Building ADA-Compliant Homes in Southwest Florida

At Ramos Builders, we believe that every custom home should be designed to fit the needs of the family who lives in it. For many homeowners, that means incorporating features that make a home safer, more comfortable, and more accessible for people of all abilities. That’s where ADA-compliant design comes in.

While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sets the legal standards for public spaces, its principles can also be applied to residential construction to ensure homes are welcoming and functional for everyone, whether you’re planning for aging in place, mobility challenges, or just future-proofing your investment.

What Does It Mean to Be ADA-Compliant?

An ADA-compliant home is designed so that individuals with physical disabilities can navigate and use it independently. That means carefully considering things like door widths, flooring, bathroom layouts, and cabinetry to remove barriers and create ease of movement.

At Ramos Builders, we don’t take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, we listen to your specific needs and integrate accessibility features seamlessly into your home design.

Key ADA Features We Can Incorporate

• No-Step Entries & Wider Doorways

  Eliminating steps at the front door and using 36” wide doors makes the home accessible for wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers alike.

• Accessible Kitchens

  Lower countertops, pull-out shelving, side-opening ovens, and smart storage make cooking and entertaining easier for everyone.

• Bathroom Safety & Comfort

  Roll-in showers, grab bars, reinforced walls, comfort-height toilets, and enough turning space are essential for accessible design.

• Open Floor Plans

  Wider hallways and fewer barriers create smoother transitions between rooms, ensuring mobility devices can move freely.

• Smart Home Technology

  Voice-activated lighting, automated blinds, and accessible switches can enhance independence and convenience.

Why Consider ADA Compliance in Southwest Florida?

• Aging in Place – Many homeowners here are looking to retire and stay in their homes long-term. ADA-compliant design makes that possible.

• Resale Value – Accessibility is increasingly attractive to buyers who want a future-ready home.

• Peace of Mind – Whether it’s accommodating visiting family or preparing for your own future needs, an ADA-compliant home adds flexibility and security.
