Why should I pay to pressure wash the parking lot before striping?
You wouldn’t paint your house without washing it first, and in order to provide a durable finish and a quality job, we need to start with a clean surface, too. We do this with a 4000-5000 psi pressure washing system that strips away dirt, grime and any loose, peeling old paint, leaving a clean surface for the paint to adhere to.
How often do I need to re-stripe my parking lot?
Every one to two years to keep your lot looking fresh and clean. By having the striping done this often, you are not only presenting a professional image for your business, but you’re laying the groundwork for a durable job that will look better longer. By striping before the paint has the opportunity to start peeling, you’re laying down good paint over good paint, building up a durable stripe.
If your paint has started to peel or fade, then it’s definitely time to re-stripe.
What do I need to do to get ready for striping?
Notify your tenants and / or customers of the day & time that striping is scheduled so that no unattended cars are left in the lot.
Ask them to not park in the areas to be striped.
Ask them to not drive over any freshly painted areas (the paint dries within twenty minutes).
Make sure that landscaping is neat along any curbs that are going to be painted (no overhanging grass or shrubs).
Make sure that there are no obstructions on the lines that are to be painted (mounds of dirt, temporary storage, etc.)
Turn off any sprinkler systems for the duration of the striping project (usually just overnight).
If the parking lot has excessive amounts of dirt or loose gravel, the lot should be swept prior to pressure washing and striping.
Please provide us with the location of a water source that will be accessible during the work. We need this for pressure washing.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
About 15 to 20 minutes.
How much will it cost to re-stripe my lot?
It depends on what you need us to do.
We do our proposals based on linear footage for fire lanes, the white or yellow lines on stalls, and any other lines. We do most of our proposals using aerial photographs and software that allows us to measure your lot using the aerial photographs, although we also visit your site to provide a more accurate estimate
We do have a minimum charge for striping and for pressure washing
Our goal is complete estimates within 48 hours, although we strive to get them out within 24 hours. If we need to visit your property, then it may take a bit longer than that.
Do you stripe lots all over the Wichita and South Central Kansas?
Yes, we do. We work with many communities and companies in Kansas to provide parking lot striping service
Can you stripe my lot and not interrupt my customers/tenants/homeowners?
We schedule work 24/7 in order to work around your schedule. If the only time to ensure that your parking lot is empty is to stripe at 2:00 in the morning, then that’s when we’ll do it. If we need to work weekends, we’ll do that, too. If your business is never shut down, then we’ll do everything we can to work around your customers or tenants.
Can you stripe my lot when it’s cold?
The paint doesn’t flow well when the temperature is too low. In addition, there is too much over-spray when it’s too windy, and of course, paint won’t stick to wet concrete. Dry, warm (or hot) days and nights are the best time to stripe.
Can you provide and install handicap signs?
Yes, we can provide install handicap signs on posts and on buildings. We can also provide and install wheel stops and speed bumps
