Our self-performing crews help property owners, facility managers, and developers meet federal and state accessibility standards with professionally installed ADA-compliant painting and markings.

Our ADA Compliance Services
We offer a wide range of services developed to help your property achieve and maintain full ADA compliance. Whether you need new striping, surface upgrades, or compliant signage, our team ensures every element of your lot supports accessibility and safety.
ADA-Compliant Parking Lot Striping
Our crews specialize in pavement marking layouts that meet all ADA and state-level design standards. We accurately measure and mark accessible stalls, van-accessible spaces, and access aisles, using durable traffic-grade paint for long-lasting visibility.
Curb Ramps & Pedestrian Pathway Markings
Properly marked and graded ramps provide seamless access from parking areas to sidewalks and building entrances. Chamberlain designs and installs ADA-compliant ramps and directional arrows to create safe pedestrian routes that meet slope and surface standards.
Detectable Warning Surfaces
We install tactile or truncated dome surfaces that assist visually impaired pedestrians. These detectable warning systems are made from durable, high-contrast materials and installed at key transition points such as crosswalks, ramps, and curb edges.
Crosswalks & Pedestrian Safety Zones
Well-defined crosswalks and safety zone markings enhance visibility and reduce the risk of accidents near building entrances, schools, and commercial areas. We use reflective and weather-resistant coatings to maintain bright, consistent markings year-round.
Directional & Accessibility Signage
We provide and install ADA-compliant signage that clearly identifies accessible parking, routes, and building entrances. Each sign is placed at the correct height and angle for maximum visibility and durability.
Ongoing Maintenance & Re-Striping
Fading lines can lead to compliance issues. Chamberlain offers repainting, re-striping, and routine parking lot maintenance services to preserve ADA compliance and surface utility over time.

How Our ADA Pavement Marking Process Works
Every project begins with a detailed site evaluation to ensure our work is performed efficiently and yields lasting results. Our process is designed to minimize disruptions while keeping your lot accessible at all times.
Site Evaluation & Compliance Audit
We start by assessing your current parking layout, slopes, signage, and striping. Our experts identify deficiencies and create a detailed compliance report to guide upgrades.
Design & Plan Adjustments
Next, we develop a new layout plan with accurate spacing for accessible and van-accessible stalls. We also mark signage placement and access routes to ensure all requirements are met.
Pavement Marking & Signage Installation
Our crew installs all necessary line striping, stenciling, and pavement markings using high-visibility coatings. ADA-compliant signs are installed at the correct height and position for easy recognition.
Surface & Ramp Adjustments
If slope corrections, resurfacing, or curb ramp installations are required, our in-house team will make the necessary adjustments.
Final Inspection & Certification
Before wrapping up, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough and inspection to ensure your lot meets all applicable federal, state, and local ADA standards. You’ll receive photos and documentation for your property records and future reference.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are ADA Parking Requirements?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that ensures equal access for individuals with disabilities in public spaces, including parking lots and pedestrian areas. Under the ADA, property owners are required to provide properly marked and accessible parking spaces. ADA-compliant parking lots must feature clear striping, compliant signage, and barrier-free routes from parking areas to building entrances.
What are ADA requirements for parking lot signage?
All accessible parking spaces must be clearly marked with a sign showing the International Symbol of Accessibility, mounted at least five feet above the ground for visibility.
How many accessible parking spaces do I need?
ADA standards require at least one accessible space for every 25 regular parking spaces, with one of every six designed as van-accessible.
Why is concrete preferred for dumpster pads and walkways?
Because concrete resists crushing and denting, it’s ideal for stationary weight and repetitive traffic. Unlike asphalt, it doesn’t soften in heat or deform under pressure, making it perfect for dumpster pads, loading zones, and high-use sidewalks.
How often should striping be refreshed?
Restripe your ADA markings every 2–3 years or whenever lines start to fade. Routine parking lot maintenance, including patching and pothole repair, ensures that markings remain visible and compliant.
Can Chamberlain help if my property failed an ADA inspection?
Yes. Our team can reconfigure layouts, update signage, and handle all necessary repairs to bring your property back into full compliance.
