Prep Work: The Unsung Hero of Parking Lot Striping

At 1-800-STRIPER of Omaha, we know that the key to a durable, professional-looking parking lot is not just the quality of the paint, but the quality of the preparation. Before a single drop of paint touches the asphalt or concrete, the ground must be meticulously cleaned. This isn’t just an optional step—it’s absolutely critical for longevity and a sharp finish.

Imagine painting on a dusty countertop; the paint will flake and peel almost immediately. The same principle applies to your parking lot. Dirt, dust, loose gravel, oil spots, and old, crumbling paint residue all act as a barrier, preventing the new striping paint from properly bonding with the pavement. If we skip the cleaning step, the new lines will quickly blister, chip, and fade, wasting your investment.

Our professional process involves using specialized blowers, sweepers, and sometimes even power washers to ensure the surface is perfectly clean and dry. Removing all debris and foreign material ensures maximum adhesion, meaning your bright, crisp lines will cure correctly and stand up to heavy traffic and harsh Nebraska weather for years to come. Clean ground is the bedrock of a long-lasting stripe. We take pride in this crucial, often-overlooked step because a stripe is only as strong as the surface it’s on.

We bring this unwavering commitment to thorough prep work to every job throughout the region.

We are proud to serve Omaha and the surrounding communities within 100 miles, including but not limited to: Bellevue, Council Bluffs (IA), Papillion, La Vista, Fremont, Blair, Plattsmouth, Wahoo, Gretna, and Yutan. Contact 1-800-STRIPER today for lines that last!
