FAQs
Does my older building still have to meet current ADA standards?
Yes. Under the ADA, businesses must remove architectural barriers in existing facilities when it is "readily achievable." Additionally, when you perform a remodel, a percentage of your budget must typically be spent on "path of travel" accessibility upgrades to bring the building up to current code.
What are the most common ADA violations you find in Southern California?
The most frequent issues we correct are non-compliant parking stall slopes, restroom grab bar heights, lack of "turning space" for wheelchairs, and doorways that are too narrow or have high thresholds. We specialize in identifying and fixing these "high-risk" areas quickly.
Can I get a tax credit for making my business ADA compliant?
Yes. Small businesses may be eligible for the Disabled Access Credit (Internal Revenue Code Section 44), which can cover 50% of eligible access expenditures. There is also a tax deduction available for all businesses to encourage the removal of architectural barriers.
