How often should parking lot striping be redone?

Typically every 1-2 years, depending on traffic volume and weather exposure. High-traffic areas may need more frequent restriping.

Do you handle ADA compliance?

Yes, we ensure all handicap spaces, access aisles, and signage meet current ADA requirements and local codes.

Can you create custom parking layouts?

Absolutely! We can design efficient layouts that maximize your parking capacity while ensuring smooth traffic flow.

How often should commercial parking lots be restriped?

Every 1-2 years depending on traffic volume and weather exposure. High-traffic commercial lots typically need restriping annually to maintain visibility and professional appearance. Moderate traffic areas can extend to 18-24 months with quality professional application. Signs it's time to restripe include faded lines that are difficult to see, especially at night, paint wear that exposes underlying pavement, or when lines no longer provide clear guidance for customers and employees.

What are the ADA requirements for handicap parking spaces?

ADA requires specific dimensions, quantities, and access features for handicap parking spaces. Standard handicap spaces must be 8 feet wide with 5-foot access aisles, while van-accessible spaces require 11 feet width with 5-foot aisles. One in every six handicap spaces must be van-accessible. All spaces need proper signage, and access aisles must connect to accessible routes to building entrances. Our professional striping ensures full compliance with current ADA standards.

Can you stripe over existing faded lines?

Yes, when properly prepared and the existing layout meets current standards. We can restripe over faded lines if the layout is ADA compliant and the spacing is correct. The surface is cleaned and prepared before application to ensure proper adhesion. However, if the existing layout doesn't meet current codes or your needs have changed, we recommend a new layout design to optimize your parking capacity and ensure compliance.

What weather conditions are needed for line striping?

Temperatures between 50-95°F with dry conditions and low humidity for optimal results. Paint needs adequate temperature for proper flow and curing, with surface temperatures ideally between 60-90°F. We avoid application during high humidity (over 85%) as it can affect paint adhesion and drying. Light wind actually helps with drying, but strong winds can affect application quality. In East Tennessee, late spring through early fall provides ideal conditions.

How long do I need to keep traffic off newly striped areas?

15-30 minutes for light foot traffic, 1-2 hours for vehicle traffic depending on conditions. Our professional traffic paints are formulated for fast drying to minimize business disruption. Warm, dry conditions with good air circulation speed drying, while cool or humid conditions may extend cure times. We provide traffic management during the cure period and clear guidance on when areas can safely reopen to normal use.
