Professional Striping That Improves Traffic Flow, Safety, and First Impressions
Fresh, crisp parking lot stripes do more than mark spaces — they organize traffic, communicate professionalism, ensure ADA compliance, and reduce the risk of vehicle-on-vehicle and vehicle-on-pedestrian incidents. MRH Paving & Sealcoating delivers precision striping services to commercial properties, retail centers, office complexes, and HOA communities throughout Cleveland, OH and the surrounding Northeast Ohio region. Every line, arrow, and marking we apply is laid out for actual function — not just to fill space.
Since 2004, our crew has striped countless lots across the region, and we treat the layout work with the same care as the paint application itself. A well-striped lot looks intentional from the moment a customer pulls in.
What Parking Lot Striping Includes
Parking lot striping is the application of high-visibility paint or specialized traffic marking material to pavement surfaces — defining parking spaces, directional flow, ADA-accessible parking, fire lanes, crosswalks, stop bars, and any other visual communication that organizes how vehicles and pedestrians move through the property. Done correctly, striping balances code compliance, traffic efficiency, and maximum usable space in the available footprint.
Types of Striping Work
- Standard Parking Space Striping — Single or double lines marking parking spaces in 90-degree, angled, or parallel layouts
- ADA-Accessible Parking — Compliant accessible spaces with proper access aisles, signage, and pavement symbols
- Directional Arrows and Traffic Flow — Painted arrows and lane markings that move vehicles through the lot efficiently
- Fire Lane Marking — Red paint and curb striping that meets local fire code requirements
- Crosswalks and Pedestrian Markings — High-visibility crossings at primary pedestrian routes
- Stop Bars and Yield Markings — Traffic control markings at lot intersections and exits
- Custom Pavement Markings — Loading zones, reserved spaces, motorcycle parking, EV charging, and property-specific markings
- Restriping Existing Lots — Renewing faded markings on lots that retain their original layout
Our Striping Process
- Layout Planning — We measure the lot, evaluate traffic flow, and verify accessible parking requirements based on space count
- Surface Preparation — Loose debris is swept and the surface is cleaned for proper paint adhesion
- Layout and Marking — Stripe lines are marked using chalk lines and templates to ensure straight, properly-spaced lines
- Paint Application — High-quality traffic paint is applied at proper thickness using line striper equipment
- Symbol and Detail Work — ADA symbols, arrows, and custom markings applied with stencils for clean, consistent results
- Cure and Cleanup — Paint cures within an hour or two; cones and barriers are removed once paint is dry to touch

Frequently Asked Questions About Striping
Can you stripe over old markings, or do they need to be removed?
For restriping in the same layout, we typically apply new paint directly over the faded old lines. For layout changes, old markings may need to be blacked out before new striping is applied. Sealcoating between the old and new layouts is the cleanest approach.
