How Much Does Parking Lot Striping Cost?

For most commercial parking lots, striping costs range from $3 to $8 per parking space for re-striping, depending on lot condition, paint quality, and scope of work. A typical 50-space lot might cost $250-$500 for basic re-striping, while complete new layouts cost more.

Paint Type
Premium paints last longer but cost 20-40% more. Epoxy costs significantly more but lasts 3-10 years.

Rush jobs or weekend/night work may cost more. Scheduling during optimal conditions helps ensure quality.
