Parking Lot Striping in Montgomery, AL

Parking lot striping is the layer that tells drivers where to park and where to go. Stall lines, accessible spaces, arrows, stop bars, crosswalks and fire lanes all fade under Alabama sun and wear away in busy lanes. Faded lines lead to crooked parking, lost spaces and confusion at entrances.

Restripe or new layout

Restriping repaints the current layout. A new layout redraws the lot, after an overlay, a change in use or to fit more spaces. HomeGuide notes new layouts cost 20 to 50 percent more than restriping.

Accessible spaces

The 2010 ADA Standards set how many accessible spaces a lot needs, how wide they and their aisles are, how many must be van-accessible and where they sit relative to the entrance. Restriping is expected to meet current standards. We lay out accessible spaces to those dimensions and point out signs or slopes that need attention.

What we paint

• Standard and compact stalls
• Accessible stalls, aisles and symbols
• Arrows, stop bars and crosswalks
• Fire lanes and loading zones
• Curb paint and stenciled words

Scheduling

Paint needs a dry surface. We stripe in sections and at off-hours so you stay open, and after sealing once the sealer dries.

Layout basics

Standard stalls are commonly about 9 by 18 feet, with aisle widths set by the parking angle. We chalk the layout before painting.

Fire lanes and curbs

Fire lanes, loading zones and painted curbs tell drivers where not to stop. Faded red or yellow curb paint gets ignored, so we repaint those along with stall lines.

Visibility

Lines that are hard to see at dusk or in rain are the first ones drivers ignore. Fresh paint keeps traffic orderly and spaces used efficiently.

Paint durability

In central Alabama sun, paint fades steadily, and lines in drive lanes and entrances wear fastest under turning tires. Restriping on a schedule, usually with each seal coat, keeps the lot readable year-round.
