What we do
Marking every surface we touch
From the simple retail re-stripe to the most technical interstate highway or airport project.
Specialty work
The jobs other crews pass on
Airfields, removal, traffic control, and technical legend work, self-performed with our own people and equipment.
Airport Marking
Runway, taxiway, and apron markings with the reflectivity and layout precision airfield work demands.
Marking Removal
Mechanical grinding and water blasting to remove obsolete markings without scarring the pavement surface.
Traffic Control
Signs, cones, barrels, arrow boards, and certified flaggers to keep crews and the traveling public safe.
Symbols & Legends
Arrows, crosswalks, stop bars, ADA stalls, bike lanes, and preformed thermoplastic legends.
How it works
From first call to final walk
A predictable process, whether it's a twelve-stall lot or a twenty-mile corridor.
Site Review
We walk or review the site, confirm quantities, surface condition, and any traffic staging requirements.
Written Estimate
A clear scope with material type, layout, and schedule so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Schedule & Stage
We coordinate closures, weather windows, and cure times, including nights and weekends when needed.
Stripe & Inspect
Crews apply, we verify line width, thickness, and bead coverage, then walk the finished job with you.
Materials we apply
- Waterborne paint (high build / high solids)
- Plural component epoxy
- Preformed thermoplastic
- Methyl methacrylate (MMA)
- 3M preformed tape
- Grooved / recessed markings
Questions
Common questions
How long before we can drive on it?+
Waterborne paint is typically dry to traffic in under an hour in good conditions. Epoxy and MMA need longer cure windows, which we plan into the schedule so your lot or lane reopens on time.
What time of year can you stripe?+
In the upper Midwest, the striping season generally runs spring through late fall. Pavement and air temperature both matter. We schedule early and work weather windows aggressively.
How often should a parking lot be restriped?+
Most commercial lots benefit from a re-stripe every one to two years depending on traffic volume, plowing, and whether the original was paint or epoxy.
Do you handle traffic control too?+
Yes. We self-perform traffic control on our own projects, including signage, devices, and certified flagging.
Can you remove old or incorrect markings?+
We remove markings by mechanical grinding or water blasting, chosen based on the pavement type and how much of the original surface needs to be preserved.
