Four service lines, one crew, and one standard: if it wouldn't pass an inspection, we don't leave it that way. Every job starts with a free on-site measure.
Restriping is re-marking what's already there: same layout, new paint. It's the fastest and cheapest option, and it's what most lots need. Because the measuring and layout work is already done, restriping typically runs well below the cost of engineering a lot from scratch.
A new layout is the right call when you're paving fresh asphalt, converting a building's use, or when the existing layout is wasting space. We'll lay out stall angles and drive aisle widths to fit the most legal spaces your lot can hold.
New asphalt needs roughly 30 days to cure before it takes paint. If we show up and the surface isn't ready, we'll tell you and come back — striping green asphalt means the lines lift and you pay twice.
In Texas, accessible parking isn't only a federal ADA matter. It's enforced at the state level by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and the requirements sit in two places — which is exactly why property owners get caught out.
The Texas Accessibility Standards cover stall dimensions, access aisles, and the identification sign. Then a separate TDLR rule, 16 TAC §68.104 — effective August 1, 2020 — adds the pavement markings on top:
A sign mounted on a post satisfies neither of those. Plenty of lots have a perfectly good sign and still fail. The rule applies to projects registered with TDLR on or after August 1, 2020, in addition to everything TAS already required.
One accessible space per 25 total spaces for your first 100 spaces, and at least one in every six accessible spaces has to be van-accessible with a wider access aisle. We'll count your lot and tell you where you stand before you commit to anything.
We stripe to the Texas Accessibility Standards, but we're a striping contractor, not a Registered Accessibility Specialist. For a project that legally requires a TAS plan review or inspection, you need an RAS — and we'll say so rather than pretend otherwise.
Fire lane markings exist so emergency apparatus can reach your building. Fire marshals treat them accordingly, and faded fire lanes are one of the most commonly written citations on commercial property in the Houston area.
Houston-area jurisdictions generally require fire lanes marked in red, with "FIRE LANE — NO PARKING" stenciled at regular intervals, and a minimum clear width that's commonly twenty feet. The specific interval, lettering height, and curb treatment are set by your local fire code — so we confirm the requirement with the authority having jurisdiction before we start rather than guessing.
Send us a photo of the notice. Fire lane corrections are usually a few hours of work, and we can typically get out to look at the lot within a couple of days.
The markings that move traffic and protect pedestrians. Directional arrows keep a lot flowing in one direction, crosswalks get people across safely, and stall numbering settles disputes in apartment and office lots.
We also install the hardware: wheel stops to protect walkways and storefronts, speed bumps to slow traffic through a lot, and bollards where vehicles need to be kept away from a building entrance or utility.
No. The Texas Accessibility Standards address the identification sign, but a separate TDLR rule — 16 TAC §68.104, effective August 1, 2020 — requires pavement markings as well: the International Symbol of Accessibility painted conspicuously on the surface in a contrasting color, plus "NO PARKING" in each adjacent access aisle in capitals at least 12″ tall with a minimum 2″ stroke.
A post-mounted sign satisfies neither. The rule applies to projects registered with TDLR on or after August 1, 2020, in addition to the TAS parking requirements.
For the first 100 spaces, the requirement is one accessible space for every 25 total spaces. At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible, which requires a wider access aisle beside the stall. Lots above 100 spaces follow a reduced ratio.
Most Houston-area jurisdictions require fire lanes marked in red with "FIRE LANE — NO PARKING" stenciled at regular intervals, and a minimum clear width commonly set at 20 feet. Markings must stay legible — faded fire lane striping is a frequent source of citations.
Exact intervals and lettering sizes vary by local fire code, so we confirm with the authority having jurisdiction before striping.
Most commercial lots need restriping every 18 to 24 months. Heavy traffic, frequent power washing, and direct sun all shorten that. Fire lanes and accessible stalls are worth checking annually, because those carry compliance consequences once they stop being legible.
Water-based traffic paint is usually dry to the touch in 30 to 60 minutes and ready for traffic within a few hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Gulf Coast humidity slows curing, which is why we schedule the work for whenever your lot is empty and can stay that way for a few hours — overnight for a retail center, a quiet weekday for a church, a weekend for an office park.
Yes, once it's cured. Fresh asphalt typically needs about 30 days for oils to rise and dissipate. Painting sooner causes adhesion failure and the lines lift. If your surface isn't ready, we'll tell you and come back rather than stripe it twice.
It depends on stall count, condition, and what compliance work is involved — which is why we measure on site instead of quoting over the phone. Restriping an existing layout is significantly cheaper than a new one because the layout work is already done.

We'll walk it, check your markings against current code, and put a written quote in your hands within 24 hours. No obligation.
