WHERE WE STARTED
Striping Is Where HI-TEK Paving Began
In 2010, founder Kevin Rowland started HI-TEK Paving with one striping machine. That focus on precise, clean lines is still part of every project we do, even as the company has grown into a full asphalt and concrete paving contractor serving Forney, Kaufman County and the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
Fresh striping does more than make a lot look good. It organizes traffic, maximizes the number of usable spaces, marks fire lanes and no-parking zones, and clearly identifies accessible parking and routes. Faded lines lead to confused drivers, wasted space and safety concerns. We stripe new lots, re-stripe existing ones and redesign layouts when your needs change.

What Is Parking Lot Striping?
Parking lot striping is the application of painted lines and markings on asphalt or concrete to define parking stalls, accessible spaces, fire lanes, drive aisles, arrows, crosswalks and stop bars. Good striping organizes traffic, improves safety, maximizes usable spaces and gives a property a clean, professional look.
What Affects the Cost of Parking Lot Striping?
Striping cost depends on the number of stalls and linear footage of lines, the number of stencils, arrows and accessible symbols, whether it is a re-stripe over existing lines or a new layout, curb painting, surface preparation and scheduling outside business hours. Combining striping with seal coating usually makes the most sense.
New Layout vs. Re-Striping
- Re-striping: repainting existing lines in the same layout once they fade.
- New layout: designing and marking a fresh plan for a new or resurfaced lot.
- Layout change: re-planning stalls or traffic flow, best done after seal coating covers old lines.
Why Lines Fade Fast in North Texas
Strong summer sun and heat break down pavement paint, and heavy traffic wears lines in turning areas and drive aisles. Dirt and oil reduce visibility, and stormwater carries grit across the surface. Lots in Forney and the eastern DFW metro often need more frequent re-striping in high-traffic zones than in quiet back rows.
Striping Checklist for Property Managers
- Confirm the layout and count of accessible spaces.
- Check that fire lanes are marked as your local fire marshal requires.
- Schedule striping during low-traffic hours.
- Notify tenants and post signs ahead of time.
- Have the lot swept and dry before work.
- Pair striping with parking lot maintenance visits.

What Paint Is Used for Parking Lot Striping?
Most parking lots are striped with traffic paint made for pavement, commonly water-based or solvent-based formulas, applied with dedicated striping equipment. The right choice depends on the surface, traffic, weather and whether the lot was just sealcoated. What matters most is a clean, dry surface and an even application so lines stay bright longer.
Common Striping Mistakes
- Striping a dirty lot: paint on dust and debris peels quickly.
- Painting on damp pavement: moisture weakens the bond.
- Guessing the layout: stalls that are too narrow frustrate drivers and cause door dings.
- Too few accessible spaces: owners should review requirements before layout.
- Ghost lines: re-striping a new layout over visible old lines confuses drivers.
- Faded fire lanes: unclear fire-lane markings invite illegal parking.
How Striping Improves Safety and Flow
Clear lines tell drivers where to park, where to drive and where pedestrians cross. Directional arrows reduce wrong-way traffic in one-way aisles and drive-thrus. Stop bars and crosswalks slow vehicles near building entrances. Well-marked accessible spaces and access aisles help visitors with disabilities park and reach the door safely. Together, these markings reduce fender-benders and confusion on busy days.
Best Time to Stripe in North Texas
Striping can be done most of the year in the Forney area. Warm, dry days give the fastest drying times, while cool or humid days need a little longer before traffic returns. Many commercial lots are striped early in the morning, in the evening or on weekends to avoid disrupting customers. After sealcoating, lines go down once the sealer has cured.
Getting the Most From a Re-Stripe
- Repair potholes and cracks first so lines are not painted over damage.
- Consider sealcoating so new lines contrast against a fresh black surface.
- Review the layout for wasted space or awkward traffic flow.
- Add or relocate accessible spaces if your needs have changed.
- Refresh curb paint, wheel stops and stencils at the same time.
Pair striping with seal coating or asphalt repair for a complete refresh, and contact HI-TEK Paving to schedule.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about parking lot striping, re-striping and accessible parking layout in Forney and DFW. If you are planning a layout change or are unsure how many accessible spaces your lot should have, contact us and we will review your lot with you before striping.
How often should a parking lot be re-striped?
It depends on traffic, sun exposure and the paint used. Busy commercial lots often need re-striping more frequently than low-traffic lots. A good rule is to re-stripe whenever lines are faded enough that drivers struggle to see stalls, and always after seal coating.
Can you change my lot's layout?
Yes. We can redesign stall angles, add accessible spaces or reorganize traffic flow. Old lines can be covered during seal coating, which gives a clean slate for the new layout.
Do you stripe accessible parking spaces?
Yes. We lay out accessible stalls, access aisles and symbols. Property owners are responsible for meeting accessibility rules, so we review the number and placement of accessible spaces with you during planning.
How long does striping take and when can cars park?
Many lots can be striped in a day or less, often outside business hours. Paint usually dries quickly in warm, dry weather, and we keep areas coned until lines are ready for traffic.
Do you stripe concrete as well as asphalt?
Yes. We stripe both asphalt and concrete parking lots, along with curbs, wheel stops and drive lanes.
