What we do
Striping is what turns a slab of asphalt into a working parking lot. We lay out and stripe commercial lots across San Antonio: standard stalls, ADA-accessible spaces and access aisles, fire lanes, loading zones, directional arrows, stop bars, and stencils like handicap symbols and no-parking markings.
A lot that is striped right moves more cars, keeps traffic flowing the way you want it, and keeps you on the right side of the code. ADA striping in particular is not a place to guess. The count of accessible spaces, the access aisle width, and the signage all follow the rules, and a lot that ignores them is a liability. We lay it out to meet the requirements.
We stripe fresh over new paving and seal coats, and we restripe faded lots so the lines actually read again. Faint, worn striping is one of the fastest ways a good property starts to look neglected, and it is one of the cheapest things to fix.
Our process
We start with the layout. On a new or blank lot we plan the stall pattern to fit the space and the traffic flow and to hit the required accessible-space count. On a restripe we usually follow the existing layout unless you want it reworked.
We measure and chalk the lines, then stripe with durable traffic paint, cut in the ADA symbols and other stencils, and lay down arrows and fire-lane markings. We keep the lines straight and the spacing even, because a crooked, uneven lot is the first thing people notice. We keep you off the fresh paint until it dries.
Who striping and signage is for
- New commercial lots that need a first layout
- Faded lots where the lines no longer read
- Retail, office, medical, and church parking lots
- Properties that need ADA spaces brought up to code
- Fire lanes, loading zones, and no-parking markings
- Lots being restriped after seal coating or paving
ADA striping is the part you cannot guess at
Standard stalls are forgiving. Accessible parking is not. The number of ADA spaces a lot needs is tied to how many total spaces it has, the access aisle beside each accessible space has a required width, and the spaces need the right stencils and signage. A lot that is short on accessible spaces, or has aisles that are too narrow, is a compliance problem and a liability, well beyond a paint issue.
We lay out the accessible spaces, aisles, and signage to meet the requirements, because this is the part of a parking lot that actually carries risk if it is wrong. It is also the part a rushed striping crew is most likely to fudge to save time, and it is the first thing that gets flagged.
Layout is the part that gets decided before any paint goes down
Restriping an existing lot to the same layout is the straightforward version. The harder and more valuable conversation happens when a lot is being reconfigured, because the layout decides how many spaces you get, how traffic actually flows, and whether delivery vehicles can turn without running over a curb.
Accessible spaces, their access aisles and the routes connecting them to the entrance are governed rather than optional, and they are the part most often got wrong on a lot that was laid out by whoever had the paint. Getting the layout settled before the first line goes down costs nothing extra. Correcting it afterwards means grinding out lines you already paid for.
Why lines fade faster here
Striping in this climate takes more sun than it does almost anywhere else. A long hot season with high UV fades paint faster, and the surface temperature on dark asphalt in July is far above the air temperature the forecast quotes.
That affects both how long a job lasts and when it can be done. Paint applied to a surface that is too hot, or onto a lot that has not fully cured after new asphalt, does not bond the way it should. We schedule around that rather than against it. If you are having a lot paved and striped, the sequencing between the two matters more here than in a milder climate.

Striping and Signage FAQs
Do you handle ADA and handicap parking striping?
Yes. We lay out ADA-accessible spaces, the access aisles beside them, and the required stencils and signage to meet the accessibility requirements. Getting the accessible-space count and the aisle width right is not optional, and it is exactly the part a lot of lots get wrong.
How often should a parking lot be restriped?
Most lots need a restripe every year or two, sooner for a busy lot where tires and weather wear the lines down fast. Once the lines start to fade the lot looks neglected and cars stop parking where you want them, so it is worth staying ahead of.
Can you stripe a brand-new lot from scratch?
Yes. On a fresh lot we plan the full layout, the stall pattern, drive lanes, accessible spaces, fire lanes, and directional markings, to fit the space and the traffic and to meet code, then stripe it.
Should I seal coat before striping?
If the lot is due for a seal coat, yes, do it first. Seal coating gives you a clean, uniform black surface, and fresh striping over it reads sharp and lasts longer. We can seal coat and stripe in one visit so the lot only closes once.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Traffic paint usually dries to the touch within an hour or so, and we keep the lot closed until it is safe to drive on. On a busy property we plan the work so the closure lands at the lowest-traffic time we can.
