ADA Handicap Compliance
ADA-compliant parking and accessible route infrastructure protects your commercial property from legal exposure, ensures equal access for all customers and tenants, and demonstrates the kind of property management standard that institutional clients and retail tenants expect. SouthEast Pavement Inc. provides ADA compliance services for commercial properties throughout Newnan, GA — from accessible space marking and ramp installation to full accessible route assessments — delivered with the same transparent proposals and on-site project management that defines every project we do.
Why ADA Compliance Matters for Commercial Property Owners
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) carries real legal teeth. Non-compliant commercial properties are subject to complaints, civil lawsuits, and federal enforcement actions — all of which are costly, disruptive, and entirely avoidable. Beyond legal protection, ADA compliance is simply the right standard to hold your property to. It ensures every customer, tenant, and visitor can access your building safely and independently.
- Legal Protection – Properly marked and maintained accessible spaces, ramps, and routes reduce exposure to ADA complaints and civil litigation
- Tenant and Customer Satisfaction – Accessible, well-marked properties accommodate all users without barriers or frustration
- Property Value and Leasing – ADA compliance is a basic requirement for tenants — non-compliant properties face leasing obstacles and liability
- Code Inspection Readiness – Documented, compliant accessible facilities prepare your property for municipal or federal inspections
- Community Responsibility – Providing equal access reflects positively on your property and your management standards
ADA Compliance Services We Provide
SouthEast Pavement Inc. handles the pavement and marking components of ADA accessibility — from parking space configuration and marking to accessible route surfaces and ramp construction. We work from current ADA Standards for Accessible Design to ensure every element meets federal requirements.
- Accessible Parking Space Striping – Compliant stall width (minimum 8 feet), access aisle width (5 feet standard, 8 feet van-accessible), and proper quantity per lot size
- Van-Accessible Space Marking – At least one van-accessible space with an 8-foot access aisle and proper signage coordination per ADA requirements
- Handicap Symbol Marking – International Symbol of Accessibility painted in accessible stalls per standard dimensions and placement requirements
- Accessible Route Surfaces – Smooth, stable, slip-resistant pavement surfaces along required accessible routes connecting parking to building entrances
- Curb Ramp Installation – Concrete or asphalt curb ramps with proper slope (maximum 1:12), width, and detectable warning surfaces at required locations
- <strongstyle=”color:#82c0ea;” >Accessible Route Repair – Repair of deteriorated pavement along accessible routes that creates surface conditions inconsistent with ADA requirements
- ADA Compliance Assessment – Property evaluation to identify non-compliant conditions, prioritize corrections, and develop a compliant improvement plan
What the ADA Requires for Commercial Parking
ADA Standards for Accessible Design specify accessible parking requirements based on total lot capacity. A basic reference:
- 1–25 spaces: 1 accessible space required
- 26–50 spaces: 2 accessible spaces required
- 51–75 spaces: 3 accessible spaces required
- 76–100 spaces: 4 accessible spaces required
- 101–150 spaces: 5 accessible spaces required
- 151–200 spaces: 6 accessible spaces required
At least 1 in every 6 accessible spaces (or fraction thereof) must be van-accessible. Additionally, accessible spaces must be located on the shortest accessible route to the building entrance — not wherever it’s convenient to put them. We assess your entire configuration and identify what needs to change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are existing parking lots required to comply with ADA standards?
Yes. Existing facilities are required to remove barriers to accessibility where it is “readily achievable” — meaning where removal can be accomplished without undue difficulty or expense. Renovation or resurfacing projects trigger more extensive compliance requirements. We’ll advise on what’s required for your specific situation.
What's the difference between a standard accessible space and a van-accessible space?
A standard accessible space requires an 8-foot stall with a 5-foot access aisle. A van-accessible space requires an 8-foot stall with an 8-foot access aisle, plus additional vertical clearance if in a structure. The ADA requires at least one van-accessible space per cluster of accessible parking.
Do you handle the signage as well as the pavement marking?
We coordinate the pavement marking and can advise on sign placement requirements, but signage installation is typically handled by a sign contractor. We’ll note signage requirements in our assessment so you have the full picture of what compliance entails.
What if we're planning to reseal or repave — should we address ADA at the same time?
Yes — absolutely. Resurfacing or significant pavement renovation triggers ADA compliance obligations under federal standards. Addressing compliance as part of the paving or sealcoating project is always the most efficient and cost-effective approach. We’ll incorporate ADA corrections into the broader scope.
