What to Consider When Hiring an ADA Contractor

If you are a business or property owner who wants to make sure you are 100% ADA compliant, you will want to look for an experienced ADA contractor in your area. There is no margin for error when it comes to ADA guidelines, and even a quarter of an inch can be the difference between a federal lawsuit and a fully ADA compliant business. The best way to eliminate the stress is to hire the right contractor. 

Let’s take a look at a few of the things you need to consider when choosing an ADA contractor.

Get References and Reviews

Construction work is expensive, and when having it done incorrectly could cost you a federal lawsuit, the investment seems even larger! It is important to know that you are putting your faith into the right hands. Approximately 25% of the work Protrk carries out as an ADA contractor is redoing work that the client already paid for but will not pass a CASp inspection. It is a good idea to look for references, reviews, and recommendations to avoid this situation. Did another business in your area recently use a contractor for ADA work? Can you find independent testimonials on sites like Yelp or Google? Is the contractor you are considering able to give references from previous clients? These are questions you should ask to help build a clear picture of how good a contractor truly is.

Read the Contract

Lastly, one of the most important things to do is read your contract before you sign! Make sure everything is laid out in black and white, including deadlines, payment schedules, materials lists, and so on. All work must be guaranteed to pass the most current ADA laws, codes, and ordinances. Before final payments will be made all work will need to pass a CASp inspection to ensure ADA compliance. If something doesn’t seem right to you, then speak up!

These are just a few of the things you will want to consider if you are looking to hire an ADA contractor.
