Every property has different needs.

Re-Striping

For faded or worn lines that need a refreshed look.

Re-striping is one of the simplest ways to immediately improve a property’s appearance.

3️⃣ STEP 3: Preparation & Materials

Proper prep ensures sharp, long-lasting paint lines.

Our process includes:

• Cleaning debris

• Removing dirt, sand, and loose material

• Blowing off asphalt surfaces

• Marking layout lines

• Applying commercial-grade striping paint

Paint Types We Use:

• High-durability traffic paint

• Reflective glass bead add-ons (optional)

• Thermoplastic striping (Available on request)

All materials are chosen for longevity in humid, coastal climates.

4️⃣ STEP 4: ADA Compliance (Critical for Businesses)

ADA laws require specific dimensions and markings for accessible parking.

We ensure every project meets federal, state, and local requirements, including:

• Proper stall widths

• Correct crosshatching

• Van-accessible markings

• Route-to-entry compliance

• Proper signage

Failure to comply can lead to fines — we help property owners avoid those issues.

5️⃣ STEP 5: Traffic Flow Planning

Well-designed striping creates safe, predictable movement.

We help businesses plan:

• Entrance and exit routes

• Flow lanes

• Pedestrian walkways

• Fire access lanes

• Loading areas

• Delivery zones

Good striping reduces congestion and improves safety for customers and employees.
