Burien Parking lot striping refresh
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien properties face frequent wet weather, moss-prone surfaces, and shaded areas that make paint fade faster and lines hard to see. Older lots on slopes or with clayey, compacted soil can collect runoff and oil stains, making striping less durable and creating slip or sightline issues for tenants and visitors. Landlords and homeowners often want clear, low-maintenance markings that hold up through rainy seasons and occasional snow, while keeping cleanup and chemicals to a minimum.
Near Seahurst Park and the Highline area, heavy leaf fall and salt-free winter maintenance are common, so paint choice and surface prep matter more than in dryer locations. Our approach focuses on sustainable, low‑VOC paints, careful cleaning to remove oils and moss, and attention to drainage lines so paint bonds longer. The goal is safer access, reduced parking disputes, and fewer re-stripes each year — all without herbicides or harsh chemicals.
Our Quality Service
We start with a site inspection, checking slope, drainage, and surface contaminants typical of our local microclimates. Work includes pressure-rinsing, sweeping, and targeted spot repairs where needed. We use water‑based, low‑VOC paints and reclaim wash water when possible to limit runoff.
Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, and longer-lasting results that reduce repeat visits and maintenance costs.
What’s Included
- Surface cleaning (sweep + pressure rinse)
- Old line removal or grinding (if required)

- Drying time and final quality check
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for island beds

Before & After / Expectations
Expect clearer sightlines and a quicker turnover of parking spots after a single visit. New paint cures faster on dry days; we schedule around weather and local tides of wet spells.
Care tips:
