Commercial Parking Lot Services

Parking Lot Striping in Lincoln NE

Clear, visible parking lot striping is essential for safety, traffic flow, and ADA compliance. Faded lines create confusion, reduce parking capacity, and increase liability. Professional striping enhances your property's appearance and ensures customers can navigate safely.

We provide complete parking lot striping services using high-quality traffic paint or thermoplastic for durability. Our services include layout design, parking stalls, handicap spaces and symbols, arrows, stop bars, crosswalks, fire lanes, loading zones, and custom markings.

Professional Line Striping

Our striping process ensures accurate, durable markings. We start with layout design that maximizes parking capacity while meeting code requirements. Standard parking stalls are 9 feet wide by 18 feet long. Compact spaces are 8 feet wide. Drive aisles are 24 feet wide for two-way traffic, 12-14 feet for one-way.

We use professional striping equipment that applies paint at consistent thickness and width. Lines are typically 4 inches wide, though 6-inch lines are used for emphasis. We apply paint at proper thickness (15-20 mils) for visibility and longevity.

Traffic paint dries in 1-2 hours and lasts 1-2 years. Thermoplastic is heat-applied, lasts 3-5 years, and provides superior durability for high-traffic areas. We help you choose the right material for your traffic volume and budget.

ADA Compliance and Accessible Parking

Federal law requires accessible parking spaces based on total parking capacity. Requirements include: proper number of spaces (1 per 25 for small lots, increasing with size), van-accessible spaces (1 in 6 accessible spaces), 8-foot wide spaces with 5-foot access aisles (8-foot aisles for van spaces), proper signage (vertical signs at each space), and accessible routes to building entrances.

We ensure full ADA compliance with proper space dimensions, slopes not exceeding 2%, compliant signage, and accessible routes. Non-compliance can result in lawsuits and penalties up to $75,000 for first violations. We help property owners meet requirements and avoid costly penalties.

Parking Lot Resurfacing

When parking lot surfaces show significant wear but the base is sound, resurfacing is the ideal solution. We apply 1.5-2 inches of new asphalt over existing pavement, creating a smooth, durable surface at 40-60% the cost of complete replacement.

Resurfacing addresses surface deterioration, minor cracking, fading, and wear patterns. We mill edges for smooth transitions, repair any base issues, apply tack coat for adhesion, pave with hot asphalt, and compact to proper density. The result looks and performs like new pavement.

Resurfacing costs $2-$4 per square foot installed. A 10,000 sq ft parking lot costs $20,000-$40,000 to resurface vs $40,000-$70,000 for complete replacement. Resurfacing extends lot life by 10-15 years and includes fresh striping.

Commercial Sealcoating

Commercial parking lots require professional-grade sealcoating every 2-3 years. We use refined coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealers with sand additives for traction. Our process includes power washing, crack filling, oil spot treatment, two coats of sealer, and fresh striping.

Sealcoating protects against UV damage, water infiltration, chemical spills, and oxidation. It extends pavement life by 10-15 years and maintains professional appearance. We schedule work during off-hours to minimize business disruption.

Commercial sealcoating costs $0.12-$0.20 per square foot. A 10,000 sq ft parking lot costs $1,200-$2,000 for complete sealcoating including crack filling and striping. Volume discounts are available for large properties and multi-year contracts.

Crack and Pothole Repair

Regular crack and pothole repair maintains safe parking surfaces and prevents major problems. We provide comprehensive repair services including crack filling, pothole patching, edge repair, and infrared repairs for seamless results.

Cracks are filled with hot rubberized filler that remains flexible through temperature extremes. Potholes are repaired with hot asphalt using proper preparation and compaction. We address repairs promptly to prevent water infiltration and pavement failure.

Drainage Solutions

Proper drainage is critical for parking lot longevity. Standing water accelerates pavement deterioration and creates ice hazards in winter. We provide comprehensive drainage solutions including catch basins, grading, drainage swales, and stormwater management systems.

We assess drainage patterns, identify problem areas, and design solutions that comply with Lincoln stormwater regulations. Proper drainage prevents water infiltration that undermines the base and causes pavement failure.

Maintenance Programs

We offer customized maintenance programs for commercial properties. Programs include scheduled inspections, crack filling, sealcoating, striping, and repairs. Regular maintenance prevents major problems, extends pavement life, and budgets costs predictably.

Maintenance contracts provide priority scheduling, discounted rates, and peace of mind. We work with property managers, facility directors, and business owners to create programs that fit their needs and budgets. Multi-year contracts offer additional savings.
