Why Plano Businesses Choose Our Parking Lot Striping Company

ADA and TAS Compliance, Handled in Writing

In Plano, your parking lot answers to the federal ADA and the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS). Every layout we paint gets the correct accessible stall count for your lot size, van-accessible spaces where required, access aisles, signage, and a slope check, all documented in your written scope. And if your project crosses $50,000, we flag the required TDLR accessibility review before it becomes your problem.

Striped Overnight or in Phases, So You Never Have To Close

To make things easy, we stripe when your parking lot is empty: overnight for retail and restaurants, weekends for offices, Monday through Saturday for churches. Bigger lots get split into sections so part of your parking stays open at every stage. Traffic paint in our warm, dry climate is drivable within an hour or two, which means a lot striped at midnight is fully open for the morning rush.

A 22-Year Plano Paving Company Behind Every Line

Striping attracts one-truck operators who paint once and disappear, and since Texas doesn't license paving or striping contractors, nobody's checking their work. We're the crew behind Plano Paving Co, a local, family-owned company that's paved and maintained Collin County lots for 22 years. You get certificates of insurance before we start, a written scope your approval chain can review, and references close enough to drive past, from retail off Preston Road to church campuses in East Plano. And because we also pave, sealcoat, and repair lots, your lines never go down over pavement that's about to fail.

What We Stripe

Parking Lot Striping & Pavement Marking Services

We cover every line, symbol, and sign a Plano parking lot needs, on asphalt or concrete, and parking garages.

Restriping Faded Parking Lot Lines

This is our most common call in Plano. Our sun bleaches traffic paint the same way it grays out asphalt, so lines that looked sharp two summers ago are faded by the third. We blow the surface clean and repaint your existing layout with fresh traffic-grade paint, usually in a single visit, scheduled overnight or on a weekend so nobody loses a parking spot during business hours.

New Parking Lot Layouts & Layout Redesigns

For new pavement, freshly sealcoated lots, or lots that just park badly, we can design the layout from scratch: stall sizes and angles, aisle widths, accessible space placement, and traffic flow, all measured and chalked before paint. A lot of Plano retail was striped in the '80s and '90s to standards nobody uses anymore. When we do a smart redesign, we can regularly fit 5-10% more stalls in the same square footage.

ADA & TAS Accessible Parking Spaces

We paint accessible stalls to both the federal ADA and the Texas Accessibility Standards: correct counts for your lot size, van-accessible spaces, striped access aisles, pavement symbols, and signs at the right height. We also check the slope because accessible stalls need to be nearly flat, no more than a 2% grade in any direction, since on a steeper surface a wheelchair can roll away on its own. Full details in our ADA and TAS guide.

Fire Lane Striping to City of Plano Code

The City of Plano requires designated fire lanes marked in red with white "FIRE LANE — NO PARKING" lettering; the fire marshal looks at them on routine inspections. We stripe and letter fire lanes to current city requirements, repaint faded curbs, and mark tow-away zones, whether it's part of a full restripe or a standalone fix after an inspection note.

Road Striping for HOA & Private Streets

We handle road striping for HOA and private streets across Plano: gated communities like Avignon Windhaven, townhome and condo streets, campus roads, and guest parking. We paint centerlines, edge lines, crosswalks, stop bars, and speed bump markings with the same machine striping we use on commercial lots. Pairs well with our HOA street paving and resurfacing work, or as a standalone refresh.

Parking Sign Installation

Accessible stalls need vertical signs, van stalls need "Van Accessible" signs on top of that, and fire lanes and tow zones need their own posted signage. We install ADA-compliant signs, stop signs, no-parking, reserved, and directional signage on posts at the required heights, in the same visit as your lines.

Wheel Stops, Speed Bumps & Bollards

We install and paint lot hardware in the same visit as your lines, so you're not coordinating two contractors. That covers concrete and rubber wheel stops that keep bumpers off sidewalks and storefronts, speed bumps striped yellow so drivers see them, and bollards that protect entrances, drive-thrus, and utility equipment.

Stencils, Arrows, Crosswalks & Custom Markings

We paint every marking a busy lot needs: directional arrows, stop bars, crosswalks, cart corral boxes, "VISITOR" and "RESERVED" lettering, curbside pickup stalls, speed limit stencils, and custom logo stencils for branded properties. Clear markings are cheap insurance, since they cut fender-benders and keep delivery trucks moving the direction you intended.

EV Charging Space Markings

EV chargers are showing up fast in Plano, from Legacy West garages to church and office lots adding a row of stations. We stripe and stencil EV charging bays with the green markings and lettering drivers recognize, so charging stalls stay available for the cars that need them instead of becoming general parking.

Parking Lot Line Removal & Layout Changes

Changing a layout means the old lines have to actually go away, or drivers follow both sets. Depending on the surface, we remove old markings by grinding or blackout, and on asphalt the cleanest reset is often a sealcoat that erases everything at once and gives your new layout a fresh black canvas. We'll recommend the cheapest option that leaves no ghost layout behind.

Warehouse & Industrial Floor Markings

We also stripe interior floors for the warehouses and flex spaces along Plano Parkway, K Avenue, and 14th Street: aisle lines, forklift lanes, pedestrian walkways, staging boxes, and dock markings, all painted with the same machine precision as our lot work. Indoor jobs come with one nice perk, since there's no weather to schedule around.

Church, School & Medical Campus Striping

Plano is a campus town, and each campus has its own accessible-parking math and calendar. Our church clients get weekday visits so everything is crisp before Sunday, private schools get breaks and weekends, and clinics around the Medical District on 15th Street get scheduling that avoids busy patient hours. Pairs with our campus paving and maintenance work.

Parking Lot Striping After Sealcoating or Paving

Fresh sealcoat and new asphalt erase every line on a lot, so striping is always the last step of both jobs. Most of our commercial clients bundle a restripe with each sealcoat every 2 to 3 years, since it prices better than booking each job separately and keeps the whole lot on one maintenance schedule. As a bonus, new lines on deep black pavement last noticeably longer than paint over gray, oxidized asphalt.

Know What You're Looking At

Signs Your Parking Lot Needs Restriping

Here's what we look for on a site walk, and what you can spot from your office window before you ever search "parking lot striping near me."

👻

Your Parking Lot Lines Have Faded to Ghost Lines

Plano gets a 100+ days of intense sun a year, and UV bleaches traffic paint. When stall lines are hard to see at noon and invisible at night or in the rain, drivers park by guesswork: cars straddle two spaces, your lot loses capacity, and the whole property reflects poorly to tenants and customers.

♿

ADA Parking Spaces Are Faded, Undersized, or Missing

A washed-out wheelchair symbol, a missing van-accessible stall, or an access aisle that's too narrow are common leftovers in lots striped years ago under older standards. In Texas, accessibility problems are enforced through private lawsuits, and settlements routinely cost five figures over paint gaps that cost a few hundred dollars to fix.

🚒

Fire Lane Striping Is Faded or Illegible

If the red striping and white lettering on your fire lane can't be read clearly, the Plano fire marshal can flag it on inspection, which means a written violation and a deadline to repaint before re-inspection. Repaints are quick, inexpensive, and one of the most common standalone calls we get from property managers.

🛣

You Just Sealcoated, Resurfaced, or Paved the Lot

New asphalt and fresh sealcoat both erase every marking, so striping is always the final step. It's also the one moment a layout change costs nothing extra: the old lines are already gone, so if your lot has always parked badly, this is when we fix the layout and potentially get you 5-10% more stalls in the same space.

📐

The Parking Lot Layout Is Changing

Maybe a new tenant is splitting off their own parking, a drive-thru lane is going in, a patio is taking out a row, or you're adding a curbside pickup zone. Any change to how the lot works calls for a measured new layout, removal of the old lines, and fresh markings that make the new traffic pattern obvious on day one. We can handle this from start to finish.

📋

You Got a Complaint or an Inspection Notice

If a customer comments about accessible parking, a tenant reports a near-miss in a drive lane, or an inspector leaves a note, there's usually a deadline attached. We handle fast turnarounds for exactly these situations, and the written scope we leave behind documents that the problem was fixed properly.

Heads up: if your parking lot also has potholes, alligator cracking, or standing water, striping alone won't fix pavement. We'll tell you at your free estimate whether your lot needs repair or resurfacing first, so you're not paying to stripe a surface that's about to break.

Budgeting

Parking Lot Striping Cost in Plano, TX

Restriping an existing layout costs $4–$7 per stall in Plano, and a typical lot lands between $450 and $2,500 all-in. New layouts cost more because every line gets measured and chalked first.

Plano Parking Lot Striping Prices by Service
Service Typical Cost* Example Project Total
Restripe Existing Parking Lot $4–$7 per stall 60-stall retail lot off Preston or Coit: roughly $400–$900 once arrows & markings are added
New Parking Lot Layout (new or sealed pavement) $6–$10 per stall 60-stall church or office lot: roughly $600–$1,100 with layout design & chalking
ADA/TAS Stall Package (symbol, aisle, blue paint) $25–$45+ per stall Signage priced separately; stall counts documented to TAS for your compliance file
Fire Lane Striping & Curb Painting $1–$3 per linear ft White lettering at the intervals City of Plano fire code requires
Wheel Stops, Signs & Bollards Quoted per item Installed & painted in the same visit as your lines

*Typical Plano-metro ranges. Where your lot lands depends on stall count, how many symbols and stencils it needs, surface condition, whether old lines need removal, and overnight vs. daytime scheduling. Bigger lots cost less per stall.

Two ways to get a better price. First, bundle: striping with a sealcoat prices lower than booking each separately, since the lot is already cleaned and sectioned off, and that's how most of our commercial clients schedule it. Second, don't wait for total faded lines: a lot restriped on a regular 1-to-3-year cycle stays on the cheap end of these ranges, while a lot that's gone gray may need extra prep or removal work first. For an exact number, the site walk is free: (972) 600-2649.

Compliance

ADA & Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) for Parking Lots

In Texas, two sets of rules govern your accessible parking: the federal ADA and the Texas Accessibility Standards, enforced by TDLR. We build every layout to pass both.

The $50,000 rule most Texas property owners miss: Texas Government Code Chapter 469 requires most commercial construction and renovation to comply with TAS on top of the ADA, and projects with a construction cost of $50,000+ must be reviewed and inspected by a Registered Accessibility Specialist (RAS) registered with TDLR. Striping alone rarely crosses that line, but a striping-plus-paving or resurfacing scope can. We'll tell you upfront when yours crosses the threshold, since it changes the paperwork and the timeline.
How Many Accessible (Handicap) Parking Spaces Are Required in Texas
Total Stalls in Lot Accessible Stalls Required Of Which Van-Accessible
1–2511
26–5021
51–7531
76–10041
101–15051
151–20061
201–30072

At least 1 in every 6 accessible spaces must be van-accessible. Larger lots continue per the standards table. Medical facilities carry higher requirements: outpatient facilities need accessible stalls for 10% of patient parking, and rehab or outpatient physical therapy facilities need 20%.

Parking Space Dimensions: Standard, Accessible & Van (ADA/TAS)
Space Type Typical Width Typical Length Notes
Standard Space9 ft18 ftThe common Plano retail & office standard
Compact Space8 ft16 ftWhere local code allows, clearly marked "Compact"
Accessible Space (ADA/TAS)8 ft + 5 ft aisle18 ftAccess aisle can be shared between two spaces
Van-Accessible Space11 ft + 5 ft aisle (or 8 ft + 8 ft)18 ftExtra clearance for wheelchair lift or ramp
Drive Aisle (90° parking)24 ft—Two-way traffic between opposing stall rows
Fire Lane20 ft min. unobstructed width—Red striping with white "FIRE LANE — NO PARKING" lettering per City of Plano fire code

ADA Parking Space Dimensions & Slope Requirements

An accessible space includes the stall plus a striped access aisle beside it, so there's room to deploy a wheelchair or lift next to the vehicle. Standard accessible stalls run 8 ft wide with a 5 ft aisle; van stalls get 11 ft with a 5 ft aisle, or 8 ft with an 8 ft aisle. Two stalls can share one aisle. And the whole area has to be nearly flat, no more than about 2% slope in any direction, which is why we check grade before painting. On Plano's clay, slabs move, so a stall that passed ten years ago may be failing today.

ADA Parking Sign & Pavement Symbol Requirements

Each accessible stall needs both the painted wheelchair symbol and a vertical sign mounted at least 60 inches high, with "Van Accessible" signs added at van stalls. A faded symbol with no post sign is the single most common violation we correct in Plano, and it's also the cheapest to fix. We install the signs in the same visit as the paint.

Where Accessible Parking Spaces Must Be Located

Accessible stalls have to sit on the shortest safe route to the building entrance, which means multi-entrance properties like strip centers and church campuses need them distributed, not clustered wherever was convenient to paint. If the route crosses a curb, the ADA ramp and detectable warning surface matter as much as the stall, and our concrete crews handle those too.

The Texas Layer: TAS Enforcement Through TDLR

The Texas Accessibility Standards largely mirror the federal ADA on parking, but Texas enforces them through its own agency, which means a lot in Plano can draw a TDLR complaint as well as a federal lawsuit. Your accessible parking has to satisfy both rulebooks, and the written scope we leave documents that it does.

Why this matters in dollars: accessibility violations are enforced through private federal lawsuits, and settlements with attorney's fees routinely cost five figures over paint and signage gaps that cost only a few hundred dollars to fix. When we stripe your lot, the stall counts, dimensions, slope check, and signage placement are documented in your written scope, so your compliance file shows the work was done right.
Know Your Materials

Best Paint for Parking Lot Striping: What Plano Lots Actually Need

Striping paints differ in cost and lifespan, and in Plano, the deciding factor is usually the sun. Here's what we use, and when an upgrade is worth paying for.

Waterborne Traffic Paint: The Standard for Plano Lots

Fast-drying, bright, and low-odor, waterborne acrylic traffic paint is what goes on the vast majority of parking lots, and it's what we use for most Plano restripes. Applied at proper thickness through a machine striper, it holds its brightness for 1 to 3 years here, closer to the short end on busy outdoor retail lots. What fades it is UV. The same sun that grays out asphalt bleaches paint, which is why our restripe cycle matches our sealcoat cycle, and why the two bundle so well.

Thermoplastic Striping for High-Traffic Areas

Thermoplastic is the thick, reflective, heat-applied marking you see on Texas highways. It costs 2 to 3 times more than paint but lasts several times longer, which makes it worth considering for the highest-wear spots: entrance arrows off a busy corridor, stop bars, and crosswalks that take a tire hit every few seconds. For busy lots, quality paint applied on schedule is usually the better way to spend your budget, but we'll tell you honestly which spots, if any, justify the upgrade.

Reflective Glass Beads for Night Visibility

Tiny glass beads get sprinkled onto the paint while it's still wet, and once it dries they reflect headlights so your lines glow at night. It's a modest upcharge that benefits lots with real evening traffic: restaurants, churches with night services, and medical offices with early-dark appointments.

Epoxy Paint & Parking Garage Striping

Parking garages are concrete, and concrete is smoother and less porous than asphalt, so standard traffic paint doesn't grip it as well and wears off faster, especially on decks with a protective coating. For garages in Legacy West and office structures around the metro, we use epoxy or other paint matched to the surface, and stripe the whole garage: stalls, level numbers, ramp arrows, columns, and pedestrian walkways.

Color is code, not decoration: white marks standard stalls and traffic lines, yellow marks hazards, curbs, and no-parking zones, blue marks accessibility, and red marks fire lanes. Green is emerging as the EV-charging convention. We use standard, code-recognized coloring on every job so drivers and inspectors are never left confused.
What to Expect

Our Parking Lot Striping Process

Most Plano restripes finish in a single visit, scheduled for whenever your lot is empty. Here's how it goes from phone call to fresh lines.

Free Striping Estimate & Layout Check

We measure your lot, count the accessible stalls your total requires under ADA and TAS, check slopes and fire lane condition, and flag anything that should change. You get a written quote with the stall math spelled out, so bids are comparable and your compliance file starts here.

Scheduled Around Your Business

Retail and restaurants get overnight or early morning. Offices get weekends. Churches get Monday through Saturday, done well before anyone arrives Sunday. Larger lots get phased in sections so part of your parking stays open at every stage for your customers.

Surface Prep & Machine Line Striping

The surface gets blown clean so paint bonds to pavement instead of dust. Restripes follow your existing lines; new layouts get fully measured and chalked first. Then lines go down through a professional line striper in crisp, consistent 4-inch widths, followed by stencils, symbols, and lettering.

Fast Dry Time & Written Documentation

In our warm, dry climate, traffic paint is walk-dry in about 30 minutes and drivable in 1 to 2 hours; our cones stay up until it's safe. You get a written scope documenting the layout, accessible stall counts, and signage for your records before we leave.

Thinking of painting it yourself?

DIY vs. Hiring a Parking Lot Striping Company

Some owners consider a roller, tape, and a few cans of traffic paint. For one or two stalls behind a small shop, that can work, but it's not as sensible for anything bigger.

DIY Parking Lot Striping Kits

  • Traffic paint runs $25–$45 a gallon and a 60-stall lot takes 5 or more gallons, plus stencils, tape, chalk lines, and rollers. Materials alone land around $250–$450
  • Hand-rolled lines wander, vary in width, and go on thin, so they fade in months under Texas sun instead of years
  • The expensive part is compliance: a wrong accessible stall count, a missing van stall, or a symbol without a sign are federal violations enforced by lawsuit, and in Texas the TAS applies on top
  • One mis-measured row and stalls come out too narrow to open a door in, in front of every customer, every day
  • Fire lane markings that don't meet Plano code get flagged on inspection and need to be redone
  • No documentation for your compliance file, and nobody to call if a question comes

Professional Parking Lot Striping

  • Restriping costs $4–$7 per stall, so a 60-stall lot runs roughly $400–$900 with markings, not far from DIY materials alone
  • Machine-striped 4-inch lines with clean edges and consistent width across the whole lot
  • Traffic-grade paint at proper thickness, holding its brightness 1 to 3 years under commercial traffic and Texas UV
  • ADA and TAS counts, dimensions, slope, and signage checked against current standards and documented in writing
  • Layout measured and chalked before paint, so every stall opens a door and every aisle fits a delivery truck
  • Done overnight while the lot is empty, open for business by morning
Where DIY makes sense: refreshing a couple of standard stalls behind a small building, or temporary markings you plan to have properly striped later. Where it doesn't: anything involving accessible stalls, fire lanes, or a full lot, because the compliance risk alone outweighs the savings. Not sure which side your lot falls on?

Timing It Right

When to Restripe a Parking Lot in Plano

🔁

Restripe Every 1–3 Years, Depending on Traffic

Busy retail lots along Preston and Coit tend to need fresh lines every 1-2 years under Texas sun and constant tire wear, while quieter office and church lots can stretch to 3 years. It's best to bundle restripe with every sealcoat, since sealer erases your lines entirely. Bundled, the two price better than either job alone, the paint lasts longer on fresh black sealer, and your accessible markings stay crisp and defensible instead of aging into a liability.

🌡

Best Time to Stripe a Parking Lot in Plano

Almost any month works. Traffic paint needs a dry surface and 50°F or warmer, which most Plano days clear even in winter, so there's no need to wait for spring if your lines are gone in December. Paint also dries fast here, which is how we stripe overnight or during your low-traffic hours and have the lot open by morning.

🚚

Drive Lanes & Arrows Fade First

Entrances, drive lanes, stop bars, and arrows take a tire hit every few seconds, while back-row stalls barely get touched. On busy corridor lots along Preston, Coit, and Parker, the lanes often ghost out a full year before the stalls do. For this, we offer spot refreshes of just the high-wear markings between full restripes, which keeps your lot sharp for a fraction of the cost.

🏢

Put Striping on a Parking Lot Maintenance Plan

Our commercial, church, and HOA clients put striping on a set cycle alongside crack sealing each fall and sealcoating every 2 to 3 years, with documentation after every visit formatted for property files and reserve studies. It's the same services you'd buy anyway, on a predictable budget line, with small problems flagged while they're still small-dollar. Details on our commercial paving services.

🧹

How to Make Parking Lot Striping Last Longer

A few habits go a long way: sweep loose gravel so tires aren't grinding it across the lines, keep drains clear so water doesn't pond on markings after our gully-washer storms, clean up oil drips promptly since they dissolve paint and asphalt alike, and pull weeds out of cracks before they widen. If a puddle sits on your lot an hour after rain, that's a drainage problem worth fixing before it becomes a pavement problem.

📸

Fresh Lines Are Cheap Documentation

For a Plano retail center or office park, the lot is part of the lease. Tenants weigh it at renewal, appraisers photograph it, and faded accessible markings are the first exhibit in a complaint. A few hundred dollars of paint every couple of years signals a managed property to everyone who looks at it.

What Plano Property Owners Say About Our Striping

"We manage a strip center and needed the lot sealcoated and restriped without closing on our tenants. Peter's crew did it over two nights, and our accessible spaces are finally laid out right. We appreciate the fast turnaround and the attention to detail!"

— Property manager, retail center in East Plano
★★★★★

"Our church lot was striped on a Thursday and ready well before the weekend. Clean lines, the fire lane was re-lettered, and they found us four extra spaces in the new layout. Couldn't ask for a smoother experience."

— Church facilities director, Central Plano
★★★★★

"Needed our office park restriped before a tenant walkthrough and Peter's crew fit us in the same week. They came out Saturday night, and by Monday morning the lot looked brand new. We've since had them do our other two properties."

FAQ

Parking Lot Striping FAQs for Plano, TX

How much does it cost to paint stripes in a parking lot?

Restriping costs $4–$7 per stall. With arrows and markings included, a 30-stall parking lot costs ~$350–$600, a 60-stall retail lot costs ~$400–$900, and a 150-stall center can reach $2,500+. The per-stall rate drops as lots get bigger, since setup and travel get spread across more spaces. New layouts on fresh or sealcoated pavement run $6–$10 per stall since every line gets measured and chalked first, and ADA/TAS stall packages (symbol, access aisle, blue paint) add $25–$45+ per stall, with signage priced separately.

What moves your number up: lots of stencils and arrows, faded or oxidized pavement that needs extra prep, old lines that need removal, and rush scheduling. What moves it down: a simple restripe over visible lines, bundling with a sealcoat since the lot is already cleaned and closed off, and simply having more stalls. These prices are for Plano, TX. For an exact number on your lot, call (972) 600-2649 for a free estimate.

Is there parking lot striping near me in Plano, TX?

Yes. We're Plano Paving Co, a family-owned company that's striped and maintained parking lots here for 22 years, from Legacy to Historic Downtown and every corridor in between, plus the surrounding Collin County cities. Because we also pave, sealcoat, and repair lots, you can come to us for everything your pavement needs, and bundled services price even better. Call (972) 600-2649.

Do you stripe concrete lots and parking garages?

Yes, we stripe over concrete, whether that's a full concrete lot, a gas station apron, or the fire lanes and dumpster zones poured into an asphalt lot. Concrete is smoother and less porous, so we use epoxy or a paint matched to the surface rather than standard traffic paint. For parking garages, common around Legacy West and Plano's office towers, we go beyond stall lines and handle level numbers, ramp arrows, columns, pedestrian walkways, and clearance markings. And since garages are indoors, there's no weather to wait on, which makes them the easiest jobs to schedule.

Do you do road striping in Plano?

Yes, we road stripe HOA and gated-community streets, subdivision entrances, church and school campus roads, apartment drives, and office park access roads. We paint centerlines, edge lines, crosswalks, stop bars, speed bump markings, and guest parking using the same machine striping and traffic-grade paint as our lot work. We've maintained private streets across Collin County for 22 years, so HOA boards get a written scope they can vote on, and we phase the work so every resident keeps driveway access. Road striping can be a standalone refresh or bundled with an HOA street paving or resurfacing project for a better rate.

We've got you covered: (972) 600-2649 for a free estimate.

Do you install parking signs, wheel stops, and bollards?

Yes, and we install it all in the same visit as your lines. That includes accessible and van-accessible signs mounted at the required heights, stop, no-parking, and tow-away signs, concrete or rubber wheel stops, speed bumps, and bollards that protect storefronts and equipment. This is critical because an accessible stall with paint but no post sign is still a violation, and it's the most common gap we find on Plano lots. Handling paint and hardware together means one contractor, one visit, and one written scope that shows everything was done to standard.

Do you stripe EV charging spaces?

Yes, we stripe and stencil EV charging bays with the green markings and lettering drivers recognize, plus signage where wanted. Clear EV markings keep charging stalls available for cars that actually need them, which matters more every year as more of your tenants and customers drive electric.

Can I stripe my own parking lot?

For a few standard stalls behind a small building, sure. For a full lot, the math rarely works: materials for a 60-stall DIY job run $250–$450, which is most of the way to professional striping at $4–$7 per stall, and hand-rolled paint fades in months under Texas sun instead of years.

The bigger issue is compliance. Accessible stall counts, van dimensions, aisle widths, and signage are federal requirements with the TAS layered on top in Texas, and mistakes are enforced by lawsuit rather than warning letter. Our DIY vs. professional comparison above walks through it point by point.

How often should a parking lot be restriped in Plano, TX?

Every 1 to 3 years, depending on traffic. Busy retail and grocery lots in the Texas sun tend to need fresh lines every 1-2 years, while quieter office, church, and industrial lots can stretch to 3 years. A great way to save is to restripe with every sealcoat, since sealer covers your existing lines entirely, and bundling the two gets a better rate. High-wear markings like entrance arrows and drive lane lines fade first, so we can also do a spot refresh between full restripes to keep your lot sharp.

What are common parking lot striping mistakes?

We see these five mistakes most commonly on parking lots:

  • Skipping the surface cleaning, so paint bonds to dust instead of pavement and peels within months
  • Spraying paint too thin to stretch it, causing lines to fade early
  • Repainting an outdated accessible layout as-is instead of fixing it
  • Skipping the layout math, so stalls come out too narrow to open a door in
  • Striping damp pavement after a pop-up storm, so the paint never fully cures

We've striped Plano lots for 22 years, and every job comes with the cleaning, chalking, and cure-time discipline that keeps these mistakes off your pavement. Call (972) 600-2649 for a free estimate.

What is the best way to stripe a parking lot?

First, start with a clean, dry surface: sweep, blow off dust, and let any sealcoat cure fully. If the parking layout is changing, measure and chalk it first so stalls come out square and the accessible spaces sit on the shortest route to the door. Use a striping machine with traffic-grade paint, not a roller and hardware-store paint, which fades fast under Texas sun. Stripe in warm, dry weather, and keep traffic off for a few hours.

On a Plano parking lot, the devil is in the details: fire lane markings need to follow city code and accessible spaces must be sized and signed to TAS. We've been doing this for 22 years, and the estimate is free if you'd rather have a professional line striper handle it.

Can you remove old parking lot lines and change our layout?

Absolutely, we design and chalk the new layout before any paint goes down. The old lines will be removed first, or drivers end up following both layouts at once. Depending on your surface, we grind the old markings off or black them out, and on asphalt the cleanest option is often a sealcoat, which erases everything in one pass and gives your new layout a fresh black surface the paint lasts longer on. We may also be able to get you 5-10% more stalls with a new smart layout.

How many handicap spaces does my parking lot need in Texas?

You need 1 accessible stall for lots up to 25 spaces, 2 for 26–50, 3 for 51–75, and 4 for 76–100, with at least 1 in every 6 accessible stalls being van-accessible: 11 ft wide with a 5 ft access aisle, or 8 ft with an 8 ft aisle. Every accessible stall also needs the painted symbol plus a vertical sign, placement on the shortest route to the entrance, and a surface slope no greater than about 2%.

In Texas these requirements come from both the federal ADA and the Texas Accessibility Standards. Our ADA and TAS guide has the full count table and dimensions. We check the math on every lot we stripe and document it in your written scope.

What is the difference between ADA and TAS in Texas?

The ADA is federal civil rights law that applies nationwide. The TAS, the Texas Accessibility Standards, is separate state law under Texas Government Code Chapter 469, administered by TDLR. For parking lots, the two largely mirror each other: same stall counts, same dimensions, same signage. The difference is enforcement. A Texas lot answers to both federal lawsuits and state complaints, and Texas adds its own layer: any construction project $50,000+ must be reviewed and inspected by a TDLR-registered accessibility specialist (RAS).

Striping alone rarely crosses that threshold, but a combined striping-plus-paving or resurfacing project can, and we'll tell you upfront when your scope triggers the review. Either way, we build every layout to satisfy both rulebooks, so the distinction never becomes your problem.

What are the standard parking space dimensions?

A typical standard space is 9 feet wide by 18 feet long. Compact spaces, where local code allows them, run around 8 by 16 feet and should be clearly marked. Accessible spaces are 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle, van-accessible spaces get wider clearance, and two-way drive aisles for 90-degree parking are typically 24 feet wide. Our ada-compliant parking space dimensions tables have the full breakdown.

How long does parking lot striping take, and when can cars park on it?

Most restripes finish in a single visit: a 60-stall lot takes a few hours, and it can be scheduled overnight or on a weekend so your business never closes. In Plano's warm, dry climate, traffic paint is walk-dry in about 30 minutes and ready for vehicles in 1 to 2 hours, but our cones stay on fresh sections until they're safe. Larger lots get phased so part of your parking stays open at every stage.

Can you restripe our parking lot without closing the business?

Yes, that's standard practice for us. We split bigger lots into sections so parking stays open at every stage and schedule the most disruptive passes for your slow hours: overnight for retail and restaurants, weekends for offices, and weekday visits for churches so everything is crisp before Sunday. Most lines are drivable within hours of painting.

What kind of paint is used for parking lot striping?

Waterborne acrylic traffic marking paint is the standard for Plano lots: a traffic-grade product made for pavement, applied at proper thickness through a machine line striper. It dries fast, stays bright for 1–3 years under Texas sun and commercial traffic, and reopens lots within hours. White paint marks stalls and traffic lines, yellow marks hazards and no-parking zones, blue marks accessibility, and red marks fire lanes. Thermoplastic and epoxy exist for heavier-duty use, and we'll tell you honestly if any spot on your lot justifies them.

What's the difference between traffic paint and thermoplastic striping?

Traffic paint is the affordable standard for parking lot striping: applied wet through a striping machine, dry in minutes, bright for 1 to 3 years in Plano depending on traffic. Thermoplastic is a thick, heat-applied, reflective material that lasts several times longer but costs 2 to 3 times more per application and needs specialized equipment, which is why it's mostly seen on highways and the busiest commercial entrances.

For most Plano lots, quality traffic paint restriped on its normal cycle is the better long-term spend. Where thermoplastic earns its cost is specific markings: stop bars, crosswalks, and entrance arrows off a busy corridor. We can quote both so you can compare directly.

What are the fire lane striping requirements in Plano?

The City of Plano requires fire lanes to be painted red, with "FIRE LANE — NO PARKING" stenciled on top in white letters at regular intervals, and the fire marshal checks both during routine inspections. Faded or illegible fire lane markings are one of the easiest violations for an inspector to flag, and one of the cheapest for us to fix, at $1–$3 per linear foot including the lettering. We stripe fire lanes to current city requirements as part of full lot projects or as a standalone visit after an inspection note.

Do you offer maintenance plans that include regular restriping?

Yes. Our multi-year pavement maintenance programs for commercial, church, and HOA clients put restriping on a set cycle alongside fall crack sealing and sealcoating every 2–3 years, with documentation after every visit formatted for property files and reserve studies. It's the same work you'd buy anyway, at bundled rates, on a predictable budget line. See our commercial paving services for the full picture.
