Parking Lot Striping
Questions & Answers

ADA requires a specific number of accessible parking spaces based on total lot capacity, proper signage at the correct height, access aisles of the correct width, and the International Symbol of Accessibility painted on the pavement. Both ground markings and upright signs are required. Visit our <a href="/services/ada-compliance-markings">ADA compliance markings</a> page for details.

The required number is based on your total lot capacity. For example, a lot with 1 to 25 spaces needs one accessible space. The ratio increases on a sliding scale as lot size grows. A percentage of accessible spaces must also be van-accessible with wider aisles. We calculate the exact requirement during your free assessment.

Non-compliant parking can result in federal civil penalties, state-level fines, and private lawsuits from individuals who encounter access barriers. The financial exposure can be significant, especially for repeat violations. The cost of bringing your lot into compliance is typically a fraction of what a single violation can cost. We recommend consulting local authorities for specific penalty information.

Yes. ADA compliance requires both ground-level markings and upright signs mounted at the proper height. Signs must include the International Symbol of Accessibility and penalty language for unauthorized use. Ground markings alone do not satisfy ADA requirements. See our <a href="/services/signage-installation">signage installation</a> page for more.

A typical commercial parking lot takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on size and complexity. Smaller lots can be completed in half a day, while larger properties with multiple services may require a full day. We schedule work to minimize disruption — including evenings, weekends, and overnight options.

Yes. We understand that closing your parking lot during business hours is not always practical. We regularly schedule work during evenings, early mornings, weekends, and overnight to minimize disruption to your business operations.

We stripe asphalt, concrete, and sealcoated surfaces. Each surface type requires different preparation and sometimes different paint products. We evaluate your surface condition during the assessment and recommend any prep work needed before striping.

Sweep or blow debris off the surface and remove portable obstacles like dumpsters, cones, or parked vehicles from the areas being striped. If your lot has oil stains, we can address those during prep. We provide specific instructions before your scheduled service date.
