Short answer: we stripe new and existing lots and lay out accessible spaces to current rules. Restriping a lot counts as an alteration under the ADA, so the accessible spaces have to meet today's requirements, not the ones the lot was built under.
What we stripe
- Parking stalls, including angled and compact layouts.
- Directional arrows, stop bars and crosswalks.
- Fire lanes and no-parking zones.
- Accessible spaces, access aisles, symbols and signs.
- Loading zones and curb paint.
How many accessible spaces you need
The federal ADA standards set the count by lot size, and at least one of every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible:
| Total spaces | Accessible | Van-accessible |
|---|---|---|
| 1–25 | 1 | 1 |
| 26–50 | 2 | 1 |
| 51–75 | 3 | 1 |
| 76–100 | 4 | 1 |
| 101–150 | 5 | 1 |
| 151–200 | 6 | 1 |
| 201–300 | 7 | 2 |
| 301–400 | 8 | 2 |
| 401–500 | 9 | 2 |
Florida's rules on top
Florida Statute 553.5041 adds its own requirements: each accessible space at least 12 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle striped as a no-parking zone, the space outlined in blue paint, and a sign reading "Parking by Disabled Permit Only" mounted with its bottom at least 60 inches above the ground. Where the federal and state rules differ, the one giving more access applies. We lay out every space to meet both.
Paint and timing
New asphalt and fresh sealcoat need to cure before striping. On repaves we stripe as soon as the surface allows so the lot reopens fully marked.
Striping prices are quoted per lot from the stall count, layout and number of accessible spaces. See the price guide.
Questions
Does restriping require ADA upgrades?
Yes. Restriping is treated as an alteration, so accessible spaces must meet current requirements.
Can you change our stall layout?
Yes, within the lot's limits and local rules. We'll check whether a layout change needs city or county approval.
How long does striping take?
Most lots are striped in a day or a night; paint needs a short time to dry before traffic.
