How long does line striping take?

A standard commercial lot (50–100 spaces) typically takes 2–4 hours. We work around your business schedule — early morning and weekend slots are available.

Do I need a permit to restripe my parking lot in New York?

Restriping an existing layout generally does not require a permit in New York. Changes to the layout that affect fire access lanes or ADA-designated spaces may require local approval from the City of Saratoga Springs or Saratoga County. RDM can advise on your specific situation before work begins.

How soon after sealcoating can I restripe?

Sealcoating must cure fully before striping — typically 24–48 hours under good conditions (dry weather, temperatures above 50°F). We coordinate timing on combined sealcoat-and-stripe projects so both steps are handled without an extended gap.

Can you stripe over old, faded lines?

Yes — if the old lines are still visible enough to guide alignment. For heavily faded or repositioned layouts, we chalk-line the configuration first to ensure accuracy. If you're changing the stall layout entirely, we plan the new layout before any paint is applied.

Do you handle fire lane striping?

Yes. We stripe red curbs and fire lane designations per local fire code. Requirements can vary by municipality in Saratoga County — we confirm code specifications before application.

What's the difference between water-based and solvent-based striping paint?

Water-based (latex) paint dries faster and is lower in VOCs — a solid choice for most commercial lots. Solvent-based paint is more durable under heavy traffic. We recommend the right product based on your traffic volume and lot surface condition.

What RDM's Line Striping Covers

‍

ADA Compliance: What New York Property Owners Must Know

Federal ADA standards set the minimum number of accessible parking spaces based on total lot size, and they apply every time you restripe — there is no grandfathering of older layouts. When you resurface or restripe a parking lot in New York, the new markings must meet current 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

Non-compliance exposes property owners to DOJ complaints, ADA retrofit orders, and potential litigation. RDM applies current ADA standards on every striping job and documents the layout for your records.

When to Restripe: Timing for the Capital Region

Striping doesn't fade at the same rate everywhere. In Saratoga Springs, UV exposure, abrasive winter sand and salt, and the freeze-thaw cycle that runs November through March accelerate fading faster than in warmer climates. You should restripe when:

Stall boundaries are unclear in midday light
You've had the lot sealcoated — sealer covers existing lines, and restriping is required after every sealcoat application
You've changed the layout: added spaces, reconfigured traffic flow, or updated ADA designations

Paint Selection and Seasonal Timing

We use traffic-grade latex and solvent-based paints selected for upstate New York conditions. Application conditions matter: we don't stripe on pavement below 50°F, during rain, or within 24 hours of forecast rain.

The practical scheduling window for line striping in the Capital Region is May through September. Striping done in this window gives paint the cure time it needs before temperatures drop and freeze cycles begin. Late-season work in October or November risks poor adhesion and early failure.

For combined sealcoat-and-stripe jobs, sealer must cure fully — typically 24–48 hours — before striping begins. We coordinate timing on paired projects so you don't end up with a gap between crews.
