The Americans with Disabilities Act sets standards for accessibility—doorway widths, ramp slopes, grab bar placement, toilet heights, all of it.
If you're modifying a home for someone with mobility issues, following ADA standards means the modifications actually work. If you're a business or facility, following ADA standards keeps you compliant and avoids lawsuits.
We don't just guess at this stuff. We follow the specs Brian used in assisted living facilities for 30 years.
