ADA Compliance Services in Arlington, TX

ADA compliance services in Arlington, TX keep your commercial property accessible and protected from liability in the entertainment capital of DFW. C & D Commercial Services has been doing ADA compliance work across Tarrant County and DFW for over 40 years. Arlington is the entertainment capital of DFW, home to AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas, and the Arlington Entertainment District. The event traffic from Cowboys games, Rangers games, and concerts means thousands of visitors converge on the commercial properties in the entertainment district. The accessible parking, ramps, and routes at these properties need to handle extreme event traffic while meeting ADA and Texas Accessibility Standards. The commercial corridors along IH-30, Cooper Street, and Collins Street also have retail centers and professional offices that need compliance. Properties built in the 1970s through 2000s may have been compliant when built but no longer meet updated standards.

We work with property managers, business owners, and facility directors in Arlington who need ADA compliance audits, ramp installation, accessible parking striping, and signage. Our crews know the current standards and the specific conditions of the entertainment district and the commercial corridors.

Our ADA compliance process starts with a full site audit. We walk your property from the public right-of-way to the building entrance, checking every accessible element. We measure parking space widths, access aisle dimensions, ramp slopes, curb ramp profiles, door clearances, and route surfaces. We document every issue with measurements and photographs, and we provide a written report.

For Arlington entertainment district properties, the extreme event traffic creates specific compliance challenges. The accessible parking spaces see heavy use during events, and the striping and signage need to be maintained more frequently. The accessible routes from parking to entrances handle thousands of visitors during event days, and any obstacles or non-compliant sections are immediately noticed. We identify any issues that could affect event-day accessibility.

The IH-30 corridor properties serve highway traffic and event visitors. The frontage road properties see steady traffic, and the accessible parking and routes need to meet standards for both regular customers and event visitors. The Cooper Street and Collins Street corridors have retail centers and restaurants that serve the local community and the entertainment district traffic.

After the audit, we provide a prioritized list of fixes. We separate critical violations from maintenance items and provide a quote and timeline. For entertainment district properties, we prioritize the fixes that affect event-day accessibility, ensuring the property is ready for the next major event.

For new construction in Arlington, we can help with TAS plan review preparation. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requires a TAS plan review before construction begins on new commercial properties and major renovations. We understand the requirements and can help ensure your project meets the standards from the start.

For older Arlington properties, the expansive clay soil in Tarrant County causes footing movement that can affect ramp slopes and route surfaces. A ramp that was compliant when built may now exceed the maximum slope. We identify these issues and recommend fixes.

The accessible route is the core of ADA compliance. For Arlington commercial properties, the route from accessible parking spaces to the building entrance must be continuous, unobstructed, and compliant. We install and repair curb ramps that connect the parking lot to the walkway, ensuring the ramp has the proper slope, width, and detectable warning surface.

For entertainment district properties, the curb ramps and routes see extreme use during events. Thousands of visitors walk the routes during Cowboys games, Rangers games, and concerts. The curb ramps can wear quickly, and the detectable warning surfaces can become damaged. We repair or replace curb ramps that no longer meet the standards, and we recommend more frequent inspections for high-traffic routes.

The building entrance is a critical point. For Arlington restaurants and retail properties, the entrance must be accessible with proper door clearance, threshold height, and opening force. We install or modify door hardware, adjust thresholds, and ensure the entrance meets current standards.

The expansive clay soil in Tarrant County is particularly active. The soil movement can affect ramp slopes over time. A ramp built at 1:12 slope may have shifted to a steeper slope. We re-measure ramp slopes during every audit and recommend corrections.

For properties with multiple levels or changes in elevation, we install or repair ramps that connect the levels. The ramps must have the proper slope, width, landings, and handrails. For entertainment district properties with elevated entrances or multi-level retail, we ensure every ramp meets the current standards.

The path of travel must be free of obstacles. For Arlington entertainment district properties, event signage, barriers, and equipment can end up in the accessible route during events. We identify any obstacles and recommend solutions that keep the route clear during events.

Accessible parking is one of the most visible ADA compliance elements. For Arlington commercial properties, the number, width, and signage of accessible spaces must meet current standards. We stripe accessible spaces with the proper width, access aisles, and no-parking markings.

The number of accessible spaces depends on the total spaces in the lot. For every 25 spaces, at least 1 must be accessible. For every 6 accessible spaces, at least 1 must be van-accessible. We count your total spaces and ensure you have the required number.

The signage must include the international symbol of accessibility and, for van-accessible spaces, a van-accessible sign. The signs must be mounted at the proper height. We install and maintain accessible parking signage that meets the standards.

For Arlington entertainment district properties, the parking lot striping wears faster due to the extreme event traffic. Faded striping can make accessible spaces non-compliant. We recommend regular re-striping for entertainment district properties, with more frequent inspections before major events. The large parking lots around AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field need regular maintenance.

The access aisle must be marked with diagonal hatching or no-parking marking and kept clear of obstacles. For entertainment district properties, the access aisles can get blocked by event traffic, vendors, and equipment. We ensure the access aisle is properly marked and advise property managers on keeping it clear during events.

For properties with passenger loading zones, we ensure the loading zone meets the access aisle and signage requirements. The loading zone requires an access aisle that is at least 60 inches wide and 20 feet long, with proper signage.

We do not list prices on a website because every ADA compliance project is different. The scope of work, the size of the property, the number of issues to fix, the type of repairs needed. What we can tell you is that we have been doing ADA compliance work in DFW for over 40 years, and we have the crews and equipment to handle any property. Property managers who compare our quotes typically find we come in lower because we already have the crews and equipment for other services on commercial properties.
