Parking Garage & Deck Painting in Irving, TX
Durable coatings for concrete parking structures.
Technical
Specifications.
Commercial Painting Contractors Irving provides comprehensive parking garage and deck painting services for commercial office buildings, retail centers, multi-family properties, and municipal parking facilities throughout Irving and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Our parking structure specialists deliver complete coating solutions including concrete deck protection systems, structural element painting, comprehensive traffic marking and safety striping, and corrosion control for reinforcing steel in deteriorating structures. We understand parking garages face extreme environmental exposure—constant vehicular traffic, de-icing salt exposure, moisture intrusion, UV degradation, and thermal cycling—requiring specialized coating systems engineered for these demanding conditions. Serving Irving's parking infrastructure from corporate campus structures to retail parking decks, we provide systematic restoration protecting concrete and steel investments while enhancing safety through proper marking and visibility improvements.

Frequently Asked
Questions.
How do you maintain parking availability during garage coating work?
We implement phased approaches maintaining majority of parking spaces. Work proceeds in sections—typically one level or zone at a time. Concrete coating requires 24-72 hour cure preventing vehicle traffic, so we coordinate construction schedules around your operational requirements. For facilities with minimal excess capacity, we can work nights/weekends when parking demand is low. Most projects maintain 70-80% parking availability throughout construction duration through strategic phasing and scheduling coordination.
What causes concrete deterioration in parking garages?
Primary cause is chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel. In Irving, this comes from de-icing salts tracked in during winter weather events. Chlorides penetrate concrete, reach steel reinforcement, and cause corrosion. Expanding rust exerts pressure fracturing concrete (spalling). Other factors include freeze-thaw damage, improper drainage causing standing water, carbonation reducing concrete alkalinity, and wear from constant traffic. Waterproofing coatings prevent chloride penetration protecting embedded steel and preventing expensive structural repairs.
Can deteriorated concrete decks be restored or must they be replaced?
Most deteriorated decks can be restored cost-effectively. Process includes removing delaminated concrete exposing sound substrate, cleaning and treating corroded reinforcing steel, applying corrosion inhibitors to steel, rebuilding concrete sections with high-strength repair materials, and protecting restored areas with waterproofing systems. Extensive deterioration affecting 30%+ of deck area may justify replacement, but targeted restoration typically provides 15-20 year service life extension at 30-50% of replacement cost.
What coating systems work best for parking garage decks?
Traffic deck coatings must provide waterproofing, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance from tire traffic, and slip resistance for pedestrian safety. Common systems include epoxy systems with urethane topcoats for high durability, polyurea/polyurethane systems for rapid cure and extreme abrasion resistance, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) for cold-weather installation. System selection depends on exposure level, traffic intensity, repair schedule windows, and budget. We specify proven systems from manufacturers like Stonhard, Sika, and Sherwin-Williams High-Performance Flooring.
How do high-reflectance ceiling coatings improve parking garage lighting?
Dark, stained parking garage ceilings absorb light reducing visibility and requiring more fixtures for adequate illumination. High-reflectance coatings (80-85% light reflectance) dramatically improve visible light through reflection—often increasing illumination 30-50% without adding fixtures. This enhances safety and security while reducing energy consumption. Many parking facilities reduce fixture count during renovations or improve lighting to recommended levels without electrical system upgrades. Improved lighting also enhances user perception of safety and cleanliness.
Do you handle traffic marking and ADA-compliant striping?
Yes, comprehensive traffic marking is standard parking garage scope. Services include directional arrows and lane delineation, parking space striping with proper dimensions, ADA handicap spaces meeting size and marking requirements, crosswalks and pedestrian safety markings, loading zones and restricted areas, and wayfinding markers guiding traffic flow. We work from engineered plans when provided or develop marking layouts meeting municipal codes, ADA standards, and best practices for traffic circulation and pedestrian safety.
What safety protocols are required for working in active parking garages?
Parking garage work demands rigorous safety protocols. We establish clearly marked work zones with traffic cones and barriers, implement flaggers directing vehicle and pedestrian traffic around work areas, use fall protection for elevated work or edge conditions, maintain adequate ventilation when using solvent-based coatings in enclosed structures, coordinate with facility security and management, and conduct daily safety briefings for crew members. All personnel wear high-visibility safety vests. Signage warns users of wet paint and coating areas preventing vehicle damage and ensuring user safety.
