Clubhouse stairs are not an ADA ramp

Clubhouse stairs are an amenity pour. They are not the ADA ramp at the street.

The stairs at a community clubhouse are an amenity pour, not the ramp at the street. Precision Concrete & Construction looks at those steps when the nosing is spalled, a tread has dropped, or a rail post is standing in a cracked pocket.

Residents use these stairs every weekend. The board sees them on the way into a meeting. A street-corner ramp with a detectable warning is a different file, with a different slope and a different panel. Folding the clubhouse stairs into “ADA work” is how the proposal comes back with the wrong crew and the wrong count. Precision does this work for HOA managers in Orange, Seminole, Brevard, Volusia, Osceola, and Lake counties.

What to send before the visit

Send a photo from the bottom of the run, one from the top, and say whether the rail is staying. Nikki Mejia will tell you if the treads come out, if the nosing can be rebuilt, or if the pocket around a rail post is its own line. A stair that holds water on the tread is a slope problem, not a cosmetic chip. The ADA ramps page is the street corner. The detectable-warnings guide is the dome panel. This page is the amenity stairs.

What this is not

This is not a ramp quote, and it is not a promise that every spalled nosing can be patched. Some runs have to come out. Call (407) 925-7873 for a free assessment, or email info@precisionpaintandconstruction.com. Name the clubhouse, not “the amenity,” so the walk starts at the right door.
