Best ADA Ramp Repair Contractors Winston-Salem NC

Compliance drifts even while the concrete looks fine. A ramp poured to spec can settle at a joint and quietly exceed maximum slope; scaling can roughen a surface past what wheelchair casters tolerate; a landing can tilt until it no longer offers level rest. For businesses in the renovated buildings downtown and around the Innovation Quarter, any of those is both a barrier and a liability. Our repair work begins with instruments rather than assumptions — we shoot every slope and cross-slope, map exactly which segments left tolerance, and rebuild only what failed, finishing with slip-resistant texture and detectable warning surfaces where the standard calls for them.

In Winston-Salem specifically, ada ramp repair work runs through neighborhoods like Holly Avenue, Old Salem, Ardmore. Winston-Salem's concrete work is driven by age. That local ground truth — not a generic spec sheet — is what the crew builds against when they form up a Winston-Salem repair call.

Our ADA Ramp Repair Services

ADA ramp repair work covers a range from a landing crack fill to a full ramp-and-landing rebuild, and matching the fix to what has actually failed the compliance check is what determines whether the ramp will pass an inspection after the work is done.

• Slope correction — regrading a ramp section that has settled or heaved out of the one-in-twelve maximum
• Cross-slope correction — grinding or repouring where the ramp has tilted past two percent side-to-side
• Landing rebuild — full demo and re-pour of a landing that has settled, cracked, or slipped out of the required five-by-five flat area
• Tactile warning strip replacement — removing the failed truncated-dome strip at the ramp base and installing a compliant new one
• Handrail interface repair — re-anchoring handrail posts where the concrete has spalled around the anchor, replacing rusted anchors, correcting handrail height and continuity
• Ramp-to-sidewalk transition repair where the ramp discharge onto the walk has a lip or vertical displacement
• Full ADA ramp replacement where slope, landing geometry, or footing failure has pushed the ramp beyond practical repair
• Threshold ramp fixes at building entrances where the small transition ramp at the door has failed
• Handrail addition where an existing ramp is missing required handrails
• Curb ramp repair at parking lot and municipal frontage locations

We measure slope, cross-slope, and landing geometry with a smart level before we quote, so the scope is built around bringing the ramp back into ADA compliance — not just fixing what the eye catches on a walk-through.

ADA Slope, Cross-Slope, Landing, and Handrail Standards

ADA ramp standards are specific and unforgiving. A repair that gets the ramp back to looking flat but misses the actual numbers by a percent is not a passing repair. Every ADA ramp scope we quote is measured against the standard first and then priced against what it takes to hit the numbers.

The core ADA standards we build and repair to:

• Maximum running slope of one in twelve — 8.33 percent — over any section of the ramp
• Maximum cross-slope of two percent, measured perpendicular to the direction of travel
• Maximum single-run rise of thirty inches; longer rises require intermediate landings
• Landings at the top, bottom, and any direction change, at least sixty inches by sixty inches, with slope no greater than two percent in any direction
• Minimum clear width of thirty-six inches between handrails
• Handrails required on both sides of any ramp with a rise over six inches or a run over seventy-two inches
• Handrail height thirty-four to thirty-eight inches above the ramp surface, continuous the full length of the ramp
• Handrail extensions of twelve inches horizontal at the top and bottom on most commercial applications
• Tactile warning surfaces (truncated domes) required at ramp discharge onto vehicular ways in most municipal applications
• Edge protection — curb, wall, railing, or projecting surface — on any ramp with a drop-off

Missing any one of these puts the ramp out of ADA compliance and, on commercial or public-frontage applications, into liability territory. Our repair scopes name each dimension that has to be corrected and confirm compliance after the work is finished.
