What does a parking lot striping scope of work include?

It covers layout design, surface prep, line painting, ADA markings, stencils, signage, and cleanup. It defines stall count, dimensions, paint type, and payment terms.

How many ADA spaces do I need?

ADA requirements are based on total parking count. For example, a lot with 1-25 spaces needs 1 accessible space. Requirements increase with lot size. Your striping contractor should know the current requirements.

How long does striping paint last?

Traffic paint typically lasts 1-3 years depending on traffic volume and weather. High-traffic lots may need re-striping annually. Thermoplastic markings last longer but cost more.

Can you stripe over old markings?

Yes, if the layout isn't changing. If the layout is changing, old markings should be removed or blacked out first to avoid confusion.

Can I modify this template?

Yes. Adjust for your project — new lot layout, re-striping, ADA updates, or warehouse floor marking.
