Striping That Reads Sharp, ADA-Compliant, Lasts
Fresh-asphalt striping, restripes, ADA-compliant stalls, and custom pavement marking across Utah's Wasatch Front and Bear Lake. Done right the first time, in the cure window.
Striping reads your business at a glance
Striping is the first impression your parking lot makes — and it's the most code-sensitive part of an asphalt surface. Sharp lines, correct ADA stall counts and dimensions, and clearly marked traffic flow are the difference between a lot that gets compliments and one that gets complaints (or a fine letter).
We treat striping as a real layout exercise, not a paint job. Every striping project starts with the same questions: what's the stall count, what does ADA require for this lot size, what's the traffic flow, and is there anything custom — fire lanes, EV charging stalls, loading zones, numbered stalls — that needs to go in. The paint is the last 30 minutes of the work.
New-asphalt first striping
Fresh asphalt needs to cure 30 days before its first striping. Painting earlier traps off-gassed oils under the paint and you get adhesion failure within months. After cure, we lay out the master line, mark control points, and stripe to a clean grid.
Full lot restripes
Old paint gets faded by UV, scuffed by snow plows, and chemically beaten by oil and de-icer. Restripes refresh the whole layout — usually paired with a recent sealcoat so you're putting fresh lines on a fresh surface, not on a tired one.
ADA-compliant stalls & signage
Federal ADA and Utah accessibility code require a specific count of accessible stalls based on total lot size, with strict dimensional minimums and van-accessible requirements. We lay out every job against current code — and if your existing lot is non-compliant, we'll flag it and quote bringing it up.
Custom pavement marking
Fire lanes, directional arrows, "STOP" and "ONE WAY" text, no-park hatching, numbered stalls, EV charging icons, loading zones, drive-through lanes. We do any custom marking the property needs.

Every striping job includes all of this
The paint is the easy part. The layout, ADA check, and surface prep are where the value is.
Surface check & cure-window confirmation
Fresh asphalt? Confirm 30-day cure. Fresh sealcoat? Confirm full cure. We don't stripe over surfaces that aren't ready.
Layout plan
Stall count, traffic flow, ADA requirements, directional markings. The plan gets approved before paint goes down.
ADA compliance audit
Current federal + Utah requirements applied. Count, dimensions, access aisles, van-accessible stalls, and required signage all laid out to code.
Surface prep & cleaning
Power broom + blowers to clear the painting surface. Paint won't bond to dust.
Master line & control points
We snap a master line and set control points so every stall and aisle stays parallel and square — not "close enough."
Stall & line paint
Standard 4" stall lines in white or yellow, double-coated where wear matters. Thermoplastic available for high-wear lines on request.
Symbols, arrows & text
ADA handicap symbols (painted + signage), directional arrows, fire-lane text, numbered stalls — anything the layout calls for.
Curb painting & cure barriers
Red/yellow no-parking and fire curbs, plus cones and barriers while the paint cures. Site reopens to traffic on schedule.
Most striping jobs are a half-day or less
Layout, paint, and cure — done in one site visit on the vast majority of jobs.
Free on-site estimate
We measure, count stalls, audit current ADA compliance, and recommend any layout improvements. Written quote in 24–48 hours.
Plan & schedule
Layout approved, weather window confirmed (above 50°F, dry). We schedule around your business hours.
Paint day
Surface prep, master line, control points, paint, symbols, curbs. Foreman walks the layout with you before paint goes down.
Cure & walk-through
Cones/barriers in place during cure, final walk-through with you, written warranty delivered.
Why Utah striping wears faster than you'd think
Utah is harder on parking-lot paint than most of the country. UV at altitude bleaches color fast, snowplow blades scrape the same line a few dozen times every winter, and chloride de-icers chemically attack the binder. A line that lasts five years in mild climates often needs a refresh in 18–24 months here.
That's why we spec for the climate, not the brochure. Standard latex on most stalls, thermoplastic on high-wear runs (fire lanes, drive-through lanes, primary aisle lines), and a recurring restripe schedule for commercial customers who want their lot to keep reading sharp year-round. It costs less to restripe on a 24-month rotation than to repaint a faded-illegible lot under pressure once a year.
Striping questions, answered straight
How much does parking lot striping cost?
Standard stall restripes typically run $5–$10 per stall for water-based latex paint. New layouts, ADA-compliant stalls with signage, custom markings (arrows, fire lanes, numbered stalls), and thermoplastic line work cost more. Lot size and complexity of the layout drive the per-stall price. Free written estimate on every job.
Does my lot have to be ADA compliant?
Yes, almost certainly. Federal ADA and Utah accessibility rules require specific accessible-stall counts based on lot size, with dimensional minimums for the stall, the access aisle, and van-accessible options. We lay out every striping job against current code — we'll flag any existing non-compliance and quote bringing it up.
How often should parking lot striping be redone?
Most lots need a restripe every 18–24 months. Heavy-traffic retail, high-snow areas (plowing wears lines fast), and lines exposed to direct sun all fade quicker. We can spec thermoplastic on high-wear lines to push that out to 4–7 years, though it costs more upfront.
When should new asphalt be striped?
Wait 30 days after new asphalt is laid before applying the first striping. That gives the surface time to off-gas oils that can otherwise mess with paint adhesion. The same logic applies after sealcoating — wait until cure is complete (24–48 hours) before striping over a fresh seal.
What kind of paint do you use?
Commercial-grade water-based latex traffic paint as standard. Thermoplastic is available for high-wear lines, fire lanes, and any markings where 4–7-year durability is worth the higher cost. Solvent-based paint is available on request where conditions require it. We don't use big-box homeowner paint.
Can you stripe after our business closes?
Yes. Most commercial striping happens overnight or on weekends so the lot isn't disrupted during operating hours. Water-based paint dries to touch in 30–60 minutes, so we can hand the lot back to you long before you open the next morning.
Can you do custom markings — arrows, text, EV stalls?
Yes. Directional arrows, "STOP" and "ONE WAY" text, fire-lane painting, no-park hatching, numbered stalls, EV charging icons, loading zones, drive-through lanes. If you can describe the marking, we can lay it out.
