For parking lot striping Arlington TX property managers trust, C & D Commercial Services has been the trusted name since 1981. Arlington is a driving city. With no public transit system and a population that relies entirely on personal vehicles, your parking lot isn’t just a convenience — it’s how your customers, tenants, and employees reach you. When lines fade, stalls become ambiguous, and ADA compliance slips, you’re dealing with liability, frustrated drivers, and code violations that can surface during a property inspection.
For professional parking lot striping Arlington TX property managers trust, C & D Commercial Services has been striping commercial lots since 1981. We’ve painted fresh lines at retail centers along Cooper Street, restriped medical office lots near Arlington Memorial Hospital, and laid down thermoplastic markings at properties that absorb AT&T Stadium game-day overflow. We know what holds up in this city because we’ve been working in it for over four decades.
A retail center near The Parks Mall or along Collins Street sees a different kind of wear than an industrial lot off SH-360. We adjust our approach based on what your property actually deals with.
Retail and restaurant lots along Cooper Street take a steady beating — shopping carts, delivery trucks, constant turning traffic. Standard acrylic traffic paint holds up for about 18 months in these conditions before sun and tire wear fade it past the point of usefulness. For lots closer to the Entertainment District, where traffic spikes dramatically on event nights, we often recommend high-build paint or thermoplastic markings that can take the extra punishment without wearing out mid-season.
Industrial properties are a different situation entirely. Lots that accommodate semi-trucks, trailer staging, and loading dock traffic need striping that survives diesel spills, heavy loads, and constant turning. We use solvent-based paint on these surfaces because it bonds tighter to asphalt and resists the chemical breakdown that regular paint can’t handle.
Medical offices and professional buildings along Matlock Road need clean, professional striping that signals quality to patients. Faded lines in a doctor’s office parking lot make patients question the care inside before they even walk through the door.
We start by walking the property with you. We check the existing line condition, look for drainage issues that could affect how paint adheres, and flag any ADA compliance gaps — missing access aisles, incorrect signage, stalls that don’t meet current Texas Accessibility Standards.
Then we prep the surface. That means blowing off debris, power cleaning areas with oil or grease stains that would prevent paint from bonding properly, and laying down chalk lines for the layout. If it’s a restriping job and the original layout was done correctly, we follow the existing lines. If it’s a new layout or the old one was wrong, we measure every stall, aisle, and access aisle to code before any paint goes down.
The striping itself is done with an airless striping machine that applies paint at consistent width and thickness. For thermoplastic jobs — which we recommend for high-traffic areas — we use a melt-in applicator that fuses the material directly to the asphalt. Thermoplastic lasts three to five times longer than paint and holds up under conditions that would strip regular paint in months.
When it comes to parking lot striping Arlington TX properties rely on, we also handle fire lane striping to Arlington Fire Department specifications. If you’ve ever had a fire marshal visit your property, you know they don’t compromise on fire lane markings. We stripe to their requirements — the red curb standard, the NO PARKING FIRE LANE stenciling, the width requirements. Done right the first time.
ADA striping isn’t just about painting a blue symbol on the ground. Learn more about ADA compliance requirements on the official ADA website. Texas requires van-accessible spaces with 96-inch wide access aisles, signage mounted at the correct height, and specific slope requirements on the path from parking to your building entrance. If your lot was striped more than ten years ago, there’s a real chance it doesn’t meet current standards. The rules have changed over the years, and a lot of older commercial properties in Arlington were never brought up to date.
We bring lots into compliance. That means restriping accessible spaces to the correct dimensions, adding or widening access aisles, installing proper signage, and making sure the route from the parking lot to your entrance is accessible. If you’re not sure whether your lot is compliant, we’ll walk it with you and tell you straight — no pressure, no upsell, just an honest assessment.
We don’t put prices on a website because every lot is different — size, condition, existing layout, whether you need restriping or a full new layout, whether thermoplastic makes sense or standard paint will do. What we can tell you is this: we’ve been buying striping paint and materials from the same DFW suppliers for over 40 years. Those relationships mean we get better material pricing than smaller contractors who buy in smaller quantities, and we pass that along. Property managers who compare our quotes with competitors typically find we come in lower — often by a meaningful amount.
Call us for a free estimate. We’ll walk your lot, measure it, and give you a straightforward number with no games attached.
Do you work around stadium events?
Yes. If your lot is anywhere near AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, or Six Flags, we know you can’t shut down on event days. We schedule striping overnight, early morning, or on non-event days so your lot stays open when you need it.
What's the difference between paint and thermoplastic?
Standard traffic paint is what most lots use. It’s cost-effective, goes down fast, and lasts 18 to 24 months in Arlington conditions. Thermoplastic is a fused material that bonds to the asphalt at a molecular level. It costs more upfront but lasts three to five times longer, which makes it worth it for high-traffic areas or lots where you don’t want to restripe every year and a half.
Can you bring my lot up to ADA code?
Yes. We assess your current layout, identify what doesn’t meet current standards, and restripe to comply with both ADA and Texas Accessibility Standards. Usually that means reconfiguring accessible spaces, adding or widening access aisles, and installing the right signage.
Do you handle fire lane striping?
Yes, to Arlington Fire Department specifications. Fire lane striping has specific requirements for curb marking, stenciling, and width. We handle the whole thing so you pass inspection.
