Clear Lines That Last Through Heavy Use

Professional parking lot and property line striping for small commercial sites in Hickory, North Carolina

Faded parking lines create confusion for drivers and can lead to unsafe parking patterns, especially in lots that serve churches, small retail centers, or apartment complexes in Hickory. When striping wears down, your property looks poorly maintained, and you risk liability if ADA spaces or fire lanes are no longer clearly marked. Commercial Striping uses brush-applied striping that delivers sharper edges, better adhesion, and a cleaner finish than spray-only methods, which means your lines stay visible longer even with regular traffic.

The crew begins by measuring and laying out the striping pattern to match code requirements and your site layout, then applies paint by hand to create clean, consistent lines that bond directly to the asphalt or concrete. You will see crisp boundaries for parking spaces, fire lanes, ADA symbols, and directional arrows once the work is complete. This service works well for re-striping after seal coating, new lot layouts, or refreshing lines that have worn away over time.

What Brush Application Adds to Durability and Appearance

When you book striping in Hickory with Commercial Striping, the team uses brushes to apply paint in even layers that fill the texture of the pavement and create a smooth, uniform line. This method produces better adhesion than spray-only techniques because the paint is worked into the surface rather than sitting on top. You will notice the difference in how long the lines stay bright and how little edge chipping occurs after the first few weeks.

After striping is complete, your lot will have clearly defined parking spaces, compliant ADA markings, and visible fire lanes that meet local code requirements. Drivers will know where to park, and your property will look well-maintained and professionally managed. The paint cures quickly, so most lots can reopen within a few hours.

This service includes layout planning, measuring, and careful application, but it does not cover lot repairs or repaving. All striping work is backed by a warranty and completed with attention to line placement, thickness, and long-term visibility.

It helps to know what to expect during the process

Property managers and business owners in Hickory often ask about timing, traffic control, and how to prepare their lot before the crew arrives.

How long does line striping take?
Most small lots can be striped in a few hours depending on the number of spaces and markings. Larger properties or complex layouts may take half a day or more.
When can vehicles use the lot after striping?
You should keep vehicles off the striped areas for at least two hours after application in Hickory. Full curing happens within 24 hours, but light traffic is usually safe after the initial dry time.
What markings are included in the service?
Commercial Striping handles parking spaces, fire lanes, ADA symbols, directional arrows, and crosswalks. If you need custom stenciling or specialty markings, let the crew know during the estimate.
Do I need to resurface the lot before striping?
Striping works best on clean, smooth pavement. If your lot has significant cracking or damage, you may want to schedule crack filling or seal coating first to get the best results.
How often should I re-stripe my parking lot?
Most small commercial lots in Hickory need re-striping every two to three years. High-traffic areas or lots exposed to heavy sun may fade faster and require more frequent service.
