Frequently Asked Questions Covington, Louisiana
|
How do I go about getting a free estimate or quote?
We will get all the information from you about your parking lot striping project. We will then send you a free quote. How long will the estimate take to finish and send? We try to complete estimates within 48 hours. We aim for a 24-hour turnaround, but If we need to survey your property, it will take a little longer. How much does it usually cost to re-stripe a parking lot or parking garage? Prices will vary on what needs to be done. We price our quotes based on linear footage of the fire lanes, yellow lines on stalls, white lines, or any other lines. Our handicap stenciling, access lanes, bollards, wheel stops, etc. are a price per unit. We will try to figure the proposal using aerial photos and software that allows us to measure your lot using those photos. We also will visit the site if needed. Sometimes we cannot get a good picture of the site and then we will need to come out to the site. We have a minimum charge for pressure washing and striping a lot. Do you offer any kind of discount or coupon? Throughout the year we will offer new customer discounts and church discounts. Check our website regularly for discount opportunities.

Will I receive a definite time when the project will be completed after the quote is given and accepted?
We will give you a good date and time when we will be at your site. We will always let you know of any changes in the schedule. Our business is also dependent on the weather, so, always keep that in mind.
Can you stripe the lot when the temperature is cold or rainy outside?
When the temperature is too low, the paint doesn’t flow well. When it is too windy, there is too much over-spray. When the concrete is wet because of rain, the paint will not stick. So, dry warm or hot days and nights are the best time to stripe for the best results.
How long does it take for the paint to dry once applied?
It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to dry.
The Fire Marshal came to day and told me I needed to get my fire lanes up to code. I have a deadline to have my fire lanes up to code. Can you meet my deadline?
You should usually have about 30 days to comply. Give us a call as soon as the Fire Marshal comes to give us an ample amount of time to give you an estimate and schedule your job. We will do what we can to get your job done on time. Most Fire Marshals are understanding if they know you have already got a quote and are working with a striping business.
Where can I find out about the Fire Lane Requirements and City
Building Codes?
City fire codes are generally based on the International Fire Code, as published by the International Code Council. Search for Covington Fire Lane Requirement to see their codes.
What are the requirements that I need to stay in compliance with?
ADA (Americans with Disability Act) and local codes which include City Building Codes in regards to fire lanes.
Does your company provide and install Handicap Signs?
Yes, we provide and install handicap signs on buildings or posts.
We offer many other services such as speed bumps and wheel stops and more.
Do you stripe lots all over Covington, Louisiana?
Yes, we do. We may have to add a trip charge to projects that are further than 25 miles from our office in Covington.
Can you stripe my lot during non-traffic hours so it doesn’t interfere with my customers or homeowners?
We will work around your schedule. We schedule work 24/7 to ensure that the parking lot is empty. We also will work on the weekends. If your business is never closed, then we will do what we can to work around your customers.
What steps do I need to take to get ready for the striping to be done?
You will need to notify your tenants or customers of the day and time that the striping is scheduled so there will not be any unattended cars in the lot.
The paint will need to dry for 20 minutes. Ask them to not drive over any freshly painted areas.
Ask your customers to not park in the areas that are going to be striped.
Make sure the grass or landscape is neat along the curbs that are going to be painted.
Turn off sprinkler systems overnight and for the duration of the project.
If the lot has a lot of dirt or loose gravel, the lot should be swept before pressure washing and striping.
We will also need the location of the water source that we can use during work. We will need that for pressure washing.
Should I have the parking lot pressure washed before it is striped?
Having a clean surface enables us to provide a durable finish and a quality job. We will use a 4000-5000 psi turbo pressure washing system to strip away grime, dirt, and any loose old paint. This makes a surface for the paint to adhere to.
How often do I need to re-stripe my parking lot?
You should always re-stripe your parking lot every one to two years to keep your property looking fresh and clean. Your business will have a professional image and you will be laying the groundwork for a durable job that will look better for longer. When you strip the paint before the paint has the opportunity to peel, you will be laying down good paint over good paint, building up a durable stripe.
This also will depend on the usage of your parking lot and the climate that you are in. If your paint has started to fade or peel, then it is time to restripe your parking lot or garage.
