    ADA Compliance and Accessible Parking

     

    Maintaining ADA-compliant parking lot markings is not just good practice, it's a legal requirement for commercial properties. Non-compliant lots can expose property owners to costly fines and litigation.

    Interstate Companies is experienced in designing and marking accessible parking layouts that meet current ADA standards, including the correct number of accessible stalls, proper stall dimensions, access aisles, and signage placement. If your lot hasn't been reviewed recently, a restripe may be the simplest way to bring it into compliance.

     

    When Should You Restripe Your Parking Lot?

    Many property owners underestimate how quickly markings fade, especially after a Minnesota winter. You should schedule restriping when:

    • Markings are faded, worn, or difficult to see
    • Your lot layout has changed or needs reconfiguration
    • ADA compliance updates are required
    • Sealcoating or pavement resurfacing has been completed
    • New pavement has been installed
    • Safety concerns or visibility issues have been raised by tenants or visitors

    As a rule of thumb, most commercial parking lots benefit from restriping every one to two years, depending on traffic volume and exposure to winter maintenance treatments. 

    Striping Built for Minnesota Conditions

     

    Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snowfall, and aggressive winter maintenance are hard on pavement markings. We use professional-grade traffic paint and thermoplastic materials selected for durability in cold-climate, high-traffic environments.

    Timing also matters. Striping requires dry pavement and appropriate temperatures to cure and bond correctly. Our team plans projects around Minnesota's weather window to ensure the best possible results and longest-lasting finish.

    Frequently Asked Questions

     

    How long does parking lot striping take?

    Most commercial parking lots can be striped in a single day. Larger or more complex projects — such as full layout redesigns or multi-building campuses — may take longer. We work to minimize disruption to your operations and can schedule work during off-hours when needed.

    How long does striping last?

    Longevity depends on traffic volume, pavement condition, and exposure to winter maintenance. In Minnesota, most commercial lots benefit from restriping every one to two years. High-traffic areas like fire lanes and accessible stalls may need attention sooner.

    Can you stripe over sealcoating?

    Yes — but timing is critical. New sealcoating must fully cure before striping can be applied, typically 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. We coordinate striping as part of broader pavement maintenance projects to make sure the sequencing is right.

    Do you handle ADA-compliant parking lot layouts?

    Yes. We design and mark accessible parking layouts that meet current ADA standards, including stall count, dimensions, access aisle widths, and signage requirements. If you're unsure whether your lot is compliant, we can assess it as part of a project quote.

    What is the difference between paint and thermoplastic striping?

    Traffic paint is the most common and cost-effective option for most commercial parking lots. Thermoplastic is a more durable material that is heat-applied and provides longer-lasting results — it's often used for high-wear areas like crosswalks, fire lanes, and stop bars. We can recommend the right material for your property and budget.

    Do you serve areas outside the Twin Cities?

    Yes. We serve commercial properties throughout Minnesota, from the Twin Cities metro to Greater Minnesota. Contact us to confirm coverage for your location.
