After you’ve laid a fresh parking lot at your business, you need to finish the lot with parking lot striping. Quick, well-designed striping is essential to open the space back up to customers and get your business flowing again. Here are a few of the most common questions about the striping process and what you can expect.

Basic Guide to Parking Lot Striping

How long does it take?

This depends on the size of your parking lot. A simple row of spaces might take under an hour to lay out, measure, and paint, while a large lot might be completed over the course of several days. Talk to your provider about what to expect in your case.

Who designs the lot?

They will work to your specifications and create a design which meets your company’s specific needs.

What legal requirements apply to parking lot design?

Depending on the size of your lot, you likely need to supply one or more handicap spaces with minimum width and length requirements and an accessible aisle and route to the building. Your asphalt company will help you place these spaces and ensure the slope, parking lot paving material, and signage requirements are met.

How long does parking lot striping last?

The rule of thumb for repainting your lot is that it should be done yearly. However, this depends heavily on how much the lot is used, so keep an eye on your paint and schedule repainting when it becomes unattractive or difficult to see.
