Parking lot striping refers to the painting lines to indicate spaces and symbols on a parking lot to organize parking, traffic flow, and designated areas.
Your parking lot introduces your customers to your business. Make your first impression a good one by clearly defining the spaces and zones in your lot with parking line striping. Parking line striping makes your lot easier to navigate, maximizes your space, and adheres to local regulations like ADA requirements.
Clear and organized parking lot painting guides drivers by showing entry and exit points, fire lanes, and handicapped spaces. It also optimizes the efficiency of your lot by minimizing traffic and increasing the number of available spaces.
Precise Property Maintenance guarantees that your parking lot markings adhere to local and state fire lane rules and the regulations outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Noncompliance with ADA regulations in Texas may restrict customer access and lead to significant penalties.
Whether it’s building anew or repainting a current lot, we prioritize speed and quality to complete the project according to your timeline.
We’re ready to work during weekends, evenings, or early mornings as needed. If regular business hours are better for your schedule, our team will set up temporary barricades, bollards, and traffic delineators as necessary to limit disruptions.
This depends on conditions like the size and layout of the lot, weather, seal coating, and other factors. We will always try to work as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.
Inclement weather, such as rain, extreme heat, or snow, can delay striping. PPM will work with you to make any adjustments to maintain quality and ensure the job is done correctly.
The paint’s lifespan depends on traffic volume, weather conditions, maintenance, surface material, and whether any preventative maintenance, such as seal coating, was applied. Typically, parking lot striping lasts between 1 and 3 years with proper maintenance.
PPM can give your lot its first stripes or freshen up any fading.
Paint quality can significantly impact the appearance and longevity of your parking lot. Lower-cost options like water-based or rubber paints might be sufficient for smaller or low-traffic parking lots, while oil-based paints can offer higher quality and typically last longer.
PPM uses a high-quality solvent-borne acrylic paint to deliver bold colors with a fast drying time.
Your lot should be clear of any debris before striping can take place. To save you time and to make your project more cost-effective, we start by sweeping and pressure washing your concrete or asphalt parking lot to ensure it is clean and ready for line striping.
When building your project budget, it’s essential to factor in the size of your parking lot, the layout, the condition of the lot surface, and the prices of the materials you want to use.
If you’re in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we can offer your project competitive pricing without sacrificing quality.
We offer surfacing options to fit your needs, from cost-effective and versatile surfaces to long-lasting and low-maintenance materials.
Asphalt is made from mineral aggregate and a petroleum-based binder. It is commonly used for its cost-effectiveness but requires more maintenance than other materials.
Concrete is made from mineral aggregate with a water-activated cement binder and requires less maintenance than other materials. It’s known for its strength and longevity but has a greater upfront cost.
Regularly cleaning your lot of debris is the first step you can take in maintaining your parking lot and will help preserve its appearance and integrity. For long-term maintenance, you should consider professional parking lot maintenance services such as pressure washing, restriping, and sealcoating.
Maintaining your parking lot is the first step in ensuring the safety of your customers and the longevity of your parking lot striping.
PPM offers sealcoating services in addition to parking lot striping to help repair your asphalt parking lot. Once parking lot striping is complete, we can apply a flush seal coat layer to extend the life of your parking lot.
If your parking lot hasn’t received regular maintenance, we can help you restore it to its former glory.
Restriping a lot depends on the material of the lot surface, wear from weather, traffic, and usage. Generally, most parking lots need to be restriped every 1-2 years; however, parking lots that experience high traffic or harsh weather conditions may require more regular maintenance.
If your parking lot has fading paint, surface damage, or unclear markings, it’s time to restripe. We can redefine your parking lines and make sure your commercial parking lot meets regulations.
In some cases, repainting over pre-existing lines can be an effective and economical option, mainly when the original markings are intact and clearly visible. However, we typically advise applying fresh striping for parking areas where the lines are heavily worn, faded, or damaged. This process ensures adherence to safety standards and optimizes parking space usage, fostering a more polished and well-kept atmosphere for customers and staff alike.
