Striping
Property managers, HOAs, and facility directors throughout Sacramento, CA know that a freshly paved lot without proper striping is still an incomplete job. Line striping determines traffic flow, ADA compliance, parking capacity, and the overall professional appearance of your commercial property. Serrato Asphalt provides complete parking lot striping services for commercial facilities throughout Sacramento, CA and the greater Sacramento Valley — with clean, precise, durable markings applied by our own trained crew using professional line striping equipment.
What Is Parking Lot Striping?
Parking lot striping — also called line striping or pavement marking — is the process of applying painted or thermoplastic markings to asphalt surfaces to designate parking spaces, traffic lanes, fire lanes, loading zones, and accessible parking areas. Striping transforms a paved surface into a functional, organized, and code-compliant parking facility.
In California, parking lot striping must meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards for accessible space dimensions, access aisles, and signage. Non-compliant striping exposes property owners to liability and regulatory risk.
Types of Striping We Provide
- Standard Parking Space Marking – Stall lines at proper dimensions for private passenger vehicles and compact car designations
- ADA Accessible Space Striping – Compliant accessible parking spaces with correct dimensions, access aisles, and international symbol placement
- Fire Lane Marking – Red-painted curbs and “No Parking – Fire Lane” text meeting local fire code requirements
- Traffic Flow Arrows – Directional arrows guiding traffic through one-way aisles and traffic patterns
- Loading Zone Marking – Designated loading and unloading areas for commercial and industrial facilities
- Re-Striping – Restoration of faded existing markings on previously paved lots that no longer meet visibility standards
Our Striping Process
- Layout Planning – We review your lot dimensions and existing layout — or design a new layout — to maximize stall count while meeting code requirements
- Surface Preparation – The surface is swept clean before marking; debris and moisture prevent paint adhesion
- Layout Marking – Reference points and layout lines are chalked before final paint application to ensure alignment and accuracy
- Machine Line Striping – Professional line striping equipment applies clean, consistent-width lines at the correct thickness for durability
- ADA Compliance Review – Accessible space dimensions, access aisle widths, and slope requirements are verified before job completion
