Most commercial lots need restriping every one to three years. Traffic volume is the main factor, but so is sun exposure, since UV fades paint faster on unshaded southern-facing lots, and so is snow and sand clearing where it applies. Fire lanes and accessible stalls are worth watching more closely than general stall lines, because those are the markings an inspector looks at and faded ones can fail a check even when the rest of the lot still reads clearly.

Yes. Accessible stalls, access aisles, van-accessible spaces and the accessible route are laid out to ADA dimensions, and the required stall count is calculated from the total space count on the lot rather than carried over from the previous layout. We also check aisle widths and flag surface slopes that fall outside tolerance, since a correctly painted stall on a surface that slopes too steeply still does not comply. Where accessible stalls need signage, signage is installed as part of the same job.

Traffic paint is typically walkable within an hour and open to vehicles the same day, though heat, humidity and the material used all change the timeline. Thermoplastic sets much faster. We cone off marked areas and stage the reopening so a lot can come back in sections rather than staying closed while the whole surface cures, and the reopening schedule is confirmed before crews leave the site.

Yes, and it is a large share of the striping work we do. On a lot we did not build, layout starts with measuring what is there and checking it against current code rather than assuming the existing plan was compliant when it was painted. If the surface itself is too worn or oxidized to hold paint properly, we will say so before quoting, since striping a failing surface wastes the money spent on it.

Yes, and that sequence is usually the right one. Fresh sealer needs to cure before paint goes down, and striping over a cured seal coat gives the sharpest contrast a lot will have. Because seal coating and striping are both handled in-house, both stages get scheduled together so the property only closes once instead of coordinating two contractors around one lot.

Fire lanes, loading zones, directional arrows, crosswalks, stop bars, numbered stalls, curb painting and custom stencils, plus roadway markings and airfield layouts. Anything that needs marking on a paved surface, including work that follows a published standard rather than a parking lot convention.
