How to Prepare for
Parking Lot Striping

The short answer: very little. For most customers, preparing for parking lot striping means telling us what you want and giving us access to the lot. We handle the rest.

Here are the questions we hear most often, answered plainly. If yours isn’t here, call or text and we’ll gladly talk it through.

How It Works: Our Line Striping Process

01
Tell Us What You Need
Call, text, or message us with a rough idea of your lot size or what needs painted. We’ll discuss your project, get you an estimate, and get you on the schedule.
02
Prep Your Lot
Clear the area and check the surface: Have vehicles, trailers, and equipment moved if possible (if tenant vehicles can't be moved, we can work around them in phases), ensure the lot is dry and free of heavy mud, and let us know ahead of time about stubborn oil spots or major surface repairs.
03
Final Debris Clearance & Setup
A quick leaf-blower pass removes loose debris and leaves before we paint.
04
We Paint
We apply professional-grade traffic paint for crisp, durable lines. Because Nebraska weather can be unpredictable, if rain or extreme temperatures get in the way, we’ll communicate immediately to reschedule for the next optimal window.

Striping Prep: Your Questions

My lot is visibly clean. Do I need it professionally cleaned before striping?

Generally no. We use a leaf blower to clear any minimal loose debris right before we paint, so a lot that looks clean is ready for us.

My lot isn’t spotless. Can you still stripe it?

Usually, yes. We blow off loose debris and leaves as part of the job, but we don’t offer professional cleaning. If your lot has heavy dirt, mud, gravel or weeds, mention it when you call and we’ll come up with a game plan.

Do I need to move the cars before you stripe?

We prefer the cars to be moved, but we commonly work around vehicles. Let us know what your lot is like and we’ll plan the job around it.

What happens if the weather isn’t perfect on the day of my striping?

Warmer temperatures are ideal, but we can sometimes work in less-than-ideal conditions. We can’t paint in the rain, though. If the weather delays your job, we simply reschedule for a time when it clears up.

How long will my parking lot striping take?

It depends entirely on the job: the size of the lot, the layout and the markings you need. Tell us about your lot and we’ll let you know what to expect.

Can you stripe on a weekend so my business isn’t disrupted?

Yes. We offer weekend scheduling and work around your business.

I want my lot to look the same as it does now. What do I need to do?

Just let us know. We’ll re-stripe the existing layout. If you’d like a different stall count or added ADA spaces, tell us that too and we’ll discuss the options.

How soon can I use my lot after it’s striped?

We use Sherwin-Williams Hotline, a fast-drying traffic paint. Exact timing depends on the weather and the job, so we’ll let you know what to expect for yours.

What do I need to do to get a free estimate?

Call or text 402-834-1442, or use our contact form. A rough description of your lot — where it is, about how big it is and what you’d like done — is enough to get started.
