Photos to send before restriping

Include wide shots of each lot section, entrances and exits, faded or damaged markings, curbs, fire lanes, ADA-related areas, loading zones, directional arrows, stencils, obstructions, and any pavement defects.

Work-window planning for occupied lots

Identify tenant hours, high-traffic periods, vehicle-removal plans, phased areas, security access, lighting, weather constraints, cure time, and whether night or weekend scheduling is required.

For government or prime-contractor work, include the statement of work, place of performance, solicitation or PO details, documentation requirements, insurance expectations, and response deadline.

Quick answers

Common striping questions

How often should a parking lot be restriped?

Timing depends on traffic, weather, pavement condition, sealcoating, safety expectations, and buyer requirements. Many properties review markings when lines are visibly faded or after surface work.

What markings can be included?

Common scopes include parking stalls, arrows, curbs, fire lanes, loading zones, reserved spaces, stencils, and ADA-related markings when specified by the buyer or governing documents.

Does Ravfia verify code compliance from a web form?

No. Compliance-sensitive layouts and markings should be confirmed against contract documents and applicable authority requirements before field work.
