Our Professional Striping Process
Layout Design & Planning
Measure your lot precisely. Calculate optimal layout for maximum capacity while maintaining 24' drive aisles and proper traffic flow. Check ADA requirements, fire codes, and local ordinances. Provide CAD drawing showing new layout with exact space count.
Surface Preparation
Power blow all debris, dirt, and loose material. Remove old flaking paint if necessary. Clean oil spots for better paint adhesion. For restriping, we use black paint to cover old lines that don't match the new layout—ensures clean, professional appearance.
Precision Chalk Layout
Snap chalk lines using laser guidance for perfect straightness. Mark all spaces, drive lanes, and special areas. Client walk-through for approval before painting—this is your chance to request adjustments. Measure twice, paint once philosophy.
Professional Paint Application
Apply Sherwin-Williams Pro-Park paint at proper thickness (15 mils wet). Use airless sprayer for consistent 4" lines. Hand paint around obstacles and edges. Add glass beads for reflectivity if requested. All paint meets federal highway specifications.
Stenciling & Final Details
Apply handicap symbols, arrows, stop text, and custom stenciling. Install required signage for ADA spaces and fire lanes. Barricade painted areas until dry (30-60 minutes). Final inspection and provide maintenance schedule documentation.

Parking Lot Striping FAQs
How often should parking lots be restriped?
In Florida's sun and rain, striping typically lasts 18-24 months. High-traffic areas like drive-thrus and entrances may need annual touch-ups. We recommend restriping when lines are 50% faded—waiting until they're gone makes layout recreation difficult and often results in lost parking spaces.
Can you add more parking spaces to my existing lot?
Often yes! Many older lots have 10' wide spaces (current standard is 9') and 25' drive aisles (24' is adequate). By optimizing layout, we typically increase capacity by 10-15% without compromising safety. Our CAD design shows exactly how many spaces you'll gain.
What happens if I don't meet ADA requirements?
First offense: $75,000 fine. Second offense: $150,000. Plus potential lawsuits from individuals. Beyond fines, you're excluding 20% of potential customers. We ensure full compliance including proper slopes, sign heights, and accessible routes. Free ADA compliance inspection with every quote.
How long does striping take to dry?
Standard water-based paint: 30-45 minutes in good conditions. Fast-dry additives: 10-15 minutes. Thermoplastic: Instant but requires 5-minute cooling. Florida humidity can extend drying—we monitor conditions and only stripe when optimal. Rain within 2 hours ruins fresh paint.
Do you remove old striping or paint over it?
For simple restriping matching existing layout, we paint directly over old lines. When changing layouts, we black out old lines first for clean appearance. Complete removal (grinding or water blasting) is available but rarely necessary and adds significant cost.
Can you stripe newly sealed parking lots?
Yes, but timing is critical. Fresh sealcoat needs 24-48 hours to fully cure before striping. We offer package deals—sealcoating and striping together saves 20% versus separate services. Proper coordination ensures best adhesion and appearance.
