If you have a commercial parking lot, you probably have had it painted with lines delineating parking spots and traffic flow areas. Then again, maybe you bought the commercial property and the parking lot already had all of the necessary parking lot line striping. But the painted lines won't hold up forever. You might have already noticed that some of them have started to fade.
If you've noticed worn lines and repainting wasn't already on your list of things to have done, you should add it immediately. Here are a few reasons why:
You Want to Be in Compliance
Depending on where your business is located, you may need to follow certain rules when it comes to parking lot striping. If you don't, you could receive fines from the town or city until your commercial parking lot is back in compliance. If you are not sure exactly what parking lot striping you need to have, you can ask the local code ordinance office.
You Want People to Have Proper Parking Options
While you will certainly have a lot of regular parking spots, you will also need a certain amount of handicapped parking spots. If you have the room, you might also want a parking space that you can offer to your employee of the month. Some people also like to provide special parking options for veterans and pregnant individuals. In order for your patrons to know where they can park, you must have clear and vibrant lines that define where all of the different parking spaces are.
You Want Your Parking Lot to Look Appealing
Believe it or not, some people would rather go do business elsewhere instead of parking in and walking through a parking lot that looks old and damaged. They might fear popping a tire or tripping over potholes or cracks. Even if the asphalt itself is still in great shape, potential customers may not see that from a distance. What they will be able to see is worn out, faded, or maybe even missing parking lot line striping. In contrast, fresh line striping will make your parking lot look more appealing to everyone, which is good for your business's public image.
Remember, this is a job that you will want to outsource to a professional parking lot striping company. They will have the proper equipment, paint colors, stencils, and experience to do the job right and within a short amount of time.

But it also includes things you may not think about as often, such as playgrounds, telephone poles, and sewer systems. All of these built structures common and uncommon, are made by construction workers or contractors of some type. They're pretty incredible, their work is pretty incredible, and we are excited to write about both them and their work here on this blog. We hope you enjoy reading it, probably while inside some type of built structure.
