#Get Your Parking Lot Looking Sharp with Professional Marking and Striping


A parking lot is often the first thing people see when they arrive at your business, church, school, or other facility. Having a parking lot that is clearly marked and striped makes a great first impression and shows you care about both aesthetics and safety. Professional **parking lot marking and striping** takes a worn out, faded lot and gives it a fresh new look your customers and visitors will appreciate.


##Why Proper Parking Lot Marking is Critical


Having a clearly delineated parking lot through **marking and striping** is not just about looks. It serves some important practical purposes:


  • Guides traffic flow - Stripes create lanes showing drivers where and how to navigate the lot. This cuts down on haphazard driving and accidents.
  • Maximizes space - Good marking and striping can maximize every inch of available parking space. This prevents wasted space and allows you to accommodate more vehicles.
  • Provides for pedestrians - Crosswalks, directional arrows, and waiting areas painted on your lot provide designated safe spaces for people to walk and stand clear of vehicles.
  • Creates accessible spaces - Marking out proper handicap parking spots complete with access aisles and ramp access provides required accommodations for disabled drivers.
  • Enhances visibility - Painted markings are easier for drivers to see than concrete dividers or curbs, especially at night. Bright paint makes your lot safer.
  • Demonstrates professionalism - A crisp, freshly striped and marked lot projects an image of quality and attention to detail, whereas a faded and poorly marked lot gives an impression of neglect and indifference.


##Our Marking & Striping Process


We use a systematic approach to refresh and beautify your parking lot with new **markings and stripes**. Here is our general process:


Site Evaluation

We'll first assess the current condition of your parking lot markings and layout. This allows us to identify any problem areas, assess traffic flow, and determine the optimal striping design.


Marking Removal

We'll use sandblasting, chemical stripping, or grinding as needed to remove any old, faded pavement markings that are still visible. This provides you with a fresh, clean slate for the new striping and markings.


Repairs & Preparation

Cracks, holes, crumbled pavement or other damage will get repaired at this stage so the surface is ready for fresh paint. The area will be swept and cleaned.


Layout & Design

Working from our site assessment, we'll layout the new striping and marking scheme including parking stall strips, lane dividers, crosswalks, directional arrows, curbs, and any custom lettering or logos. We use professional drafting software to translate measurements into accurate CAD designs.


Painting

The actual striping and marking is done using professional spray equipment to apply long-lasting traffic paint right onto the pavement surface. We use high quality paints designed specifically for asphalt and concrete.


Protective Coating (Optional)

For longevity, we recommend applying a protective sealer or coating over the finished paint markings. This adds an extra layer of protection against UV rays and traffic wear.


Drying Time

It takes about 30 minutes for each painted area to dry enough to allow traffic. We'll either work in sections or block off the lot to allow time for paint to cure undisturbed.


##Long Lasting Results

When done properly by experienced professionals, freshly painted markings and stripes can last upwards of 2-3 years before needing touchup. We use only the most durable traffic and pavement paints, applied at the proper mil thickness. This delivers long lasting visibility and performance.


Over time, traffic, weathering, and UV exposure will inevitably begin to fade and deteriorate the paint. When that starts happening, call us again to refresh those bright markings so your parking lot always looks its best. Investing in regular professional marking and striping pays off through improved aesthetics, better traffic flow, and reduced liability.
