G.P.E. Asphalt Paving & Sealcoating
Local roots, professional crews, and a reputation for clean, long-lasting work.
When customers pull into your parking lot, the first impression they get isn’t just from your building — it’s from the pavement beneath their tires. Clean, sharp parking lines, visible traffic markings, and properly placed ADA-accessible spaces say a lot about your business. They show professionalism, attention to detail, and care for customer safety.
That’s why line striping and ADA compliance are more than just finishing touches. They’re vital for functionality, safety, and legal compliance — especially for businesses throughout Beaufort and the Lowcountry.
Line striping is the process of painting bright, durable markings on asphalt or concrete surfaces to guide vehicles and pedestrians. These markings define:
Parking stalls
Fire lanes
Crosswalks and loading zones
Arrows for traffic direction
ADA-accessible parking spaces
Over time, weather, UV rays, and traffic wear cause paint to fade. Once lines become dull or invisible, it can lead to confusion, accidents, and liability issues — all easily prevented with professional re-striping.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sets specific requirements for accessible parking areas at businesses, apartment complexes, and public buildings. Failure to comply can lead to fines or lawsuits, but more importantly, it can make your property inaccessible to customers or tenants who depend on those spaces.
Proper ADA line striping includes:
Clearly marked accessible spaces with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA).
Van-accessible spots with extended width and access aisles.
Proper slope and location close to accessible entrances.
Visible signage mounted at the correct height.
Professional contractors like G.P.E. Asphalt Paving & Sealcoating understand all local and federal ADA requirements and ensure every project meets those standards precisely.
It might be tempting to grab a paint roller and some store-bought paint, but commercial line striping requires more precision than meets the eye. Professional striping ensures:
Perfect spacing and symmetry for a polished, professional appearance.
Proper measurements and alignment to maximize space and traffic flow.
Durable, long-lasting paint that resists fading under heat and heavy use.
Compliance with local regulations for fire lanes and ADA stalls.
Professionals use commercial-grade equipment that applies paint evenly at the correct thickness, ensuring clean edges and long-term visibility — even in South Carolina’s harsh sun and humidity.
A freshly striped lot doesn’t just look better — it performs better too.
1. Improved Safety and Navigation
Clear markings reduce confusion, guide vehicles efficiently, and help pedestrians cross safely.
2. Enhanced Curb Appeal
Sharp, clean lines give your property a professional, well-maintained appearance that customers notice immediately.
3. Maximized Parking Capacity
Proper layout and spacing ensure you’re getting the most out of your available space without violating regulations.
4. Reduced Liability
Properly marked fire lanes, crosswalks, and ADA stalls help protect your business from legal issues and accidents.
Most businesses should re-stripe every 12–24 months, depending on traffic volume, sun exposure, and sealcoating frequency. If your lines have faded, cracked, or become difficult to see at night, it’s time for a refresh.
