Parking lot painting isn’t simply about applying a few markings to your asphalt surface. At Pacific Striping, serving clients throughout Oahu, HI, they believe it’s important to prepare for this task thoroughly. Maximizing the amount of parking you have available is essential if you plan on growing your business to its full potential.

5 Steps to Take When Preparing for Parking Lot Painting

1. Walk Through

Before the striping team gets to work, arrange a time to walk your lot with them. Bring along your proposed layout so they can see what you have planned. Because they have more experience in this line of work, they may identify ways to add extra spaces to your lot that you hadn’t considered.

2. Determine Sign Placement

If you have a relatively large parking lot, you may need to install signs indicating speed limits, speed bumps, designated parking areas, and other necessary information. Know where those signs will go before you stripe your lot.

3. Choose Access Points

Plenty of businesses fail because their parking lots don’t offer guests easy access or exit points. Take the time to decide on your best options, and design your layout so that the entrances and exits are clearly identifiable.

4. Check Local Codes

Depending on the size of your lot and the nature of your business, you’ll probably be required to maintain a certain number of spots for handicapped visitors. Check your local codes to ensure you’re up to speed on the law before adding stripes to your lot.

5. Prepare Employees

If you’re re-striping the lot of an existing business, make sure all of your employees know when the work is to be done so they can make arrangements to park elsewhere.
