Professional Concrete ADA Ramps Built to Last

ADA ramp violations are one of the most common accessibility deficiencies flagged during commercial property inspections and disability discrimination complaints. . Father & Son Masonry has been building ADA-compliant ramps in the Phoenix metro for 30+ years — concrete ramps built to the exact specifications of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, passed on first inspection, and documented with full compliance photos and certification for your legal protection.

City of Phoenix and Maricopa County enforcement of ADA ramp requirements during building permits and certificate of occupancy inspections. F&S builds to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and coordinates with inspectors to ensure first-pass approval. We source concrete, detectable warning materials, and edge protection from code-compliant suppliers and maintain documentation of all installation for your compliance file.

ADA Ramp Construction to the Exact Code Dimensions

Why ADA ramps fail inspection — slope exceeds 1:12, landing is too small, cross slope is too steep, or edge protection is missing. The tolerance is tight and the consequences of failure (re-work, delayed CO, potential litigation) are significant. Every ADA ramp Father & Son Masonry builds starts with a site survey and design that locks in the slope, landing, and edge protection dimensions before forms are set. We verify slope with a level and tape measure, confirm landing dimensions are minimum 60″x60″, and ensure detectable warnings are positioned to code specifications.

Maximum slope ratio of 1:12 (8.33%) maintained throughout — verified by level and tape before concrete is poured. We measure rise and run at multiple points to confirm slope accuracy.
Level landings at top and bottom — minimum 60″x60″ clear floor space per ADA standards. Landing elevation confirmed with laser level to eliminate any crown or pitch that would create confusion.
Cross slope limited to 1:48 — perpendicular slope across the ramp width controlled during form setting so water sheds properly and people with mobility devices don’t slip sideways.
Detectable warning surfaces and edge protection — truncated dome panels and curb returns installed per ADA requirements, positioned exactly at the top and bottom transitions where code requires them.

How We Build ADA Ramps in Phoenix

Site measurement and ADA standards review — Permit application with ramp specifications — Existing surface demolition if required — Form setting with slope verification — Concrete pour and broom finish — Detectable warning surface installation — Inspection coordination. Every step is documented to provide proof of compliance for your property file.

Site measurement and ADA standards review — We measure existing elevations, confirm the ramp location and length needed, and review current ADA standards to ensure our design will meet requirements.
Permit application with ramp specifications — We submit ADA ramp plans to City of Phoenix or Maricopa County with slope calculations, landing dimensions, and detectable warning specifications.
Existing surface demolition if required — If replacing an existing ramp or curb, we remove and dispose of the old surface, preparing the subgrade for new concrete.
Form setting with slope verification — Forms are set to the exact slope ratio (1:12), with the landing elevation confirmed by laser level. Slope is spot-checked at multiple points before concrete arrives.
Concrete pour, broom finish, and detectable warnings — Concrete is placed and finished with a broom texture for slip resistance. Detectable warning panels are installed after concrete cures, and the work is documented for inspection sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions About Masonry Services

The maximum slope ratio is 1:12 (8.33%). This means for every 12 inches of horizontal distance, the ramp rises 1 inch. For example, a 3-foot rise requires a 36-foot ramp length. Father & Son Masonry verifies slope at multiple points during construction to ensure it never exceeds 1:12 anywhere on the ramp surface.
Yes. Any ramp construction or modification in the City of Phoenix requires a building permit and compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The permit application includes ramp slope calculations, landing dimensions, and detectable warning specifications. Father & Son Masonry handles the entire permit process and coordinates with City of Phoenix for inspection approval.
A detectable warning surface is a tactile/textured ground surface (typically truncated dome panels or cast-in-place texture) installed at the top and bottom of a ramp where it meets a street, sidewalk, or other pedestrian area. It's required by the ADA to alert people with vision disabilities to the presence of the ramp. We install code-compliant detectable warning surfaces on every ADA ramp project.
For a simple ADA ramp (single slope, standard entry ramp), construction typically takes 3-7 working days from permit approval to inspection sign-off. Permit processing through City of Phoenix adds 1-3 weeks. More complex ramps (multiple turns, landings, or retrofit installations in tight spaces) take longer. We provide a project schedule in the written estimate.
Both the top and bottom landings must be a minimum of 60 inches (5 feet) wide and 60 inches deep (in the direction of ramp travel). This clear floor space allows people using mobility devices to turn 180 degrees at the landing. Landings must be level (no slope) and be at the same elevation at ramps connect to them.
