Striping and line painting - commercial
Parking Lot Striping
Most of a parking lot's striping is about traffic flow and getting one more row of cars in. The accessible stalls are different: they have defined dimensions, a marked access aisle beside them, and signage, and when they fade past legibility that's a compliance problem. It's also the least expensive fix on any property manager's list to fix.
Booking now. Sealer needs warm pavement to cure, so the season closes well before the year does.
Layout first, then paint
Repainting existing lines is the easy half. The half that matters is whether those lines were right in the first place, and on a lot that's been restriped three or four times by different crews, they usually have drifted. Stalls narrow by an inch each time somebody paints beside the old line rather than over it, drive aisles shrink, and eventually a delivery truck can't make the turn. We measure before we paint. Sometimes that means telling you the layout you have fits fewer cars than the layout you could have, which is a conversation worth having before the paint goes down rather than after.

Striping done at the same visit as sealcoating costs less than striping done on its own, because the trip is already paid for and the surface is already right. If both are due, do both.
How the Work Goes
Planned with you before the first stripe goes down.
Measure what's there
Stall widths, aisle widths, the accessible stalls and their aisles. This is where drift shows up, and it's a five-minute job that avoids repainting a layout that has quietly stopped working.
Clean the surface
Blown down. Paint over grit is paint that comes up with the grit, usually the first time a plow goes over it.
Lay out and chalk
Anything other than a straight restripe gets set out and chalked first, so you can look at it before it's permanent.
Paint
Traffic paint at the right film thickness. Thin paint looks the same on the day and is gone in a season, which is the striping equivalent of a thin seal.
Open it back up
Traffic paint is dry to walk on in under an hour. How long before cars go back on it depends on the paint and the weather that afternoon, so you get the real number on the day.
Where We Do This
Commercial striping across northwestern Wisconsin. Property managers with several sites can have them done on one trip.
