The Absolute Guide to Parking Lot Re-Striping

Far more goes into parking lot maintenance than just making sure that the surface is smooth. Parking lot re-striping helps to keep the markings on pavement fresh and visible, so that no one has a question about where they should park. While it might be tempting to go over the old stripes with whatever paint you have available, you’ll want to know that this is a time to call for professional services. Line marking in Las Vegas requires a professional’s touch to make sure that you comply with the local laws and achieve long-lasting results.

What Are the Benefits of Planning for Parking Lot Re-Striping?

Asphalt striping instantly improves the aesthetics of your property, and you’ll find that more people want to visit your business when they can follow clearly marked lines. Improving the appearance is only cracking the surface of what newly painted lines can do.

Making parking spaces, crosswalks and no-parking zones clear helps to reduce the chances of serious pedestrian and vehicle accidents. Striping in Las Vegas is also important for making sure that you comply with ADA regulations, such as by making sure that there are designated spaces for people who need wheelchair access. Between preventing accidents and staying in compliance with the law, you can save money by not having to worry about lawsuits and fines.

What Causes Parking Lot Markings to Deteriorate?

Parking lots are exposed to heavy wear and tear from vehicular traffic, which slowly erodes the asphalt striping. The paint used to make the markings is also susceptible to fading and chipping away as it is exposed to constant sunlight along with precipitation.

When Is the Best Time to Plan for Parking Lot Re-Striping?

Most parking lots need the pavement marking redone every one to two years. Keep in mind that this only represents an average timeline. If your parking lot receives heavy traffic or sits in harsh direct sunlight, then this might be a maintenance need to do sooner.

When scheduling for this service, you can also work with your contractor to pick a time when asphalt re-striping will be less likely to disrupt your business operations. For example, you might choose to re-stripe on a weekend or during a time when your event space isn’t open for business.
