Striping is the layer drivers actually read. It tells them where to park, where not to, which way to travel through the lot, and where the fire lane sits. Asphalt Denver stripes retail centers, offices, medical buildings, warehouses, churches, schools and HOA lots across Denver and the surrounding metro area.
Two different jobs hide under the one word. A re-stripe follows lines that are already on the ground, so it is quick and cheap. A new layout means measuring the lot, setting the stall module and drive aisles, putting the accessible spaces on the shortest route to the entrance, and chalking all of it before any paint moves. Tell us which one you have and we can price it properly.
Paint goes on after sealcoat and after new paving, never before. If you are doing all three this season, the order is pave or seal first, let it cure, then stripe.

How the job is done
- 01
Count and measure
We measure the lot, count what is on the ground now, and check the accessible stall count against the total space count in the 2010 ADA Standards. If it comes up short, the estimate says so.
- 02
Lay it out on paper
A new layout gets a marked plan showing stall size, drive aisle widths, the accessible route to the entrance, the fire lane and the direction of travel, before anyone opens a paint can.
- 03
Clean the surface
Paint will not stick to dust or loose sealer. On the day, the lot gets blown and swept, and oil-stained areas get treated.
- 04
Chalk and string
New layouts are chalked and strung on the ground so you can walk it and change your mind while changing it still costs nothing.
- 05
Spray and cure
Lines go down with a striping machine in traffic-grade paint. Most are dry to walk on inside an hour and ready for vehicles in a few, weather depending.
Parking Lot Striping in Denver
Denver lots lose their lines fast. Plow blades scrape paint off through winter, the sand and mag chloride that go down with them grind at whatever survives, and UV at 5,280 feet fades the pigment through summer. Most lots here want a refresh every two to three years rather than the five you might get in a milder climate.
The accessible stall count is federal, not local. The 2010 ADA Standards set the minimum: one accessible space in a lot of 1 to 25 spaces, two for 26 to 50, three for 51 to 75, four for 76 to 100, and up in steps from there. At least one in every six accessible spaces has to be a van space. A car space needs 96 inches plus a 60 inch access aisle. A van space needs either 132 inches plus a 60 inch aisle, or 96 inches plus a 96 inch aisle. If we count your lot and the numbers do not work, we will tell you before we paint it the same way again.
What it costs
Striping is priced by what gets painted, not by lot area. HomeGuide put a standard stall at $4 to $5, an accessible stall at $25 to $40 because of the symbol, border and aisle, arrows and stop bars at $10 to $30, fire lanes and crosswalks at $35 to $75, and curb painting at $0.75 to $1.00 per linear foot, with $500 to $1,200 typical for a 30 to 50 stall lot plus a $150 to $350 mobilization charge. A brand new layout runs 20 to 50 percent above a straight re-stripe. National figures, as of 2026.

Parking Lot Striping questions
How many accessible parking spaces does my lot need?
The 2010 ADA Standards set it by total spaces: one for a lot of 1 to 25, two for 26 to 50, three for 51 to 75, four for 76 to 100, then rising in steps to 20 plus one per 100 above 1,000. At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van accessible.
How often should a Denver parking lot be re-striped?
Every two to three years for most lots here. Plows, sand, mag chloride and high-altitude UV wear paint faster than in milder climates. Heavy retail traffic and drive-through lanes go sooner. If you are sealcoating, plan the re-stripe straight after, because sealer covers the old lines.
Can you stripe a lot that was just sealcoated?
Yes, and that is the right order. Sealcoat needs to cure first, usually 24 to 48 hours in warm dry weather. Paint applied over green sealer traces the lines but will not hold them. We schedule the striping crew a day or two behind the seal crew.
How long does the lot need to be closed?
A straight re-stripe of a 40 stall lot takes a few hours. A new layout on a large lot can run a day or more. We usually work in halves so you keep part of the lot open, or come in at night. Paint is walkable in about an hour and takes traffic in a few.
Do you paint fire lanes, and can you tell me where they go?
We paint fire lane curbs and lettering to the marking your local fire district requires. We do not decide where the fire lane goes. That comes from the fire code official for your jurisdiction, so send the approved site plan or their correspondence and we will mark exactly that.
Do you supply wheel stops?
Yes, in concrete or recycled rubber, placed and pinned. Rubber survives plow contact better and does not spall the way concrete does in repeated freeze-thaw. Wheel stops usually go in after striping, so they land square on the finished stall line.
