Accessible parking is one of the most common targets for ADA complaints and demand letters, and most problems come down to simple things: too few stalls, missing van aisles, or faded markings. We lay out and restripe accessible stalls to current federal standards across Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb County.
Calls answered 24/7.
Under the 2010 ADA Standards, the required number of accessible spaces is based on the total spaces in each lot. At least one of every six accessible spaces, and never fewer than one, must be van accessible.
Standard accessible spaces are at least 96 inches wide with a 60-inch access aisle. Van-accessible spaces need either a 132-inch space with a 60-inch aisle, or a 96-inch space with a 96-inch aisle. Access aisles must be marked so people don't park in them, and stalls should sit on the shortest accessible route to the entrance.
Lots get out of compliance quietly. A restripe that shifts a few lines, an added row of stalls, or paint that wears off the aisle hatching can all create a problem nobody notices until a complaint arrives. This page is a general summary, not legal advice. Local codes can add requirements.
We count your total spaces, check how many accessible and van-accessible stalls you have against the table, and measure stall and aisle widths. If the layout falls short, we show you where to add or shift stalls with the least loss of regular parking.
Then we stripe the stalls and aisles, hatch the access aisles, and paint the International Symbol of Accessibility. We can coordinate sign posts so every accessible stall has a sign, with van-accessible stalls labeled. If we spot slope or curb ramp issues that striping can't fix, we tell you so you can address them with the right contractor.
ADA work is usually done alongside a full parking lot restripe or after sealcoating, when the whole layout is going down fresh anyway.
The federal ADA Standards don't require blue paint. Many owners choose blue to make accessible stalls stand out, and some local codes or property standards ask for it. We stripe whichever your property requires.
Yes. Two accessible spaces can share a single access aisle, which saves room on tight lots. We use that layout when it fits.
Count your total spaces and compare your accessible stalls to the table above, then check that at least one is van accessible and every aisle is clearly marked. If you'd rather not measure, we'll check it when we quote your job.
Yes. Accessible spaces need posted signs with the accessibility symbol, and van-accessible spaces need to be identified on the sign. Painted symbols alone are not enough.
