Accessible Concrete That Meets Code Requirements
ADA concrete work isn't just about compliance — it's about creating access routes that function correctly: correct slope, adequate width, proper surface texture, and transitions that don't create hazards. Getting the slope right matters as much as the installation. We scope ADA work to what the site requires and what local code enforces.

What ADA Concrete Work Includes
ADA concrete projects cover accessible routes, ramp installations, detectable warning surfaces, and entry modifications that bring commercial properties into compliance with ADA and local code requirements.

Bringing a commercial property into compliance
Properties undergoing renovation, sale, or lease renewals often need ADA compliance upgrades as part of the process.
Existing ramps with incorrect slope
Ramps that don't meet current ADA slope requirements (1:12 maximum) need replacement or correction.
Missing detectable warning surfaces
Curb ramps at street crossings require truncated dome detectable warning surfaces under current ADA standards.
New commercial construction
Accessible routes are required as part of new commercial site development — planned from the start, not added as an afterthought.
What Matters on Every ADA Concrete Project
Slope tolerances
ADA ramps must not exceed 1:12 gradient (8.33%). Cross-slope must not exceed 1:50 (2%). These tolerances are tighter than typical concrete work and need to be measured and confirmed after the pour.
Surface texture
ADA ramps need a slip-resistant finish. Broom finish meets this requirement. Exposed aggregate is also acceptable. Smooth finishes are not appropriate for accessible ramps.
Width requirements
ADA accessible routes require a minimum 36 inches of clear width. Routes with handrails need to accommodate the handrail within the width.
Transition between surfaces
Level changes at the transition from ramp to sidewalk or roadway must be less than 1/4 inch vertical. Lips or raised edges at transitions create barriers and fail compliance.
Local Conditions That Affect This Work
Kansas City's clay soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and drainage patterns affect how this type of work should be specified and installed.
Freeze-thaw and accessible surface durability
ADA concrete in KC needs to handle freeze-thaw cycling without surface deterioration that creates uneven texture — especially important for ramp surfaces and truncated dome areas.
How We Approach Every Project
Site visit first. Written scope second. Nothing starts without your approval.
Start the ProcessRequest Estimate
Call, fill out the form on this page, or email us. Tell us about your project — residential or commercial, rough scope, timeline. We'll schedule a site visit.
Site Review
We visit the site in person. We check existing conditions, base conditions, drainage, grades, and anything relevant to the scope. This is where most problems get caught before they become surprises.
Written Scope
You receive a written quote covering the exact work: materials, specifications, prep requirements, finish type, timeline, and price. Nothing starts without your sign-off.
Prep, Pour & Finish
We execute to the agreed spec. Proper base prep, forming, reinforcement, pour, and finish. No shortcuts on what's underneath — that's where concrete work lasts or fails.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the completed work with you before we leave. Any questions get answered on the spot. You'll know what to expect during the cure period.
ADA Concrete Questions
Common questions about this service, timeline, specifications, and how we work.
View All FAQsWhat slope is required for ADA concrete ramps?
ADA ramps must not exceed a 1:12 gradient — that's 8.33% slope, or 1 inch of rise per 12 inches of run. Cross-slope must not exceed 2%. These tolerances are measured after the pour.
Are truncated dome detectable warning surfaces required on all curb ramps?
Yes. Curb ramps at street crossings require truncated dome detectable warning surfaces under current ADA standards. These can be integral to the concrete pour or installed as surface-applied inserts.
Do you handle ADA compliance documentation?
We install concrete to meet ADA specifications. For formal compliance documentation or ADA surveys, we recommend working with a licensed accessibility consultant. We provide accurate information about what we installed and to what specification.
Can an existing ramp be modified to meet current ADA slope requirements?
Sometimes. If the slope can be corrected by modifying the approach grade, modification may be possible. If the slope is significantly wrong, full replacement is typically required. We assess options during the site visit.
