Why Restriping Matters More Than You Think
Parking lot restriping isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s essential for safety, organization, and compliance. Clear lines improve traffic flow, maximize space, and ensure accessibility. Faded stripes send the wrong message and can lead to confusion or accidents. For businesses in Macon, restriping is a simple way to boost curb appeal and protect your customers.
The Step-by-Step Restriping Process
- Inspection & Planning – Evaluate current layout, ADA compliance, and signage needs.
- Cleaning the Surface – Dirt, oil, and debris are removed for clean paint adhesion.
- Measuring & Marking – Spaces, access aisles, and directional arrows are measured and chalked out.
- Painting – High-quality, traffic-grade paint is applied for visibility and durability.
- Drying & Opening – The lot is reopened once the paint has dried, usually within a few hours.
Timing and Frequency for Best Results
Restripe your lot every 18–24 months, or sooner if lines are faded or barely visible. For high-traffic lots or lots exposed to intense sun or weather, more frequent restriping may be needed.
Understanding ADA Regulations
ADA compliance is mandatory. Accessible parking spaces must include proper striping, signage, and access aisles. Failing to comply can lead to fines and accessibility issues. An experienced striping contractor will ensure your lot meets all federal standards.
How to Prep Your Property for Restriping
- Clear the Lot – Move all vehicles and obstacles before work begins.
- Inform Customers or Tenants – Post signage and notify in advance of any closures.
- Schedule During Off-Hours – Reduce disruption by planning work during evenings or weekends.
