San Jose Striping Service

Step 1: Professional Preparation

We take pride in our thorough approach to ensure the longevity and quality of your parking lot striping. Our first step involves meticulous preparation. Recognizing that the right paint and a clean surface are crucial for a lasting finish, we use specialized asphalt paint—choosing between oil-based and water-based options based on your unique needs. Before starting, our expert team clears away debris and addresses any surface cracks or potholes, creating an ideal canvas for your new stripes.

Step 2: Precision Measurement & Planning

Consistency and accuracy are crucial in parking lot stripes. We carefully measure each space and plan the layout of your parking lot to avoid inconsistencies or crooked lines. Standard parking spaces should measure 18 feet long by 9 feet wide, with clear driving lanes between rows. Using measuring tape, straightedges, and parking lot protractors, we ensure precise angles and placements, including symbols like directional arrows or handicap spaces. Our commitment to compliance with local regulations and accessibility standards ensures optimal results.

Step 3: Professional Line Striping

After completing measurements and planning, we proceed with the actual striping process. Understanding that using the right equipment is crucial for speed and superior results, we employ high-quality line striping machines for large-scale jobs. These machines come equipped with features for various types of paint and striping, guaranteeing clear, precise lines that enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your parking lot.

Step 4: Meticulous Drying & Cleanup

Once the lines are painted, we ensure they have the opportunity to dry and set properly. To safeguard your investment, we use cones and attention ribbon to signal drivers that the area is off-limits until the paint is dry. Drying time may vary based on the paint type and ambient temperature.

We pay close attention to maintaining our equipment. Cleaning our line striping machines after every job ensures they are in top working condition for the next project. Water-based paint requires a thorough water rinse, while oil-based paint necessitates a solvent-based chemical solution. Our commitment to quality extends to our equipment, enabling us to provide consistent, professional striping services.
