Our Countertop Height Adjustment Services
We focus on making sure your countertops fit your needs and meet ADA rules. Our services cover everything from initial measurements to precise installation. We work to combine function, style, and safety in every project.
Consultation and Assessment
We start by visiting your home or business to measure the current countertop height. We check your space and ask about your daily needs to decide the right height adjustment. Our goal is to make the countertop easy and safe to use.
We also review any existing cabinets and appliances to avoid issues during installation. Our team ensures the adjustments meet ADA standards, so the countertop can be used by people with disabilities. This step prevents costly errors later on.
Custom Design Solutions for Compliance
We design counters tailored specifically to your measurements and ADA guidelines. We consider the height, knee clearance, and depth needed for ease of use. Our design options include granite, quartz, and marble, so you keep your desired look.
We can adjust the thickness and edge profiles to fit your style and function needs. If you require specific features like rounded corners or easy-to-clean surfaces, we include those in the design. Every detail is planned for comfort and compliance.
Professional Installation
Our expert installers handle your project with care and precision. We remove the old countertop and make sure the new one fits perfectly at the adjusted height. We verify that the workspace is safe and clean after the job.
We also double-check all ADA requirements during installation. This includes measuring clearances and ensuring the counters are secure and stable. Our team provides guidance on maintenance and use within ADA limits once installation is done.
ADA Height Requirements for Residential and Commercial Spaces
We follow the ADA guidelines to ensure countertop heights meet accessibility needs.
This helps create environments that meet ADA requirements and improve user comfort.
We meticulously adhere to comprehensive ADA guidelines to ensure our countertop installations deliver optimal accessibility and usability for all users.
For commercial applications, ADA regulations specifically mandate that countertops maintain heights between 28 to 34 inches from the finished floor, with this carefully calibrated range designed to provide comfortable reach and workspace access for wheelchair users while accommodating individuals of varying heights and mobility levels.
In residential environments, while greater design flexibility exists, we strongly recommend implementing accessibility-conscious design principles from the outset. When creating truly inclusive home spaces, we typically suggest countertop heights of approximately 34 inches, as this elevation significantly enhances daily task performance and reduces physical strain for individuals with mobility challenges, aging-in-place considerations, or those who simply benefit from ergonomically optimized workspace heights.
Our precision customization capabilities allow us to tailor countertop elevations to meet these exacting standards while seamlessly integrating with your existing design aesthetic. Our comprehensive height adjustment services encompass all critical areas including kitchen prep zones, bathroom vanities, sink surrounds, dedicated work stations, and integrated seating areas, ensuring every surface in your space promotes both comfort and accessibility.
Whether you're retrofitting an existing space for improved accessibility or designing a new installation with universal design principles, our expert team delivers meticulous attention to both regulatory compliance and functional excellence.
Materials and Finishes for Customized Countertops
We offer a variety of materials to fit your style and needs. Our main options include granite, quartz, and marble. Each material has unique benefits and can be customized for height and ADA compliance.
Granite is durable and heat-resistant. It works well in kitchens where toughness is important. We can polish it to a shiny or matte finish, depending on your preference.
Quartz is low maintenance and non-porous. It resists stains better than natural stones. We provide it in many colors and textures, with smooth or textured finishes available.
Marble offers a classic, elegant look. It is softer and may require more care. However, it can be sealed and finished to protect against damage while keeping its natural beauty.
We also customize countertop edges and surfaces. Popular edge styles include rounded bullnose, beveled, and straight chamfer. Finishes vary from highly polished to honed or brushed, all designed to meet both aesthetics and ADA requirements.
Our team works closely with you to select the right material and finish. This ensures your customized countertop fits your space and accessibility needs perfectly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Countertop Height Customization and ADA Compliance Adjustments
What is the process for customizing countertop height to meet ADA standards?
We start by measuring the space and understanding the required ADA height. Then, we adjust the countertop during fabrication or modify the base cabinet to ensure compliance.

Modular granite countertops can be trimmed during installation or pre-cut to ADA heights. We also offer adjustable supports to fine-tune the final height on site.
