Keep your property safe, compliant, and visually sharp with timely re-striping.
Faded parking lot lines not only look unprofessional—they can also create safety hazards and potential ADA compliance issues. If you're wondering when to schedule your next re-striping service, you're not alone.
At Tibbs Paving, we help businesses and residential communities maintain crisp, code-compliant pavement markings that protect people and property.

🕒 So, How Often Should You Re-Stripe?
The general recommendation is to re-stripe your parking lot every 18 to 24 months, but several factors may affect this timeline:
High traffic volume: More cars = faster fading
Weather conditions: Harsh winters and UV exposure can break down paint
Type of paint used: Some last longer than others
Sealcoating frequency: Re-striping is typically needed after each sealcoat
⚠️ If your lines are no longer visible at night or during rain, it’s time to re-stripe.
