How to Re-strip a Parking Lot
Re-striping a parking lot requires precision and attention to detail. You also need someone with extensive experience to get the job done quickly and efficiently. When you choose Washh for your pressure washing and re-striping needs, here’s what you can expect.
Thorough Inspection
Washh will first conduct a thorough inspection of your surface. We will work with you to address any pre-existing issues that could affect the quality and longevity of our pressure washing and re-striping services. The inspection also informs us which products and paints are best used for the type of surface that you have.
Pressure Washing
Our team of technicians uses professional-grade equipment to blast away the dirt, dust, oil, gum, mold, and mildew that may have accumulated on the surface. We provide a deep and thorough cleaning to prepare your surface for re-striping.
- Pressure Washing Methods: The pressure washing method we will use depends on the parking lot surface.
- Pressure Washing: For more durable surfaces like concrete and asphalt, we can use either pressure washing or power washing. A pressure washer with about 3,000 PSI can effectively blast away all the dirt, dust, and debris on the parking lot surface.
- Power Washing: If we are dealing with stubborn stains and buildup, we can use a power washer with a water temperature of 165°F for faster results.
- Soft Washing: If your parking lot has a more delicate surface like brick, we will utilize a soft wash system. First, a heavy-duty cleaning solution is applied to the surface. We will let it sit for a few minutes to loosen up all the accumulated dirt, dust, and debris. Then, the surface will be rinsed using a soft washer with 500-1,000 PSI.
Planning and Measurement
If the current markings have disappeared, we will carefully measure your surface to ensure that the lines are straight and adequately spaced.
Re-striping
Washh uses high-performance line striping machines to deliver quick but precise results, even when working with a large surface area. Our machines have attachments and locking mechanisms so that there are no mistakes or errors when re-striping your surface.
Final Check
We won’t leave your property until the lines have dried. We perform a final check to ensure that the lines have been applied properly and the results are to your specifications.
