Access Solutions That Meet Code and Function Reliably
ADA-Compliant Concrete Services in Cushing and Jacksonville, Texas
Your building in Cushing must provide safe, accessible entry for customers, employees, and tenants who use wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids. Non-compliant ramps and walkways create legal exposure and exclude people from your business. ADA-compliant concrete solutions bring your property up to code with ramps, walkways, and access areas that meet federal and local standards.
East Texas Finest Concrete Services, LLC installs ramps, landings, and accessible pathways designed to meet slope, width, and surface texture requirements. We work from site measurements and code specifications to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Each installation includes proper drainage, stable edges, and non-slip finishes that function in wet conditions.

How ADA Compliance Shapes the Pour
We measure the elevation change between the entry and the landing to calculate the ramp length and slope. In Cushing, ramp installations often require excavation to create a gradual approach that meets the maximum 1:12 slope ratio. Landings are poured at the top and bottom of each ramp, sized to allow wheelchair users to maneuver and rest.
After the concrete cures, you will see a smooth, slip-resistant surface with defined edges and handrail anchor points if required. The ramp provides stable, even access without abrupt transitions or uneven joints. Proper slope and texture allow safe use in rain, heat, and normal wear conditions.
We follow ADA guidelines for width, cross slope, and landing dimensions. The work includes forming, reinforcement, and finishing, but does not cover handrail fabrication or installation unless arranged separately. We coordinate with inspectors and property managers to ensure the finished installation passes code review.

Common Concerns About ADA Concrete Work
Property owners often have questions about slope requirements, site constraints, and how compliance is verified.
What slope is required for an ADA-compliant ramp?
ADA ramps cannot exceed a 1:12 slope, meaning one inch of rise for every twelve inches of run. Steeper slopes do not meet federal standards and may not pass inspection.
How wide does an accessible walkway need to be?
Accessible walkways must be at least 36 inches wide to allow wheelchair passage. Wider paths are recommended for high-traffic areas or two-way access.
When is a landing required on a ramp?
Landings are required at the top and bottom of every ramp and at any point where the ramp changes direction. Each landing must be at least 60 inches long to allow safe turning and resting.
What surface finish is used for ADA ramps?
We use a broom finish or light texture that provides traction without being rough enough to impede wheeled mobility devices. The surface must remain slip-resistant when wet.
How do you handle existing grade changes on a property?
We assess the elevation difference and available space, then design a compliant ramp layout that fits your site. In tight spaces, switchback ramps or terraced landings may be necessary.
