Commercial Parking lot striping refresh
Homeowner’s Issue
Commercial properties in Seattle face a particular set of challenges: persistent Pacific Northwest rain, seasonally soft soils near low-lying areas, and moss or algae that darken asphalt and hide faded markings. In Commercial, heavy foot and vehicle traffic from nearby hubs and parks accelerates wear on paint, while drainage and slope issues—especially on lots that shed water toward gutters or landscaped swales—cause pooling and accelerated deterioration. Sun exposure is limited in winter months, so drying windows are short and re-stripe jobs require careful timing.
HOA or property management rules often require clear, ADA-compliant markings and consistent curb appeal; faded lines hurt perceived maintenance standards and tenant satisfaction. Grease and oil stains from delivery vehicles collect in cracks and along wheel paths, making pressure cleaning essential before striping. Typical local problems we see: blurred stall lines, missing accessible markings, eroded van-access areas, and inconsistent directional arrows that confuse drivers. Addressing these issues with durable, low‑VOC paint and better drainage/edge protection not only improves safety and accessibility but reduces frequency of touch-ups and meets neighborhood expectations from Westcrest Park to Lincoln Park corridors.
Our Quality Service
We refresh parking lot striping for Commercial homeowners and small property managers using sustainable, low‑VOC paints and careful surface prep. We begin with a site inspection to note drainage, slope, and wear patterns, then pressure-clean and remove loose paint or oil residue with eco-friendly cleaners. Paint is applied with striping machines for crisp lines, and we schedule work during optimal dry windows to ensure adherence.
Benefits:
- Improved safety and ADA compliance
- Better curb appeal for tenants and visitors
- Low-maintenance finishes that last through Seattle rains
- Sustainable methods only — no herbicides, low‑VOC materials, and organic cleaning where possible
What’s Included
- Site inspection and scope assessment
- Pressure washing and oil-spot treatment (organic options)
- Old-line removal where necessary
- New striping: stalls, accessible stalls, arrows, crosswalks, and loading zones
- Drying oversight and reopening guidance
Options / upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric for adjacent landscaped areas to reduce runoff staining
- Organic weed control around curbs and islands (no herbicides)
- Sealcoating (asphalt protection) — scheduling dependent on weather
- Parking bumpers or custom signage installation
- Haul-away of debris vs. green‑bin composting for organic waste
Before & After / Expectations
Expect short-term disruption during work: noise from pressure washing, wet paint zones, and temporary lot closures for safety. We’ll cordon off sections and post clear reopen times. Debris is cleaned up and oil spots are treated; heavy stain removal can require additional passes.
Care tips for Commercial yards:
- Sweep high-traffic lanes monthly to prevent grit buildup.
- Rinse oil spots and reapply organic absorbents as needed.
- Address pooling zones (add drain or regrade) to prevent stripe washout.
- Schedule re-stripe every 12–36 months depending on traffic.
FAQs
How long will my lot be closed?
Most standard lots can be done in a day; larger or sealcoat combos may need a weekend. We schedule during dry windows.
Do you use harsh chemicals?
No. We use low‑VOC paints and organic cleaners for surface prep. No herbicides are used on-site.
Will you mark ADA and fire lanes?
Yes — we follow local regulations for accessible stalls, access aisles, and fire lane markings.
How often should I re-stripe?
High-traffic lots: every 12 months. Moderate use: 18–24 months. We recommend inspections after winter.
