Service 03 — Markings

Parking lot striping & pavement markings.

Star is a parking lot striping company that delivers sharp, code-compliant markings: stall layouts that maximize capacity, ADA-accessible spaces with proper access aisles, fire lanes, crosswalks, and directional arrows. In traffic paint or long-life thermoplastic — laid out right the first time, usually overnight.

What our striping service includes

  • New layouts & re-striping — from restoring faded lines to redesigning the stall plan for more capacity or better flow.
  • ADA-accessible stalls & access aisles — correct counts, dimensions, signage placement, and van-accessible spaces, coordinated with curb ramps and detectable warnings.
  • Fire lanes & no-parking zones — marked to local fire code so inspections pass and liability stays low.
  • Arrows, crosswalks & stencils — directional arrows, pedestrian paths, cart corrals, EV stalls, loading zones, and custom stencils.
  • Paint or thermoplastic — fast-dry traffic paint for economy, hot-applied thermoplastic where you need markings that survive plows and heavy traffic for years.

Striping is cheap. bad striping is expensive.

Faded or non-compliant markings are one of the fastest ways a well-maintained property starts generating problems: confused traffic flow, drivers cutting across lanes, fender-benders in the aisles, failed fire inspections, and — most costly of all — ADA complaints over missing or mis-dimensioned accessible stalls. Accessibility rules set specific requirements for how many accessible spaces a lot needs, their dimensions, their signage, and the access aisles beside them, and enforcement usually starts with a demand letter, not a warning.

Fresh striping solves all of it at once. We verify your required accessible-stall count, lay out fire lanes to code, and re-stripe the entire lot — typically overnight or in phases, so retail customers and public facilities never lose access. Striping pairs naturally with sealcoating: seal first, stripe after, and the whole property looks new for a fraction of a resurfacing budget.

Common Questions

Line striping FAQs.

How often should a parking lot be re-striped?
Every 12–24 months for painted lots, depending on traffic, weather, and snow-plow wear. Thermoplastic markings last significantly longer. If lines are visibly faded from the driver's seat, compliance and safety are already slipping — it's time.
How many ADA-accessible spaces does my lot need?
As a baseline, accessibility standards require roughly one accessible space per 25 total stalls, with at least one in six accessible spaces sized and marked as van-accessible with a wider access aisle. We verify the exact count and dimensions for your lot as part of every striping layout.
Paint or thermoplastic — which should we choose?
Traffic paint is economical and fast-drying — right for most stall lines on a regular re-striping cycle. Thermoplastic costs more upfront but lasts years longer, making it the better buy for crosswalks, arrows, fire lanes, and high-traffic drive lanes.
Can you stripe without closing the lot?
Yes — striping is one of the easiest services to phase. We work section by section behind cones, typically overnight or during off-hours, so customers and tenants keep parking while fresh markings cure zone by zone.
