ADA Ramp Contractors in San Antonio
SATX Concrete Contractors is an ADA ramp contractor in San Antonio specializing in federally compliant wheelchair ramps, truncated dome installation, accessible entrance retrofits, and ADA parking lot transitions for retail centers, medical facilities, office buildings, restaurants, and multi-family properties across Bexar County. We build new ADA ramps, retrofit non-compliant ramps, and document the work for inspection and lawsuit defense.
ADA compliance is not optional. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires every commercial property open to the public to provide accessible entrances — and Texas has become one of the most active states in the country for ADA "drive-by" lawsuits. A ramp that's one degree too steep, a missing truncated dome at a curb cut, or a landing that's two inches short of code can trigger a federal complaint, a five-figure settlement, and mandatory remediation on a court-ordered timeline.

The 4 ADA Failures We See Most Often in San Antonio
1. Slope Errors
Maximum running slope is 1:12 — for every 1" of vertical rise, you need 12" of run. We measure ramps weekly that come in at 1:10 or steeper.
2. Cross-Slope Drift
Cross-slope cannot exceed 2%. Most commonly missed spec because crews focus on running slope and let cross-slope drift to surrounding pavement.
3. Landing Shortcuts
Every ADA ramp requires a 60" x 60" level landing at top, bottom, and at every direction change. 48" landings are not compliant.
4. Truncated Dome Errors
Required at every transition between pedestrian and vehicle paths. Must be 24" deep, span full width of the curb cut, and placed at the back of the curb.
