Project Background

Life Storage had been dealing with a range of issues revolving around the faded striping and numbering for their outside parking spaces, which are rented out on a monthly basis to tenants. Over time, the wear and tear from constant use and exposure to the elements had caused the lines and numbers to become barely visible, leading to confusion and inefficiencies in parking management. This deterioration not only affected the aesthetic appeal of the parking lot but also posed potential safety hazards and operational challenges. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive solution, they requested that we undertake a project to restripe the parking lines and renumber the parking spaces. This would ensure clear, organized, and easily identifiable parking spots, thereby enhancing the overall functionality and appearance of the facility.

How We Assess A Project When Preparing A Cost Proposal

Our expertise lies in conducting thorough site evaluations for asphalt and concrete projects. Unlike many contractors who simply estimate sizes or use rough measurements, we take a meticulous approach to job costing. This sets us apart from others in the asphalt paving industry who may underbid projects and resort to substandard materials or shortcuts or worse (loaded change orders). While we may not always be the lowest-cost provider, we prioritize being the "lowest risk" provider by delivering the highest value. Clients often choose us not for our affordability, but for our comprehensive proposals and deep understanding of project requirements. Our commitment to detailed scoping sets us apart, ensuring that clients feel confident in entrusting their projects to us.

Our expertise in asphalt assessment and transparent business model was able to save this client on contracting with a asphalt paving contractor who may not have had their best interest in mind.

Upon completion of our assessment, we utilize proprietary software to map out a detailed site evaluation, pinpointing the exact locations for all proposed work, from sealcoating to repairs. This comprehensive approach ensures that the client gains a clear understanding of the project scope, costs, and locations where work will be conducted on their property. Armed with this valuable information, we swiftly move on to crafting a detailed cost proposal, typically dispatched via email on the same day that the project assessment is completed.

Unique Challenges For This Project

Outside parking in self-storage facilities serves a diverse range of customers, from contractors who come and go on a daily basis to individuals who park a boat trailer or RV and may not move it for 1-5 years. This variety in usage patterns presents unique challenges when scheduling maintenance work. Life Storage's internal corporate policy mandates that tenants receive a 30-day notice if their parking spaces are going to be impacted by any maintenance activities. This policy is crucial for ensuring that tenants have ample time to make alternative arrangements for their vehicles.

In order to stripe the parking spaces, it is essential that all spaces be clear of vehicles and other obstructions. This requirement can be particularly challenging to meet, given the diverse and often long-term nature of the parking arrangements. However, the store manager at this location did an outstanding job in coordinating with all tenants, ensuring that every parking space was empty and ready for line striping on the scheduled day. This level of coordination and tenant compliance is exceptional. Out of the hundreds of self-storage facilities we have performed work on over the last 20 years, it is very rare—even with 30 days' notice—to achieve complete clearance of all outside parking spaces for parking lot work. This successful coordination not only facilitated the smooth execution of the project but also set a high standard for future maintenance activities.

Where The Magic Happens (Go-Time!)

Upon finalizing the contract, the project moves into the scheduling phase. We keep our clients informed every step of the way through various communication channels, including email, text messages, and phone calls. For larger and more complex projects, we provide a detailed phasing diagram that can be shared with tenants to outline which areas will be temporarily closed, allowing them to make necessary arrangements for employees and deliveries.

Line Striping:

The line striping for parking spaces is measured and chalk lined for straight lines that are uniform.  Numbers are added as well for organization.

What Are The Risks Of Having The Wrong Pavement Contractor Scope Your Project?

POOR GUIDANCE LEADS TO WASTED BUDGET DOLLARS:

We believe in a holistic assessment of your pavement needs, offering a range of services tailored to the specific requirements of your asphalt.

Whether it's minor pothole repairs or complete pavement rehabilitation, we prioritize providing honest advice based on the actual condition of your asphalt.

Our commitment to understanding the true needs of your asphalt sets us apart in the industry, ensuring that your pavement receives the care and attention it deserves for long-lasting performance.

Your asphalt and concrete services represent a significant investment in your commercial property. When seeking estimates for asphalt or concrete projects, it's crucial to involve industry experts who can craft a customized scope of work that optimizes your budget and prioritizes your best interests over those of the contractors.

How Much Does Parking Lot Line Striping Cost In Brick, New Jersey?

Asphalt Paving in New Jersey can vary in cost depending on several factors such as:

• Size of the parking lot
• Condition of the existing striping (Are the existing lines and markings still visible or do they require chalk lining for restoration)
• Do prior stencils have to be blacked out prior to re-striping
• How many of each markings are there (ie: parking stalls, handicap stalls, arrows, no parking stencils)
• How many sections the parking lot has to be completed in 

*** In addition to the pricing above most line striping companies charge a minimum charge to cover mobilization, labor, profit and overhead.  For example, if your parking lot had 10 parking lines, 1 handicap and 2 arrows the minimum charge would be $500.00 - $1,200.00- (not $130.00 - $205.00).
