Our Parking Lot Striping Process

Parking lot striping machine and crew equipment used for commercial pavement markings

Good striping starts before paint hits the pavement. The lot needs to be measured, traffic needs to be planned, and the surface needs to be ready for paint to bond.

How a Typical Job Moves

  1. Site walkthrough: We check entrances, drive aisles, ADA areas, fire lanes, loading zones, drainage, traffic flow, and closure options.
  2. Measuring and layout: Stall widths, aisles, access aisles, arrows, crosswalks, and stencil locations are measured against the usable pavement.
  3. Chalking: Critical lines are chalked before paint so alignment and spacing problems are found early.
  4. Surface preparation: Loose debris is cleared, wet pavement is avoided, and fresh sealcoat is given time to cure.
  5. Paint application: Lines, arrows, ADA symbols, fire lanes, curbs, and stencils are applied with overspray control.
  6. Drying and curing: Reopening depends on temperature, humidity, shade, airflow, and paint type.
  7. ADA verification: Accessible stalls, access aisles, symbols, and routes are checked against the agreed layout.
  8. Final walkthrough: The job is reviewed before cones are removed and traffic is released.
