Red Barn Junk Removal of Quakertown builds and maintains this website so it can be used by as many people as possible — including people using a screen reader, a keyboard instead of a mouse, voice control, screen magnification, or a phone with the text size turned all the way up.

This page tells you three things: the standard we build to, what we know still needs work, and how to get a junk removal job quoted and booked without using this website at all.

Red Barn Junk Removal of Quakertown builds redbarnjunk.com to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. The site has not been through an independent third-party audit, so we describe it as partially conformant: most of it meets the standard and some parts have not been formally verified.

If any part of this site does not work for you, the entire job — estimate, price and booking — can be handled by phone at (215) 607-8804. Phones are answered 24/7. There is nothing on this website you are required to use in order to become a customer.

The Standard We Build To

We build this site to WCAG 2.1, Level AA — the benchmark used by US courts, federal agencies and most state procurement rules to judge whether a website is accessible.

Conformance status: partially conformant. That means most of the site meets Level AA, and some parts have not been fully verified. We have not commissioned an independent third-party audit, and we will not claim one we have not had. When that changes, this page changes with it.

We also do not use an accessibility overlay, toolbar or widget — the kind that adds a floating icon promising instant compliance. Those tools are widely reported by screen reader users to make sites harder to use, not easier, and they do not fix the underlying code. We fix the underlying code instead.

What’s Built In

These are decisions locked into the site’s design system, not aspirations:

• Colour contrast checked pair by pair. Body text runs at roughly 13:1 on our page background; white text on the dark brand red at about 7.4:1; both clear Level AAA. Our orange buttons carry near-black text at about 5.5:1, never white — white on that orange fails at 2.9:1, so it is prohibited across the whole site.
• Colour is never the only signal. Because our primary brand colour is red, a red-coloured error message on its own would be ambiguous. Every error and status message carries an icon and a text label as well as a colour.
• Text sized for a phone in bright light. Body text is 17–18px with 1.6 line height, and running text is held to 65–75 characters per line. Text can be resized up to 200% without content breaking or overlapping.
• Keyboard operable. Every link, button, menu, accordion and form field can be reached and operated with a keyboard, and the element you are on shows a visible focus outline. The mobile menu and the sticky call bar return focus where you left it rather than trapping it.
• Reduced motion respected. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site’s animations and transitions are switched off.
• Labelled controls and landmarks. Interactive controls carry accessible names, expandable sections announce whether they are open or closed, and decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers so they are not read out as noise.
• Headings in order, one H1 per page — so screen reader and reading-mode users can navigate by structure instead of scrolling through everything.
• Descriptive alt text on photographs that carry information. Our photography is brand imagery, so alt text describes what the picture shows rather than inventing a place, a date or a person.
• Real text, not pictures of text. Prices, phone numbers and service lists are selectable, zoomable text — including the pricing table, which uses aligned numerals so figures stay readable in columns.
• Tap targets sized for imprecise touch, with spacing between them, so the call button is not a lottery.
• Self-hosted fonts — the page renders without waiting on a third-party server, which matters most on the slow rural connections in parts of Upper Bucks.
• No auto-playing audio or video, and no content that flashes.

What Still Needs Work

We would rather publish this list than pretend it doesn’t exist.

• No independent audit yet. Our testing is internal. An external review by testers who use assistive technology daily is planned and not yet done.
• Embedded third-party content. The map and any embedded review content come from outside services whose code we do not control. Where they fall short, we provide the same information as plain text on the page — our full address, service area and hours are always written out, never map-only.
• The quote form’s photo upload. Photos make an estimate far more accurate, but uploading them can be difficult with some assistive technology and on some older phones. The photo upload is optional. You can describe the job in the text field, text photos to us later, email them, or skip photos entirely and book a free on-site estimate instead.
• Older pages and documents. As the site grows, some pages are newer than others. If you hit one that hasn’t caught up, tell us — see below.
• Our automated phone assistant. Outside crew hours the phone line is answered by a digital assistant, not a person. It identifies itself as automated at the start of the call. If it isn’t working for you, call back during crew hours — 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Saturday — or email us and we will call you back.

You Don’t Need This Website to Hire Us

This matters more than anything else on this page. Nothing on this site is a required step. The whole job can be done over the phone or in person:

• Call (215) 607-8804. Phones are answered 24/7. During crew hours — 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Saturday — a person takes the call. Outside those hours a digital assistant, which announces that it is automated, takes your details and books your estimate.
• Get a free on-site estimate. We come to the property, look at what needs to go, and give you the price in person. It costs nothing and there is no obligation. If reading a screen is difficult, this is the simplest route and we recommend it.
• Describe the job out loud instead of typing it. No form, no photos, no upload required.
• Have someone speak for you. A family member, carer, neighbour, building manager or agent can book, be present, and approve the price on your behalf — just tell us who that is when you call.
• Email office@redbarnjunk.com if a phone call isn’t workable, and we will handle it in writing.

Accessibility on the Job Itself

An accessible website is only half of it. On site:

• You point; the crew does every bit of the lifting. Nothing is carried, dragged, sorted or moved to the curb by you. That is the service, not an accommodation.
• The crew comes to the item. Hay lofts, cellars, back bedrooms, garages, the far end of a yard — we come to where the item is rather than asking you to bring it out.
• You get an arrival window, and a call if we’re running late — before the window closes, not after. We do not promise a specific arrival time, because it is not a promise we could hold.
• The firm price is presented and approved at the property before anything is loaded, and nothing is added after that. If you would rather have that number read to you over the phone, or sent in writing to you or to a family member before you agree to it, say so and we will do that.
• You do not have to be there. We do unattended cleanouts with lockbox or key access, secure the doors afterward and send photos of the finished property the same day.
• Floor and doorway protection on every interior job, a broom-clean finish, and photos of the space before and after.
• Pay when the job is done — card link, Venmo or CashApp. If none of those work for you, tell us at booking and we will find a method that does.

Tell Us About a Problem

If something on this site blocked you — a page a screen reader couldn’t read, a control a keyboard couldn’t reach, text too small or too low-contrast, a form that wouldn’t submit — we want to know, and we would rather hear it directly than have you give up and call someone else.

Red Barn Junk Removal of Quakertown 127 S 5th St, Quakertown, PA 18951 Phone: (215) 607-8804 Email: office@redbarnjunk.com

What to send us, if you have it: the page address, what you were trying to do, what happened instead, and the device, browser and any assistive technology you were using. Any part of that helps; none of it is required.

What happens next: we acknowledge every accessibility report within 2 business days, tell you what we found, and tell you when the fix will land or why it will take longer. If the fix isn’t quick, we will give you the information or complete the task another way in the meantime — by phone, by email, or in person.

If We Don’t Get It Right

If our response doesn’t resolve it, ask for the matter to be escalated to the business owner and say so in writing to office@redbarnjunk.com, or by post to 127 S 5th St, Quakertown, PA 18951. We will respond in writing.

You also have the right to raise a web accessibility complaint with the US Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division (ada.gov), and to seek advice from a disability rights organisation. Contacting us first is not a condition of doing either.

Technical Notes

• Standard applied: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.
• Conformance status: partially conformant — see above.
• Technologies this site relies on: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and WAI-ARIA. The site depends on JavaScript for some interactive components, such as menus and expanding sections. Core content — services, prices, service areas, hours, address and phone number — is present in the page markup.
• Assessment method: internal review during build, using automated contrast and markup checks alongside manual keyboard and screen reader testing. No independent third-party audit has been carried out.
• Compatibility: the site is built to work with current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge on desktop and mobile, together with the screen readers commonly paired with them. Very old browsers may render parts of it imperfectly.
• Scope: this statement covers redbarnjunk.com. It does not cover third-party platforms we appear on — Google, Yelp and similar — which are governed by their own accessibility policies.

Review

This statement was prepared on 29 July 2026 and reflects the site as built on that date. We review it at least once a year and whenever a significant part of the site is rebuilt.

Build Notes

Compliance checks passed on this page

• No “insured,” “fully insured,” “Licensed & Insured,” “bonded,” “certified” or “approved” — anywhere, including the accessibility-conformance language. This page deliberately says “partially conformant” and “no third-party audit,” which is the honest position and also the defensible one: overstating conformance on an accessibility page is the exact claim ADA demand letters quote back at you.
• No price ceiling. The price language is the §4 process promise verbatim — firm price approved at the property before loading, nothing added after.
• No arrival time promised — window only, plus the late call (§6).
• The automated phone assistant is disclosed twice, and the page never says a local person answers the phone.
• No testimonials, no client names, no invented crew members, no named accessibility officer (the crew is never named, per §17).
• Phone appears only as (215) 607-8804 in text and tel:+12156078804 in links. Address appears only as 127 S 5th St, Quakertown, PA 18951.
• PA Contractor #PA112494 appears once, in the page’s closing line, satisfying the HICPA display rule independently of the site footer.
• No claim of DOJ, ADA or WCAG certification — none exists to claim.
• No accessibility overlay endorsed. Stated explicitly, because overlays are themselves now a litigation trigger.

Structural notes

• H1 is “Accessibility Statement,” not service + city. Deliberate exception to the §9 heading rule: legal and trust pages are matched on their own name, and a keyword-stuffed H1 here would read as SEO on a page whose only job is credibility.
• Word count ~1,250. Long for a legal page, and intentionally so — the “You Don’t Need This Website to Hire Us” and “Accessibility on the Job Itself” sections are the two that convert, and they are the two most accessibility statements don’t have.
• Schema: WebPage with name, description and dateModified. No FAQPage — this page’s questions are not search demand and marking them up would dilute the FAQ schema on the pages that need it.
• Link this page from the footer as Accessibility Statement (already wired in the footer widget at /accessibility/), and cross-link it from /contact/ and from the quote form’s helper text: “Can’t use this form? Call (215) 607-8804 or see our accessibility statement.”
• The stated commitments are now live promises. Two of them need an owner behind them before this page publishes: the 2-business-day acknowledgement, and the escalation route to the owner.

Open items to confirm before publishing

#	Item	Why it blocks
A1	Confirm the 2 business days acknowledgement window is deliverable, or change the number.	A published response SLA that is missed is worse than a slower one that is met.
A2	Confirm office@redbarnjunk.com is monitored, and name internally (not publicly) who owns accessibility reports.	Same person should own this and the §6 damage protocol — currently [TBD-20].
A3	Confirm Mon–Sat crew days before publishing.	Carried over from the brand book’s completed-not-stated hours assumption; this page states it as fact in two places.
A4	Decide whether the map embed ships. If it does, keep the plain-text address and service-area list beside it, as this page promises.	The page commits to a text equivalent for embedded content.
A5	Re-verify the “no auto-playing audio or video” and “nothing flashes” claims against the final homepage build.	True of every widget built to date; needs to stay true after launch.
