ADA Kitchens
ADA cabinets are ones that follow those requirements and measurements set out by the ADA.
ADA Kitchens
"ADA cabinets" refers to cabinets that are designed and installed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design. The goal of these standards is to ensure that spaces, including kitchens and bathrooms, are accessible and usable by individuals with disabilities, particularly those who use wheelchairs.
It's important to understand that while "ADA cabinets" is a common term, it's more accurately about the overall design and layout of a space that incorporates cabinets to meet ADA requirements. The cabinets themselves might look similar to standard cabinets, but their dimensions, placement, and features are specifically tailored for accessibility.
Key characteristics and considerations for ADA-compliant cabinets and kitchen/bathroom layouts include: Height of Countertops and Cabinets, Knee and Toe Clearance, Clear Floor Space and Turning Radii, Accessible Storage, Hardware and Controls and Sink Design.

Our Proven Process
They're not a special cabinet type, but standard cabinets strategically placed and dimensioned (e.g., lower heights, open knee/toe space under counters) within a kitchen or bath to comply with ADA accessibility guidelines for wheelchair users.
No, ADA-compliant designs can be very stylish. Modern options ensure accessibility doesn't compromise aesthetics, promoting 'universal design' for all users.
While legally mandated for public spaces, many homeowners incorporate them for "aging in place," future needs, or to accommodate family/guests with mobility challenges in residential settings.
Critical measurements include countertop heights (max 34"), ample knee/toe clearance under sinks/cooktops (27"H x 30"W x 19"D), accessible reach ranges for upper storage (max 48" to bottom shelf), and sufficient clear floor space for wheelchair maneuverability.

Charles served as general contractor for our renovation. We found him to be knowledgeable, creative, practical, and responsive in working with us. All of our renovations turned out beautifully. Charles was very open to our suggestions and needs, but also counseled us about resources and options available for the choices we made.

I am writing this letter of reference for Charles Nadeau to attest to the superior work he did in renovating our new home. As this was our first home purchase, we were very particular in choosing the right contractor to do the job. After meeting with several contractors, we realized that Charles was undoubtedly the right person for us to work with. Given an accelerated timeline between our home closing and move-in date, Charles and his team basically had to paint the entire apartment, renovate an entire wall unit of built in shelves and install lighting in less than one week. His team worked diligently to make sure this large job was done in a very short amount of time. Knowing that he was on the job significantly reduced the amount of stress we already had in trying to coordinate a move in such a short time. Charles is extremely professional, courteous and highly skilled. He made sure to keep us informed by providing periodic updates on the team’s progress. We were extremely happy with his team’s work and couldn’t believe what a great job they did in just a few days. We would highly recommend using Charles and his team for your renovations
