Frequently Asked
Questions.
How long does parking lot striping paint last in Irving?
Standard traffic paint typically lasts 1-2 years in high-traffic Irving parking lots before requiring refresh. Premium paint systems can achieve 2-3 years. Thermoplastic markings last 3-8 years depending on traffic volume—ideal for high-wear areas like handicap spaces, crosswalks, and fire lanes where frequent repainting is costly. Lifespan depends on traffic intensity, asphalt condition, weather exposure, and paint quality. We recommend appropriate materials based on your budget and traffic patterns.
Can you re-stripe parking lots while businesses are operating?
Yes, most re-striping occurs during business hours. We work in sections maintaining majority of parking availability, implement traffic cones directing vehicles around wet paint, use fast-dry paints allowing traffic within 30-60 minutes, and coordinate scheduling around peak demand periods. Some high-traffic retail centers prefer after-hours or weekend work—we're flexible accommodating operational requirements. Most standard parking lots are completed in single day minimizing any inconvenience.
Do you handle ADA-compliant handicap space marking?
Absolutely. ADA compliance is critical for avoiding liability. We provide proper space dimensions (standard 8' wide plus 5' access aisle or 11' van-accessible), correct symbol size and placement using approved templates, proper signage coordination with required mounting heights, access aisle hatching preventing unauthorized parking, and compliant curb ramp markings. We stay current on ADA requirements and local code amendments. Many property owners face ADA complaints from improper markings—we ensure compliant installations preventing legal exposure.
Can you design new parking layouts optimizing space capacity?
Yes, we provide parking layout services maximizing capacity while meeting code requirements. Considerations include standard space size (typically 9' x 18'), compact car space allowances, aisle widths for one-way versus two-way traffic, ADA space quantity and placement requirements, drive lanes and circulation patterns, and fire lane and emergency access designation. Optimized layouts often gain 5-15% additional capacity versus inefficient designs. We provide scaled drawings for approval before field execution.
What about fire lane striping and compliance?
Fire lanes require specific marking—typically red curb painting or red pavement striping with 'NO PARKING FIRE LANE' text at prescribed intervals. Requirements vary by municipality and fire marshal jurisdiction. We coordinate with local fire departments verifying compliant marking, ensure proper access width maintenance, designate fire hydrant clearance zones, and provide appropriate signage supporting enforcement. Improper fire lane marking creates code violations and emergency access problems—we ensure compliant installation.
Can faded markings be refreshed without complete removal?
Sometimes. If existing markings are in correct locations and layouts remain unchanged, we can paint over faded lines. However, misaligned or repositioned spaces require complete removal—painting over creates confusing overlapping lines. Thermoplastic markings usually require grinding removal. We assess existing conditions recommending most cost-effective approach whether refresh or complete removal and re-striping. For routine maintenance with good existing layout, painting over dramatically reduces costs.
What's the difference between regular paint and thermoplastic marking?
Regular traffic paint is economical ($0.10-0.20 per linear foot), quick to apply, but lasts only 1-2 years in traffic. Thermoplastic is durable plastic material ($0.60-1.00 per linear foot) applied hot, highly reflective, lasting 3-8 years—excellent for high-wear areas. For complete lot re-striping, paint is typically used. For critical long-lasting markings (handicap symbols, crosswalks, stop bars), thermoplastic provides better value despite higher initial cost through extended service life reducing re-striping frequency.
