEWALK SERVICES
We offer a full range of ADA sidewalk installation and compliance services for residential and commercial properties across NYC:
Free ADA Compliance Inspection
We assess your existing sidewalk against current ADA standards, identify every area of non-compliance, and provide a clear written plan , at no charge and with no obligation.
Curb Ramp Installation
Fully ADA-compliant curb ramps installed at building entrances and crossings , correct slope, correct width, correct detectable warning strips. Built to both federal ADA and NYC DOT specification.
Tactile Warning Strip Installation
Detectable warning surfaces installed at curb ramp transitions and hazard zones , a critical safety requirement for pedestrians who are blind or have low vision, and a mandatory ADA compliance element.
Sidewalk Widening
Where existing sidewalks are too narrow to meet ADA minimums, we perform the necessary excavation and concrete work to bring walkways up to full compliance , providing adequate clearance for all users.
Trip Hazard & Surface Repair
Uneven surfaces, raised edges, and surface cracks are ADA violations as well as DOT violations. We repair or replace non-compliant sections as part of our sidewalk repair service , restoring both safety and compliance.
Commercial ADA Compliance
Commercial properties face stricter ADA enforcement and greater liability exposure. Our commercial sidewalk service covers full ADA compliance , from initial assessment through final sign-off.
OUR ADA COMPLIANCE PROCESS
Every ADA sidewalk project follows a structured process to ensure full compliance, correct installation, and results that hold up to inspection.
Free On-Site ADA Assessment
We visit your property at no charge, measure all walkway dimensions, assess slopes, evaluate surface conditions, and identify every area that falls short of ADA requirements. You receive a detailed written compliance report and repair plan before any work is quoted.
Written Estimate & Compliance Plan
We provide a clear, itemized written estimate covering all required work, materials, permits, and final inspection. Fixed, transparent pricing , no surprises. You approve before we begin.
DOT Permit Application
We handle the entire NYC DOT street opening permit process on your behalf , filing, approval, and close-out. Zero administrative burden on you or your team.
Demolition & Subbase Preparation
Non-compliant sections are saw-cut and removed. The subbase is properly compacted and graded to achieve the correct ADA slope before any concrete is poured , this is the step that determines whether the slope holds long-term.
ADA-Compliant Concrete Pour & Feature Installation
We pour premium 4000 PSI ready-mix concrete finished with a non-slip broom texture. Curb ramps, tactile warning strips, passing spaces, and width corrections are all integrated at this stage , built to exact ADA and DOT specification.
Curing, Cleanup & Final Inspection
New concrete is properly cured and the area protected. All debris and materials are cleared from the site. We conduct a thorough final inspection against ADA standards and NYC DOT requirements , and if a DOT violation is involved, we schedule and manage the official re-inspection on your behalf.
