End-to-End Service from a Local Team That Knows California Requirements

A stock sign ordered online might meet federal ADA specifications on paper and still be non-compliant in California. Title 24 specifies mounting heights, restroom sign configurations, and the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) in ways that differ from the federal standard. Getting those details right can require someone familiar with the California Building Code, not just a manufacturer’s spec sheet.

Our team provides Graphic Design, Content Development, Installation, and Project Management as part of every signage engagement. Custom accessible signage can be designed to complement your building’s aesthetic and incorporate your brand colors within ADA contrast requirements. Autumn is recognized for creating customized design options and helping the final product match client expectations. Ryan handles estimates and is regularly cited for competitive pricing and quick turnaround.

Regulatory & Safety Signs and ADA Signage We Produce

We work across two main categories for facilities in Clovis. Both carry compliance obligations, and both benefit from working with a team that handles fabrication and installation together.

Regulatory & Warning Signs

Regulatory signs communicate the policies, precautions, and legal requirements that protect visitors and employees. Color conventions carry meaning at a glance: red signals prohibition or danger, yellow indicates caution, green marks safe conditions, and blue signals mandatory instructions. We produce compliance signs, workplace safety signs, and OSHA signage for construction sites, private property, and business facilities. Common examples include exit, fire exit, emergency exit, no smoking, smoke-free workplace, fire extinguisher, and safety directional signs.

Custom Accessible Signage & ADA Signage

ADA signage covers any permanent room or space that visitors or employees need to identify or navigate, including stairwells, elevators, fire exits, entryways, and parking lots. We produce braille and graphic signs that combine raised characters and Grade II Braille, designed to meet both the tactile and visual requirements the law requires. Wayfinding and room identification signs for restrooms, conference rooms, and similar spaces all fall within this category.

Federal ADA Sign Requirements: Technical Specifications

Every ADA-compliant sign must meet a specific set of technical standards regardless of where the facility is located. Understanding these requirements helps you evaluate whether existing signage is compliant and what a new installation must include.

Contrast & Font
Signs must exhibit sufficient contrast between background and text colors. Lettering must use a sans serif font with no added decorative features. There are no permitted flourishes or stylized strokes on compliant tactile characters.

Tactile Characters & Sizing
Tactile lettering must be uppercase and between 5/8 inch and 2 inches in height. Individual characters must be spaced at least 1/8 inch apart, with a maximum of four times the raised character stroke width. All ADA-compliant signs must include both raised characters and Grade II Braille.

Braille Placement
Braille lettering must be placed below and centered to all text, with a minimum 3/8-inch space between any other sign elements, including borders. Sign text must also maintain a minimum 3/8-inch space from the edge of the sign.

Pictograms
If a sign contains a pictogram identifying a permanent space, tactile text descriptors are also required. Pictograms include the wheelchair symbol and gender symbols for restroom identification.

Mounting Height & Location
The baseline of the lowest raised character must be at least 48 inches above the finished floor; the baseline of the highest raised character must be no more than 60 inches above the floor. Interior ADA signs should be installed on the latch side of the door and must not be mounted directly on a door. If insufficient space exists at the latch side, the sign may be mounted on the nearest adjacent wall.

California Title 24 & AB 1732: What Clovis Businesses Need to Know

California imposes requirements that go beyond the federal ADA standard. Businesses in Clovis must meet both sets of rules, and where California Title 24 is stricter, the state standard governs.

Two-sign restroom requirement: California requires two signs for restroom compliance. A wall sign must meet ADA tactile and Braille requirements; a separate geometric door sign must meet visual requirements, with its color contrasting against the door itself.
Narrower mounting height range: California specifies 48 inches to the bottom of the Braille, making the allowable height range slightly narrower than the federal standard.
All-gender restroom signage: California Assembly Bill 1732 requires that single-user restroom facilities display signage designating them for use by all genders.
International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA): In California, the ISA is required at all accessible entrances where not all entrances at a facility are accessible. Facilities where every entrance is accessible aren’t required to post the ISA at each entry. Inaccessible entrances must include directional signage pointing to the nearest accessible entrance.
New construction & renovation: Any facility undergoing new construction or renovation must meet current California Title 24 accessibility requirements before opening.

Facilities & Businesses with Compliance Signage Obligations

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires that buildings be accessible to people with disabilities, which includes having compliant signage throughout the property. That obligation applies broadly across facility types.

Public-facing facilities with ADA signage requirements include offices, medical and healthcare facilities, retail stores, restaurants, educational institutions, and multi-tenant commercial buildings. Any sign that identifies a permanent room or space, directs visitors to accessible features, or informs about functional areas of a facility must meet ADA standards.

Regulatory and warning signs carry separate requirements wherever safety rules, access restrictions, or facility policies must be posted. OSHA workplace safety signage requirements apply specifically to manufacturing, construction, warehousing, and other environments where hazards must be communicated clearly. Stairwells, parking areas, and restricted zones are common locations where safety and accessibility signage intersect.
