This page covers accessibility statement, including what to expect, what affects the price and what to ask before you hire. This accessibility statement describes how Rivermark Home Renovation works to keep this website usable for everyone. Rivermark Home Renovation wants this site to be usable by everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or reduced-motion settings. This statement describes what we have done and how to tell us when something does not work.
Accessibility statement: what we have built in
- Semantic HTML structure with one H1 per page and a logical heading order
- Text alternatives for meaningful images
- Keyboard-accessible navigation, links, form fields and buttons with visible focus
- Colour contrast chosen for readability against the light background
- Reduced-motion support, so animation is minimised when your system requests it
- Responsive layout that works at phone, tablet and desktop widths
- Data presented in real tables with header cells, not as images of tables
- Form fields with associated labels rather than placeholder text alone
- Descriptive link text instead of bare “click here” links
How to use this site with a keyboard alone
Everything on this site is reachable without a mouse. If you have not navigated a site this way before, these are the controls.
- Tab moves forward through links, buttons and form fields; Shift+Tab moves back
- Enter activates a link or button; Space also activates buttons
- In the mobile menu, Escape closes the panel and returns focus to the button that opened it
- Arrow keys move between options once a select control is open
- The focused element always shows a visible outline, so you can see where you are
Form fields have real labels rather than placeholder text alone, so a screen reader announces what each field is for even once you have started typing in it. Required fields are marked in text, and validation messages are associated with the field they describe rather than appearing only as colour.
Accessibility statement: standard we are working to
We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a practical target. We are not claiming certification or a formal audit; this is a statement of intent and of the measures above, which we test as the site changes.
How the data tables are built
A lot of this site is tabular data, which is exactly the kind of content that goes wrong for screen reader users when it is done carelessly. Ours are built as real tables.
- Real
tableelements, never images of tables or layout built from divs - A caption on every table saying what it contains
- Header cells marked as headers with an explicit column scope
- Source and limitation notes placed in text immediately after the table, not in a tooltip
- Horizontal scrolling on narrow screens rather than shrinking text below a readable size
- No colour-only meaning: every distinction is also stated in words
If a table on this site is difficult to read with your setup, that is a defect worth reporting — see the feedback section below.
Accessibility statement: motion and animation
The site uses a slow background treatment and small transitions. Both respect the reduced-motion setting in your operating system: when that is on, the background becomes static and transitions are reduced to near-instant state changes. Nothing on this site flashes, auto-plays video with sound, or moves faster than three flashes per second.
Known limitations
Third-party content that we embed, such as a map, may not meet the same standard, because we do not control its markup. Where that is the case, the same information is available in text on the page or by phone.
Accessibility statement: alternative ways to reach us
If any part of this site is difficult to use, you do not have to work around it. Call (470) 847-9076 or message us through the contact form and we will take your enquiry directly, answer questions and arrange a site visit without the form.
Accessible remodeling work
Accessibility also matters in the work itself. Curbless showers, comfort-height fixtures, wider door openings, blocking for future grab bars and step-free entries are ordinary parts of our scope, not specialist add-ons. See bathroom remodeling and interior remodeling.
Accessibility statement: feedback
Tell us what did not work, which page it was on and what you were using — browser, screen reader or assistive technology. That is enough for us to reproduce and fix it. We treat accessibility reports as defects, not suggestions.
How this site is structured for assistive technology
Each page has one H1 that states what the page is about, followed by H2 and H3 headings in order and without levels skipped, so a screen reader’s heading list is a usable table of contents. Landmarks are used for the header, the main content and the footer, so you can jump past the navigation rather than tabbing through it on every page.
Accessibility statement: links, colour and text
Links in body text are underlined as well as coloured, so they are identifiable without relying on colour alone, and link text describes its destination rather than saying “click here”. Body text is set in a dark slate on a light background for contrast, and the layout is built in relative units, so increasing the text size in your browser reflows the page instead of clipping it.
Forms and error messages
Every field on the estimate form has a visible label that is programmatically associated with its input, not just placeholder text, so the label is still announced after you start typing. Validation messages appear next to the field they refer to and in text, not as colour alone. If a submission fails, the message says so rather than failing silently.
Accessibility statement: zoom, reflow and small screens
The layout is built mobile-first and reflows to a single column, so the same content is available at 320 pixels wide as on a desktop monitor, and at 200% browser zoom without a horizontal scrollbar appearing across the page. Data tables are the exception: a wide table scrolls horizontally inside its own container rather than stretching the page, and each one keeps its header row and caption so the columns stay identifiable while you scroll it.
What we do not rely on
- No content that depends on hover alone to be reachable.
- No images of text in place of real text, apart from labels inside charts.
- No time limits on reading or on completing the form.
- No audio or video that starts by itself.
Accessibility statement: how we handle a report
Accessibility problems are treated as defects. When you report one, we reproduce it, fix it and republish the page; we do not wait for a redesign cycle. If a fix will take time, we will tell you what the workaround is in the meantime — usually that the same information is available by phone or email, with no form in the way.

Reporting a problem with this accessibility statement
We aim to keep this site readable and navigable with a keyboard and screen reader, with clear headings and sufficient contrast. If something does not work for you, we want to know.
You can read the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines overview to see the standards we aim for. To report a barrier covered by this accessibility statement, call us or use the contact form and we will help directly.
Accessibility at a glance
We want this site to be usable by as many people as possible, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or voice control. This summary sits alongside the fuller statement above and describes the everyday features you can expect.
- Headings follow a logical order so screen reader users can move through a page by section.
- Images carry descriptive alternative text where the image adds meaning.
- Links use readable text that describes where they go.
- Forms have visible labels and clear messages when something needs correcting.
- Text is sized and spaced for comfortable reading and scales with your browser settings.
Tips for getting the most from the site
Most browsers include built-in tools that help. You can enlarge text with your browser zoom, switch to a high-contrast display in your device settings, or use a screen reader to move between headings and links. Keyboard users can press Tab to move between links and form fields and Enter to activate them.
Known limitations
Accessibility is ongoing work and we may not have caught everything. Some third-party tools, embedded content or older pages may not meet every guideline. If you find something that is hard to use, please tell us so we can improve it.
