ADA ramps in Phoenix have to do one job well: get someone in a wheelchair, on a walker or pushing a stroller from the parking lot to the door without a struggle. A ramp that's cracked, has a lip at the bottom or runs too steep fails that job, and it can draw complaints. Maybe an inspector or a tenant has already pointed one out. We pour new curb and entry ramps and replace broken ones, and we can walk your site the same week you call.
When You Need ADA Ramps
You need ramp work when a ramp has cracked or broken, when there's a lip or gap where it meets the street, sidewalk or door, when it's steeper than it should be, or when water collects at the bottom. You also need one when an entrance or a curb has no ramp at all.
The 2010 ADA Standards set the running slope of a ramp at no steeper than 1 in 12, which means at least 12 inches of length for every inch it rises. A ramp that's broken or too steep is hard to use and can be a liability, so it's worth fixing before someone gets hurt.
Our ADA Ramps Process
At the site walk we measure the rise and the space available, check how the ramp ties into the curb, walk and door, and look at drainage. You get a written bid within 24 hours.
On the job, we sawcut and remove the old ramp if there is one, haul it off, grade and compact the base, and set the forms to the slopes the job calls for. We place mesh or rebar, pour, give it a broom finish for grip and cut joints. Most ramps take 1 to 3 days, and with a standard mix foot traffic can use it in 24 to 48 hours. We can phase the work so your entrance stays open.
Before we form anything, we check the landing at the top and the transition at the bottom, because a ramp that meets a raised lip or a sloped landing is still hard to use, even if the ramp itself is the right slope. We also look at where water will go, so the bottom of the ramp doesn't turn into a puddle.
If a tenant, inspector or consultant has already given you a list of items to fix, send it with your request. We'll price every item on the list in the bid so nothing falls through the cracks.
ADA Ramps Cost in Phoenix
Ramp cost depends on the size and rise, whether an old ramp or curb has to come out, how the ramp ties into the sidewalk and street, and any extras the plans call for. Ramps in a public right-of-way can involve city rules, which we'll go over at the walk.
You get a written bid listing every step, and the price is fixed to that scope.
