Is Your Lot Actually ADA Compliant?
Non-compliant accessible parking carries real fine exposure — we lay out spaces to current ADA standards.
Most property managers assume their accessible parking is compliant simply because a space has a wheelchair symbol painted on it, but the ADA Standards for Accessible Design specify exact dimensions, access aisle requirements, van-accessible ratios, and signage rules — and a surprising number of commercial lots fall short of at least one of them. Non-compliance isn’t a minor paperwork issue: fines start at $75,000 for a first offense and climb from there.
We lay out accessible stalls and van-accessible spaces to current ADA dimensions, mark access aisles correctly so they run the full length of the stall and connect to an accessible route, and install the required signage — including "Van Accessible" designation where needed. We can also review an existing lot’s accessible spaces and tell you plainly whether they’d pass a compliance review, before you find out the hard way.
A wheelchair symbol alone doesn’t make a space compliant. The 2010 ADA Standards specify minimum widths (96 inches for a standard accessible space, 132 inches for van-accessible), access-aisle dimensions and placement, a maximum 2% slope, and signage mounted at a specific height — and at least one of every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible, with a minimum of one van-accessible space in every lot regardless of size. Getting any of these wrong doesn’t just risk a fine; it risks a genuinely unsafe or unusable space for the people it’s meant to serve.
We review your existing accessible spaces against current ADA dimensions, access-aisle placement, slope, and signage requirements, and tell you plainly what does and doesn’t pass.
Spaces measured and striped to current ADA dimensions, with the correct van-accessible ratio for your total accessible space count.
Aisles striped to run the full stall length, align correctly, and connect to an accessible route without steps or curbs.

| Pricing factor | How it affects your estimate |
|---|---|
| Lot size & scope | Larger lots and multi-visit contracts change per-unit pricing. |
| New layout vs. restripe | New layouts require full measurement and planning work. |
| Specialty markings | ADA stalls, fire lanes, and stencils are priced per unit/linear foot. |
ADA striping is typically priced per accessible space, with van-accessible spaces costing somewhat more due to their wider dimensions and additional signage. Pricing depends on how many accessible spaces your lot needs (based on total stall count) and whether it’s new layout work or bringing existing spaces into compliance. We’ll assess your lot and give you a written estimate before any work starts.
Our field lead has spent years studying current ADA accessible-design standards specifically so we can tell property managers exactly why a lot is or isn’t compliant — not just repaint a wheelchair symbol and call it done. That specificity matters: if a property manager asks us to explain the layout to their attorney or insurance company, we can.
No pressure, no obligation — just a straightforward look at your property.
We assess your current accessible spaces against ADA dimensions, aisle placement, slope, and signage.
We calculate the required accessible and van-accessible space count based on your lot’s total stalls.
We lay out and stripe the accessible spaces and access aisles to current standards.
We install required signage at the correct height and placement.
We document the finished layout with photos for your compliance records.
If you’re not sure how many van-accessible spaces your lot needs, if your accessible spaces look narrower than others in the area, if signage is missing or mounted inconsistently, or if it’s been years since anyone reviewed your accessible parking against current standards, it’s worth a compliance assessment. This is especially urgent ahead of a franchise brand audit, an insurance inspection, or a new lease — non-compliance discovered by a tenant or visitor’s attorney is a far more expensive way to find out.
It’s based on your total parking space count, on a sliding scale set by the ADA — we’ll calculate the exact number, including how many need to be van-accessible, during your assessment.
We’ll tell you plainly what needs to change and give you a written estimate to bring them into compliance — usually a restriping and signage job, not a full lot repave.
Yes — non-compliance fines start at $75,000 for a first offense, and repeat violations run higher. Getting it right the first time is far cheaper than a compliance complaint.
