Pavement marking is the cheapest maintenance on the property

Almost every problem we get called about starts with water. A crack lets water into the base, a Chicago winter freezes it forty times, and what was a hairline becomes a pothole and then a failed section. The work that actually saves money is sealing that crack in the autumn — not resurfacing in three years.

So we look at the surface before we quote the marking. If the asphalt is sound, you get a crack seal, a sealcoat and a fresh layout, and the lot looks new for a fraction of the cost. If the base has gone, we tell you that too, rather than selling you a coating that hides it for one season.

The marking itself is where the detail matters. Stall geometry decides how many cars you actually fit. Access aisle placement decides whether an accessible stall complies. Material choice decides whether a ramp line lasts one winter or five. None of that is visible in a quote total, which is why we itemise it.
