If your business or organization uses a parking lot, there are a lot of connected responsibilities for you. Parking lot striping is an essential part of your parking lot maintenance. Just like all other aspects of your business and building, it’s your job to stay up on these maintenance jobs and pull the right professionals to help. Let’s look at a few reasons why you should get estimates for parking lot striping services.

1. Save Money

It’s no secret that maintenance can be costly, but ignoring maintenance can be even more costly. According to HomeAdvisor, striping for parking lots that include about 30–50 spaces will cost a business owner about $300 to $500. To get the best deal on this essential maintenance project, you’ll want to collect a few estimates from different local service providers. Estimates give you an advantage when it comes to negotiating prices.

2. Stay in Compliance

Ignoring striping in your parking lot simply isn’t an option. Parking lots are regulated according to local municipal ordinances. If you have a parking lot, you are under an obligation to stay in compliance with those ordinances. Those ordinances will outline requirements for striping. Over time the striping that was originally painted on your parking lot will fade. When this happens, you are required to have it re-painted.

3. Avoid Liability

Your parking lot striping is one way you can decrease the amount of liability risk you put yourself at. Even having a parking lot on your property creates a certain amount of liability risk. You are inviting vehicles onto your property. Anytime vehicles are present on a property there is an increased risk of injury or property damage. Proper striping on the lot will decrease this risk significantly. When drivers know where to go and where to park, there is less incidence of accidents and confusion. As a business owner, you want to decrease your chances of liability. Being held liable for injuries or damage can get very expensive and can have a negative financial effect on your business.
