Surface Preparation for Longevity
One of the most important aspects of ensuring long-lasting line striping is proper surface preparation. At Stephenson Contracting, we take the time to thoroughly clean and prepare your parking lot or roadway before applying any paint. This process involves removing any dirt, debris, and oil stains that can prevent the paint from adhering properly. We also inspect the surface for any cracks or damage that may need to be repaired prior to striping, ensuring a smooth and even application.
Proper preparation not only enhances the durability of the striping but also ensures a clean, professional appearance. A well-prepared surface allows the paint to adhere more effectively, reducing the chances of peeling or fading over time. By addressing surface imperfections before starting the striping process, we help extend the lifespan of your parking lot markings and reduce the need for frequent maintenance.
In addition to cleaning the surface, we also measure and mark the layout to ensure precise, uniform lines. Whether you’re adding new spaces or refreshing old ones, our team works carefully to ensure that the striping is applied exactly where it needs to be, creating a functional and visually appealing result.
High-Quality, Durable Paint
At Stephenson Contracting, we use only the highest-quality traffic paints to ensure that your line striping lasts for years. Our paints are specifically designed for outdoor use and are resistant to weather, UV rays, and heavy vehicle traffic. This durability means that your parking lot or roadway will continue to look sharp and professional long after the job is done.
Our paint is quick-drying, allowing for minimal downtime for your business. We understand that you can’t afford to close off large sections of your property for extended periods, so we use fast-drying formulas that allow traffic to resume shortly after the striping is complete. Whether we’re working on a small parking area or a large commercial lot, our goal is to complete the job efficiently without sacrificing quality.
In addition to standard white and yellow lines, we offer a variety of color options for custom markings such as fire lanes, crosswalks, and ADA-compliant spaces. Our team will work with you to determine the best colors and materials for your specific needs, ensuring that your property is clearly marked and compliant with all local regulations.
ADA-Compliant Line Striping
Ensuring that your parking lot is accessible to everyone is not only a legal requirement but also an important aspect of providing excellent customer service. Stephenson Contracting offers ADA-compliant line striping services, ensuring that your property meets all local, state, and federal regulations for accessibility. This includes clearly marked handicap parking spaces, access aisles, and pathways, as well as properly labeled signs and symbols.
ADA-compliant striping is essential for businesses of all sizes, helping to ensure that individuals with disabilities can safely and easily access your property. Our team is well-versed in ADA regulations and will ensure that your parking lot is fully compliant, preventing potential fines or legal issues. We use durable, highly visible paint to mark handicap spaces and other accessible areas, making sure they remain clear and easy to identify.
In addition to meeting regulatory requirements, ADA-compliant striping also demonstrates your commitment to providing an inclusive environment for all customers. Clear, well-maintained markings help individuals with mobility challenges navigate your property safely, improving their overall experience and ensuring that your business is accessible to everyone.
