Popular FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my business required to be ADA compliant?
The Americans with Disabilities Act applies to most businesses that serve the public, regardless of size. Title III of the ADA requires "places of public accommodation" (including retail stores, restaurants, service establishments, professional offices, etc.) to remove architectural barriers where such removal is "readily achievable." Additionally, new construction and renovations must meet current accessibility standards. During our assessment, we can help identify your specific obligations based on your property type, age, and use.
What are the most common ADA compliance issues in commercial properties?
The most common accessibility barriers we address include: inadequate or non-compliant entrance access (lack of ramps or excessive thresholds); restrooms lacking required clearances, grab bars, or fixture heights; inaccessible parking (insufficient spaces, inadequate access aisles, or improper signage); problematic door hardware and clearances; and non-compliant service counters and transaction areas. Our assessment identifies these and other potential compliance issues specific to your property.
Can ADA upgrades be completed in phases?
Yes, accessibility improvements can often be implemented in phases, particularly for existing buildings where "barrier removal" is the standard. We help develop prioritized plans that address the most significant accessibility issues first (typically those affecting entrance accessibility and access to goods and services), followed by secondary improvements. This phased approach helps distribute costs over time while demonstrating ongoing commitment to accessibility improvements.
How do ADA requirements differ between Oregon and Washington?
While both Oregon and Washington enforce federal ADA standards as a baseline, each state has adopted additional accessibility provisions through their respective building codes. Washington State often has more stringent requirements in certain areas, while Oregon has specific provisions for historic properties. Local jurisdictions may also have supplemental requirements. Our familiarity with both states' accessibility codes ensures your improvements meet all applicable standards regardless of location.
