"How To Virtually Guarantee Professional Parking Lot Striping And Pavement Marking That Will Last!"
Are you looking for new parking lot striping, re-striping or need additional pavement marking like directional arrows, stenciling, curb painting, speed bump painting, fire lane marking or additional handicap spacing?
We've been in the parking lot installation and maintenance business for over 15 years and during that time, we've hired numerous parking lot striping contractors to stripe parking lots after completing new installations or re-striping after a fresh coat of sealer was applied, and we learned the hard way... not all parking lot striping companies are equal!
To get into the line striping business is really pretty easy. Buy a line striping machine, some line marking paint, set up a website and you're in business.
Now, that's not meant to demean the good, honest striping and pavement marking contractors out there... not at all. There are some very honest, hard working folks in the striping business who have invested a lot of time into continuing education, classes and experience. But because it is so simple to get into the parking lot striping business, there are many striping contractors that start up with little or no experience, little training, little or no operating capital and within months or even just weeks, they're out of business! They're here today and gone tomorrow leaving many property owners with poor work and non existent warranties!
The truth is, parking lot striping contractors must be familiar with current fire code and ADA compliance specifications whether it's a new striping layout or re-striping an existing layout. All it takes is one visit from fire code inspectors, a complaint by a handicapped person or an ADA inspector, and you could be facing hundreds of dollars in fines!
Many property owners, managers, HOA's and retail businesses hire striping or marking contractors based on price and a perception that they're a quality compnay, but forget or neglect to consider experience, expertise and quality!
What good is a cheap striping job if it lasts just a few months when a quality striping job can last up to 2 to 3 years?
What good does a cheap striping job do if your parking lot line striping is not within code and you end up
paying large fines from hiring an inexperienced striping contractor just because of their low price?
Worse... what good is a cheap parking lot striping or pavement marking job if the contractor just rips you
off with a job that lasts just a few months?
Watering down and diluting the paint to get more coverage with less material to increase their profits!
Diluting solvent based paint with gasoline and thinners to get more coverage with less material to increase their profits!
Some contractors will dilute the paint against manufacturers specifications AND apply it so thin that not only does it not last, but it flakes and chips off within a matter of months or even weeks!
This HOA had a striping contractor re-stripe all of the parking stalls, re-paint the hashing areas and re-paint the handicap spaces.
The picture of this parking stall was taken
approximately 1 week after being painted.
Here's the same line only 4 months later!
In some areas you can hardly tell the lines were even re-striped! Not only was the paint watered down but the paint wasn't applied thick enough or heavy enough to even last!
Now all striping will fade and even sometimes flake and chip off depending on the quality of the application beneath it and the amount of traffic on the parking lot, but quality line striping by a professional striper should not look like this only after 4 months!
Handicap space re-painted.
Here's the same emblem only 4 months later!
We've seen poor parking lot striping time after time after time! Can you imagine paying hundreds or even several
hundred dollars to have your new parking lot striped or an esisting parking lot re-striped only to wind up with
it flaking, chipping or fading within a few months or even weeks?
We receive hundreds of questions and numerous complaints from property owners from all over the country asking
us about unethical striping contractors and which ones to avoid!
Unfortunately, the same problems can occur with inexperienced striping contractors. While they may have good intentions, a poorly striped parking lot can be an eyesore for months or even years down the road. Lines that are curvy, banana lines, over spray, chipping and fading paint... there's no simple way to fix these problems without grinding, sandblasting, pressure washing, re-sealing the parking lot and re-striping, or simply re-striping the lines wider to cover those mistakes.
Putting too much trust in an inexperienced contractor is just not worth it! Worse, making the mistake of hiring a striping contractor that ends up just ripping us off!
So just how does someone choose a parking lot striping contractor and be certain they have adequate experience? How does someone choose a parking lot striping or pavement marking contractor and be certain they're not going to mislead us? How can someone be sure that the striping contractor they want to hire hasn't ripped off other commercial property owners in the past? Is the contractor insured and is it in force at the time the work is being performed? How much does good, quality parking lot striping services cost?
These are all questions that most of us ask, but really have no way of knowing or verifying! To do such extensive background verification can require days of research, time and money. Unfortunately, with little or no knowledge of parking lot striping and pavement marking servcies, there's just no guarantee that the job will turn out right if you don't know what you're looking for
