If you manage a property in Wind Lake, you know a sharp, clearly marked parking lot keeps people safe, moves traffic smoothly, and protects your business from fines. Armored Asphalt delivers reliable parking lot striping Wind Lake property owners can count on. Our team lays out ADA compliant accessible stalls, paints highly visible fire lanes, and schedules fast re-stripe timelines that fit your hours.

Armored Asphalt is a local asphalt paving and maintenance company based in Kenosha, serving southeastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois. We install new blacktop, repair potholes and cracks, sealcoat, stripe parking lots, and even plow snow in winter. Our crews work year round to keep your pavement safe, compliant, and looking great.

Fresh striping is not just about looks. It is a safety system. When lines, arrows, and signs are clear, drivers know exactly where to go and pedestrians know where to walk. In Wind Lake, where snow, salt, and sun can fade paint quickly, a regular striping schedule prevents confusion and near misses. It also shows customers and tenants that you care about their safety and experience.

• Improved traffic flow, fewer bottlenecks, and safer turns
• Accessible parking that meets ADA regulations
• Clearly identified fire lanes for emergency access
• Defined pedestrian routes and crosswalks
• A clean, professional appearance that attracts customers

ADA accessibility is a must for commercial lots, apartments that serve the public, medical offices, schools, and places of public accommodation. Armored Asphalt builds ADA compliance into every parking lot striping plan we create in Wind Lake. Below is a quick guide to minimum stall counts and common layout details. Final requirements can vary by occupancy and jurisdiction. Our team surveys your site and confirms the right mix for your property.

Minimum Accessible Stall Counts

The Americans with Disabilities Act sets the minimum number of accessible spaces based on your total parking count. Here is a quick reference many property managers find helpful.

1. 1 to 25 total spaces: 1 accessible space minimum
2. 26 to 50 total spaces: 2 accessible spaces
3. 51 to 75 total spaces: 3 accessible spaces
4. 76 to 100 total spaces: 4 accessible spaces
5. 101 to 150 total spaces: 5 accessible spaces
6. 151 to 200 total spaces: 6 accessible spaces
7. 201 to 300 total spaces: 7 accessible spaces
8. 301 to 400 total spaces: 8 accessible spaces
9. 401 to 500 total spaces: 9 accessible spaces
10. 501 to 1000 spaces: 2 percent of total spaces
11. Over 1000 spaces: 20 plus 1 additional accessible space for each 100 spaces over 1000

Of the accessible stalls provided, at least 1 of every 6 accessible spaces, or fraction of 6, must be van accessible, with a minimum of one van accessible space on the site. Armored Asphalt will count your existing stalls, confirm the minimum required, and plan for the best stall positions to maximize convenience and safety.

Common ADA Dimensions and Markings

Accessible stalls and aisles must accommodate loading and unloading mobility devices. The specific option chosen often depends on the site layout. Our crews apply crisp markings and stencil symbols to clearly show the intended use.

• Accessible car spaces: typically 96 inches wide with a 60 inch access aisle
• Van accessible spaces: either 132 inches wide with a 60 inch aisle, or 96 inches wide with a 96 inch aisle
• Striping: high contrast paint, ADA symbols, and van designation where required
• Access aisles: hash marked with high visibility striping to discourage parking
• Signage: permanent signs identifying accessible and van accessible stalls mounted at proper height

Where possible, we place accessible spaces closest to accessible entrances, on the shortest accessible route, and on a stable, level surface. In winter climates like Wind Lake, we also think about snow storage so accessible aisles and ramps remain clear. If you have questions about slopes, ramps, or curb cuts, Armored Asphalt can coordinate with paving and concrete contractors to make sure the whole path of travel supports accessibility.

Fire lanes allow emergency vehicles to reach your building quickly. They must remain clear and properly marked. Requirements can vary by municipality and fire department. Wind Lake properties often follow Town of Norway and Racine County guidance. Armored Asphalt works with local standards and uses high visibility paint and stenciled messages to mark fire lanes clearly.

What We Typically Include in Fire Lane Markings

• Continuous red or yellow curb paint or pavement marking where required
• Stenciled messages such as Fire Lane and No Parking at specified intervals
• Directional arrows and stop bars near access points
• Reflective beads in paint when nighttime visibility is a priority

We recommend confirming final fire lane requirements with your local fire authority. Our team can help you connect with the correct office and provide a quick layout plan for review if needed.

Parking lot paint fades from UV exposure, vehicle tires, snowplows, and salt. A clear re-stripe timeline keeps your lot safe and professional looking year round. In our climate, most properties benefit from annual or 18 month re-striping. High traffic sites like grocery stores may need it every year. Lower traffic lots can often wait closer to two years, especially if protected by regular sealcoating.

Typical Re-Stripe Timeline

1. Traffic check: Inspect paint visibility each spring, especially after snow season.
2. Sealcoat coordination: Re-stripe immediately after sealcoating so lines bond to the fresh surface.
3. Dry time planning: Waterborne acrylic dries to touch in minutes in warm, dry weather. We usually reopen lots in 30 to 60 minutes per section, with full cure in 24 hours.
4. Seasonal timing: Best from late spring through early fall when pavement temperatures are above 45 degrees and the forecast is dry.

Armored Asphalt will create a maintenance calendar that coordinates crack filling, sealcoating, and re-striping so you get the longest life from each service and the fewest disruptions to your business.

Armored Asphalt follows a step by step plan to deliver lines that are straight, bright, and durable. We work days, evenings, or weekends to minimize disruption and keep customers safe during the project.

Step 1: Site Walk and Plan

We meet you on site in Wind Lake, measure the lot, count existing stalls, review traffic flow, and discuss ADA and fire lane requirements. You get a clear layout plan and a written estimate before work begins.

Step 2: Surface Prep

Clean pavement helps paint bond. We sweep, blow off debris, and spot prep oil stains. If your surface needs repairs, Armored Asphalt can patch potholes, fill cracks with rubberized crack-fill, and sealcoat beforehand.

Step 3: Layout and Marking

Using chalk lines and professional striping machines, we set consistent stall widths and perfect alignment. We apply ADA symbols, arrows, stop bars, and stencils per the plan.

Step 4: Paint Application

We use high quality, fast drying traffic paint designed for Midwest weather. Many lots benefit from glass bead additives near crosswalks and stop bars for extra nighttime visibility.

Step 5: Reopen and Follow Up

We phase work so customers can still access your business. After paint sets, we remove cones and walk the site with you to confirm everything looks correct. You receive a maintenance reminder before the next season so you can budget ahead.

Not all line paint performs equally in freeze thaw cycles. Armored Asphalt chooses coatings that handle salt, snowplows, and wide temperature swings common in Wind Lake. We recommend waterborne acrylic for most lots due to quick dry times and low odor. In special applications we can discuss alternatives that meet DOT or heavy duty needs.

• Line widths: Standard 4 inch lines for stalls, 6 inch where specified near ADA and high visibility areas
• Layering: Single coat on re-stripes, two coats on new layouts or after fresh sealcoat for best brightness
• Color coding: White for standard stalls, yellow for two way traffic and caution, blue for accessible areas, red or yellow for fire lanes depending on local code
• Stencils: ADA symbols, van accessible text, fire lane, no parking, arrows, and numbers as needed

Armored Asphalt does more than paint lines. Our in house paving and maintenance services protect your investment for the long haul. When you pair striping with regular repairs, your lot stays safer, drains better, and looks great.

• Paving: New blacktop for driveways and parking lots, built for long life.
• Patching and pothole repair: Hot mix patching for permanent fixes, cold patching for winter emergencies. We can patch areas up to 10 by 20 inches or larger by plan.
• Sealcoating: Two coat system that shields against water and UV, helps pavement last longer, and makes fresh striping pop.
• Crack filling: High grade rubberized crack-fill. We recommend filling before sealcoating and before winter each year.
• Pavement striping: Integrated in our commercial maintenance plans after repairs and sealing.
• Snow plowing: Commercial snow clearing in Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie, and Racine for safe winter access.

Good planning keeps your property accessible while work moves forward. Here is how we make striping day efficient for you and your customers.

1. Phase the lot: We stripe in sections so you always have open parking.
2. Notify tenants: Post a short schedule with map 48 hours ahead.
3. Stage materials: Cones, tape, and barricades ready to go at start time.
4. Weather watch: We monitor forecasts to avoid rain or cold snaps that slow dry times.
5. Final walkthrough: Confirm counts, placement, and visibility before we wrap up.

How long does striping take?

Most small to mid size lots in Wind Lake can be striped in a few hours. Larger or more complex sites may take a day. We schedule in phases to keep customer access open and to meet your business hours.

When can vehicles drive on fresh paint?

In warm, dry weather, traffic paint is usually dry to the touch in minutes. We typically reopen sections within 30 to 60 minutes. Full cure is around 24 hours, so we advise gentle turning and no sharp pivots during that first day.

Can you re-stripe over faded lines?

Yes. We follow existing layouts when they are correct, or we adjust them to improve flow and meet ADA and fire lane rules. After sealcoating, we lay out a crisp new pattern for maximum visibility.

What does parking lot striping cost?

Pricing depends on lot size, number of stalls, stencils, and any layout changes. Armored Asphalt provides free, no pressure estimates. We can also bundle crack filling and sealcoating with striping to save you money and time.
