Commercial Parking Lot Striping Services in Athens and Northeast Georgia
what is striping?
Striping refers to the parking lot service involving design and application of traffic markings in your commercial parking lot. Done right, striping helps people get where they need to be, efficiently and safely. An ideal striping lot layout consists of bright white, durable, and clearly marked parking stalls. In addition, directional arrows, handicap spaces, fire lanes, stop signs, and more ensure your parking lot is in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

parking lot Striping in georgia:
things to know
In a state like Georgia, where we experience sweltering heat and humidity in the summer, and icy roads in the winter months (particularly here in North Georgia / the Georgia Piedmont), regular parking lot maintenance becomes a necessity. In the winter, industrial de-icing chemicals can be necessary to keep your visitors safe and prevent accidents from driving on ice. However, these chemicals cause serious wear to asphalt. In the summer, extreme heat can cause your pavement to oxidize. Simply, oxidation refers to the exposure of pavement (or any material) to oxygen, which effects it’s physical characteristics.
Asphalt oxidation causes asphalt to become brittle and more likely to crack with regular use. Once the oxidation process is complete, the load-bearing capacity of a lot or street decreases, causing asphalt fatigue and cracks that will only worsen as the seasons change and extreme cold weather causes asphalt to crumble. Regular sealcoating can help slow the asphalt oxidation process, and asphalt striping can ensure that curbs and parking stall lines remain in top condition.
How your lot looks speaks volumes about your business. Regular maintenance preserves the integrity of your asphalt, and can help preserve your investment and reduce your costs year after year. Get in touch with Athens Property Service for more information, and the best practices for business owners when it comes to maintaining your parking lot and asphalt.
our parking lot striping process
step 1: Preparation
Even with the highest quality supplies, a parking lot striping job will not stand the test of time without the proper preparation. At APS, we start by cleaning your lot of all debris, including trash, dirt, weeds and vegetation, and loose asphalt. For any project, a solid foundation is necessary. We will assess your parking lot, identifying and repairing potholes and cracks (especially those that intersect with your lines.) For most parking lots, we recommend that you pair striping with full lot maintenance, including sealcoating.
Step 2: Measurements and Planning
Athens Property Service has years of experience planning parking lots for large, highly-trafficked facilities including The University of Georgia (particularly when the Dawgs are playing!) When you hire us, you can be assured that your parking spaces will meet the standard requirements, and go above and beyond with a design that facilitates traffic flow and is intuitive to visitors. With an inexperienced company, you could end up with an unsatisfactory result. Skip the rest and go to the best with Athens Property Service!
Step 3: Paint
We use only the highest quality paint for line striping, and our equipment ensures a straight line every time. Water-based acrylic line striping paints provide excellent durability, high brightness and visibility, and are environmentally friendly. That’s why these paints are the choice of Athens Property Service.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Don’t settle for “good” when you can make your lot “great” with finishing touches that improve the overall experience of visitors, and ensure your business is in full compliance with government regulations. Finishing touches offered by APS include directional parking signs/stencils, fire lane signs/stencils, pick up and drop off signs, parking lot property signs, pedestrian crossing signs, crosswalks, and more.

How Often Should I Hire APS for Parking Lot Maintenance?
At Athens Property Service, we recommend that you have your pavement sealcoated within 3-6 months of it being installed. After that, sealcoating should be scheduled every 3 years. Doing so can help your lot last decades without needing to be replaced, which is one big reason that regular parking lot maintenance is a worthy investment!
We recommend you invest in parking lot striping if your lines are difficult to see, or if you notice traffic jams, confused drivers, or a generally disjointed flow of traffic in your parking lot. If would like your lot to work better for your business, consider calling Athens Property Service to see how we can help you.

Handicap Stalls
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires all businesses to provide handicapped parking stalls. The number of handicap stalls required depends on the size of your lot.

Call Athens Property Service, and we’ll make sure that your property is ADA compliant and ready to pass inspection.
Fire Lanes
Having clearly marked areas for emergency access is essential for everyone’s safety and for liability reasons. Depending on the property type, your local fire department’s guidelines, and more, you may be subject to a slew of different rules and regulations for fire lanes. Not to worry! The professionals at Athens Property Service are well-versed in all relevant regulations and will ensure your property is in compliance and ready for an emergency situation.
