Paint is how a parking lot speaks.
Parking lot striping across Seattle and King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties: new layouts on fresh pavement and re-stripes over faded paint. Lines are the instructions a lot gives its drivers. When they fade to gray, the lot stops working. Estimates are free, with early starts before your doors open.

When does a lot need striping?
A lot needs striping when the layout stops doing its job: stalls faded to gray, drivers guessing, accessible spaces and fire lanes that no longer read at inspection distance. Fresh pavement needs its first layout, and a sealed or overlaid lot needs its layout put back. Around Puget Sound, rain and tire wear fade paint faster than most owners expect.
Applies to
- Retail lots
- Offices
- Multifamily
- Fleet yards
Stalls faded to gray, with drivers guessing at the layout
A fresh overlay or seal coat with no layout on it yet
Accessible stalls, aisles, and fire lanes that have to hold up to inspection
A layout that fights how the lot actually flows
How does a parking lot layout go down?
Striping is measured work. The paint is the visible part. The layout underneath it is the job.
The layout
Stalls, access aisles, accessible spaces, fire lanes, crosswalks, and arrows are measured out to fit how the lot actually moves: count, flow, and compliance planned before any paint.
The lines
Traffic paint goes down by machine on clean, dry pavement: crisp edges, uniform width, colours where regulation calls for them.
Phases, not closures
Work runs in sections so part of the lot stays open, and we start as early as 6 AM so the paint is down before your doors open.
What drives the cost of parking lot striping?
Striping is priced by the layout, and the estimate is free. The number follows the stall count and the linear feet of line, the stencil work involved (accessible symbols, arrows, fire-lane lettering, curbs), and whether the job is a re-stripe over the existing layout or a new layout measured from a clean surface.

- The stall count and total line footage are the base of the price. A re-stripe over existing lines runs faster than laying out new.
- Stencils and detail
- Accessible spaces, arrows, crosswalks, lettering, and curb marking are measured, hand-finished work on top of the lines.
- Layout changes
- Reworking flow, adding stalls, or bringing accessible spaces up to current requirements adds layout time before paint.
How long does striping take, and when can it happen?
Most lots stripe in a few hours to a day on dry pavement, and the paint dries to take wheels quickly, so phased work keeps part of the lot open the whole time. We start as early as 6 AM so lines are down before doors open. Paint wants a dry surface and mild temperatures, so we schedule around the forecast.
Measured layout, minimal disruption.
Striping pairs naturally with our own paving and sealing work, and it shows the same habits: measured layout, clean lines, minimal disruption. That’s twenty-plus years in the trade talking. The photograph above is from our own striping work on a commercial lot.

The questions we answer on the phone all day, written down. If yours isn’t here, call. The line’s open every day, 6 AM to 6 PM.
- How often should parking lot striping be redone?
- Most lots need restriping every one to two years, sooner under heavy traffic. Around Puget Sound, months of rain and tire wear fade markings faster than owners expect, and faded lines mean confused drivers, wasted stalls and avoidable risk. If your lines look gray instead of white, it’s time.
- Can you stripe accessible parking and other required markings?
- Yes. We lay out stalls, access aisles, fire lanes, crosswalks and directional arrows with clear, compliant markings, so your lot works for every visitor and holds up to inspection. If you’re reworking the layout, we’ll help you plan spacing and flow before the first stripe goes down.
- Will striping disrupt my business?
- We keep disruption to a minimum: striping goes fast on dry pavement, we can work in phases so part of your lot stays open, and since we work every day from 6 AM, early starts before your doors open are often the answer.
- Do you stripe new pavement or only restripe existing lots?
- Both. We stripe fresh layouts on newly paved or sealcoated surfaces, often paired with our own paving and sealing work, and we restripe existing lots to sharpen up faded markings or reorganize the flow.
- How is a striping job priced?
- By the layout: the stall count, the total footage of line, and the stencil detail (accessible symbols, arrows, fire-lane lettering, curbs). A re-stripe of the existing layout costs less than measuring a new one, and the estimate, like all of ours, is free.
The work that rides along.
Most jobs pair one service with another: a repair wants a sealcoat after, a fresh overlay wants its lines back. These are the exits we take most often from this page.
Asphalt Sealing
A sealcoat that keeps water and sun out of sound pavement: the cheapest years a surface can buy.
Asphalt Maintenance
Inspection, crack sealing, patching, and seal-coat cycles: the quiet work that keeps small problems small.
Asphalt Paving
New asphalt for driveways, lots, and private roads: graded, based, laid hot, and rolled to a tight finish.
