In 1990, ADA or Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in hopes of improving the quality of life of those with impairments in the public. With this Act, there was now a way to insure he safety, security, and ease of navigation for individuals with limiting disabilities. There are now size, material, and placement standards for all businesses to have specific sign products placed in preordained locations, mounted to the prerequisites asked in the ordinances. At Sequoia Signs & Graphics, we want to make sure our clients are in compliance with ADA laws, so they can avoid the fees that can amount to upwards of $50,000!
