Commercial Paint Striping
Revitalize Your Business Exterior with Clear, Lasting Lines
At Fresco, we specialize in precise, high-quality commercial paint striping that keeps your property safe, organized, and looking sharp. Whether it’s a shopping center, office complex, warehouse, or industrial yard, fresh, well-defined lines make a strong first impression and guide traffic the right way. From parking stalls to fire lanes, every mark we paint is built to last in Houston’s tough weather.
Why Paint Striping Matters More Than You Think
A few months back, I was walking into a small strip mall in Houston. The parking lot looked like someone had taken a half-hearted swipe at painting lines five years ago and just called it a day. The stripes were faded, crooked in spots, and a couple of handicap spots had no visible paint left. You could see drivers hesitating, "Am I parked right?" and that hesitation is exactly what turns a smooth parking experience into a small daily frustration.
That’s when it clicked for me: paint striping isn’t just about paint. It’s about order, safety, and the first impression people have before they even step inside a business. And for commercial properties in Houston, where heat, rain, and heavy traffic work together to wear down those lines fast, keeping them clear is a constant job.
What We Do
We handle commercial paint striping for businesses all over Houston. That means:
Fresh parking lot lines that are straight, bright, and easy to see.
ADA-compliant handicap spots.
Fire lane markings that keep you in line with city codes.
Directional arrows and stop bars so traffic flows the right way.
Warehouse and industrial floor markings for safety and efficiency.
We work with:
Shopping centers
Office buildings
Churches
Schools
Hospitals
Industrial facilities
Apartment complexes
If it’s a commercial property and it needs clean, accurate striping, we’ve probably done one like it in your area.
Houston Weather Is Tough on Striping
If you’ve lived here a while, you know how the sun bakes everything. Add in heavy rainstorms and constant vehicle traffic, and it’s no wonder paint stripes fade so fast. In the summer, I’ve seen fresh stripes start to lose brightness in just a few months in high-traffic areas. And once they fade, you’re not just looking at a cosmetic issue; it’s a safety one.
For example, a business owner I know in the Energy Corridor called me after a small accident in their parking lot. A driver rolled past a faded stop bar without realizing it, and another car had to swerve. No one was hurt, but it was enough to make the owner rethink maintenance. That repaint cost him way less than dealing with a real accident would have.
How We Work
We don’t overcomplicate things. Here’s how it usually goes:
⚫ Site Visit & Walkthrough – We check the condition of your current markings and talk about what you need.
⚫ Plan & Layout – We measure, chalk, and prep so the lines are perfectly placed.
⚫ Painting – We use high-quality traffic paint designed for Houston’s climate.
⚫ Dry Time & Safety Checks – We block off the area until it’s fully ready.
⚫ Final Walkthrough – You see it, approve it, and we’re done.
We work around your schedule, evenings, weekends, even early mornings, so your business stays open and customers aren’t inconvenienced.
The Difference Between DIY and Professional Striping
Some folks think paint striping is just “painting lines.” I get it, it sounds simple. But I’ve seen the results of DIY striping, and it’s usually wobbly lines, uneven spacing, and paint that peels after a month.
One property manager in Midtown told me he rented a striping machine to save money. Two months later, the paint had faded badly, and the city inspector flagged his fire lanes for being out of compliance. He ended up paying for the job twice.
We use commercial-grade equipment, prep the surface right, and use paint with the right additives for Houston’s heat and rain. That’s why our lines last.
Safety and Compliance
In Houston, you can’t just paint however you want, there are city codes, ADA requirements, and fire lane standards. We keep up with all of that so you don’t have to.
This means:
Handicap stalls with correct measurements, blue paint, and signs.
Fire lanes painted in red with the right “No Parking Fire Lane” text.
Crosswalks and loading zones that meet safety requirements.
I’ve seen businesses get ticketed for non-compliant striping. It’s not fun. We make sure you’re on the safe side.
Serving Houston’s Businesses
We’ve worked in almost every part of Houston — from the busy streets around The Galleria to quieter spots in Cypress. Each area has its own challenges. In Downtown, you’ve got heavy foot and vehicle traffic that wears paint faster. In the suburbs, wide open lots mean you need lines that stay visible under bright sun.
We even did a job for a church near Pasadena right before Easter Sunday. They had over 300 cars coming in that morning, and the pastor told me later it was the smoothest parking they’d ever had. That’s the kind of result we aim for.
Why Businesses Call Us Back
It’s not just about the first paint job. We keep relationships going.

One property owner in Katy has called us every 18 months for the past 7 years. His lots always look sharp, and tenants love it.
Paint Removal & Re-Striping
Sometimes you’re not starting fresh — you’ve got old, peeling, or mismatched lines that need to go. We offer paint removal and re-striping services. This is common when:
A business changes layout
Old lines are confusing drivers
You switch from angled to straight parking
For warehouses, we can also remove old floor markings before putting in new safety lines.
How Often Should You Re-Stripe?
In Houston, most businesses repaint every 12–24 months. High-traffic lots or places with lots of turning (like drive-thrus) might need touch-ups sooner. The best way to know? Walk your lot and see if the lines are fading or hard to see at night.
I’ve had managers tell me they never noticed how bad it was until they saw the before/after photos.
