You're a business owner who decides to tackle your worn-out parking lot after putting in long hours. You arm yourself with buckets of paint, the best brushes you can buy, and a slew of online video tutorials. Your job today is rejuvinate the parking lot and make the spaces ADA compliant.
Hours later, you finished your work and step back to take a look. It's not exactly what you hoped for, is it? Smudged paint, uneven lines, and a not-so-professional appearance. This may not be ADA-compliant, and customers certainly won't like it.
It's not an uncommon scenario. Many business owners attempt DIY parking lot striping so they can save money. Without the right equipment and training, it's hard to get precise lines and compliant markings. Mistakes in a parking lot can lead to safety hazards, non-compliance fines, and a negative first impression.
The Pitfalls of DIY Striping
Lack of Precision: Straight, uniform lines without professional equipment is challenging.
Non-Compliance Risks: ADA regulations and local codes require exact measurements and placements, which DIY methods often overlook.
Short-Term Durability: Lower-quality paint and improper application lead to fading and chipping, requiring touch-ups and sunk costs.
Safety Concerns: Poorly marked lots can cause confusion, increase accident risks, and reduce accessibility for disabled individuals.
Hidden Costs: Repainting, fixing mistakes, and potential fines often make DIY striping more expensive in the long run.
