Applying paint to fresh sealcoat requires the right timing and materials to ensure proper adhesion. Our experts coordinate closely with your sealcoating schedule to ensure your lot is striped accurately and opened to traffic as quickly as possible.

Re-Striping Over Sealcoat, FAQ
Common questions from property managers, contractors, and business owners.
- How much does parking lot striping cost in New York?
- Parking lot striping costs typically range from $500 for small lots to $2,000+ for larger commercial properties, depending on the number of stalls, linear footage, ADA requirements, and whether a full layout or re-stripe is needed. FC Pavement Markings provides free on-site estimates for all projects in the Clifton Park, Albany, and Hudson Valley NY area, we never give pricing over the phone without seeing your lot.
- How long does parking lot striping last?
- In New York, parking lot lines typically last 2–4 years depending on traffic volume, UV exposure, and the paint type used. High-traffic lots like shopping centers and apartment complexes may need restriping every 12–18 months. Lower-traffic lots can go 3–4 years between restripes. We'll give you an honest assessment of when your lot actually needs it, we don't push unnecessary work.
- How long does the striping process take?
- Most standard re-stripes take 2–4 hours for average-sized commercial lots. Larger properties or full layouts from scratch may take a full day or more. We schedule projects to minimize disruption; many jobs are completed early morning, overnight, or on weekends when your lot has the least traffic.
- Do I need to close my parking lot during striping?
- Usually no, but sections of the lot may need to be temporarily blocked off as we work through areas. We partition the lot in phases so your business stays open and customers always have access to some parking. For the fastest and cleanest results, completely empty lots are ideal. We can discuss the best approach for your specific property.
- How many ADA accessible stalls does my lot require?
- The number of required ADA stalls depends on total lot capacity. For example, lots with 1–25 total spaces require 1 accessible stall; lots with 26–50 spaces require 2; lots with 51–75 require 3. At least one van-accessible space is required in every lot. FC Pavement Markings works off of your existing layout or your engineered plans to ensure we're in compliance.
- Do you work on nights and weekends?
- Yes. We regularly complete projects overnight and on weekends for clients who need their parking lot operational during business hours. This is especially common for golf courses, retail centers, restaurants, and medical offices. Just let us know your scheduling needs and we'll accommodate them.
