Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements for ADA compliant parking spaces?
ADA compliant parking spaces must follow 2010 ADA Standards, including proper width for accessible and van-accessible stalls, correct access aisle dimensions, and signage at appropriate heights. At We Do Stripes, we ensure every marking meets federal guidelines to keep your property compliant and accessible.How does asphalt sealcoating protect my parking lot?
Sealcoating creates a protective barrier that prevents oxidation, UV damage, and water intrusion, which are the primary causes of asphalt deterioration. It also enhances curb appeal and extends pavement lifespan by shielding the surface from weather and vehicle wear.When should I schedule sealcoating for my asphalt?
Sealcoating is most effective within the first year after asphalt installation, then every two to three years thereafter depending on traffic and climate exposure. In Joplin's variable weather, regular maintenance helps prevent cracking and water damage before costly repairs are needed.What's the difference between concrete and rubber parking blocks?
Concrete blocks are durable and permanent but heavier to install, while rubber and high-density plastic blocks are lighter, easier to reposition, and absorb impact better. At We Do Stripes, we help you choose based on site needs, traffic patterns, and accessibility compliance requirements.How do you remove old pavement markings without damaging asphalt?
We use controlled grinding and blasting methods that remove paint and thermoplastic while protecting the underlying pavement surface. This careful approach prepares the area cleanly for new markings without compromising asphalt integrity or creating uneven surfaces.
