A hotel or motel lot is the first thing a guest sees and the last thing they touch before leaving — and it has to handle a surprising range of vehicles. Guests, staff, and sometimes valet all need parking; travelers arrive in RVs, with trailers, or towing boats; the lobby needs a drop-off zone; EV drivers look for charging stalls; and luggage carts roll between the cars. In Happy Valley, lodging serves travelers near the Sunnyside area and the Clackamas Town Center-adjacent commercial corridor, where proximity to shopping and I-205 access draws steady guest traffic.
Cojo Excavation & Asphalt stripes lodging lots so the guest, staff, and valet zones stay separate, oversized vehicles have room, the lobby drop-off and accessible route are clear, and the EV and cart paths are marked. This guide covers what that striping includes, what shapes the cost in Happy Valley, and when a refresh is due.
The markings sort a varied vehicle mix into clear zones:
A clean, well-zoned lot tells a guest the property is well run before they reach the desk. A faded, confusing one does the opposite.
Industry baseline ranges shown below. Actual costs vary and may run higher based on surface condition, paint type, lot size, oversized-stall and EV scope, and current market conditions.
| Service | Industry Baseline Range |
|---|---|
| Per-space restriping (existing layout) | $3–$6 per space |
| Full restripe, medium lot (50–100 spaces) | $550–$1,000 |
| New layout / redesign, medium lot | $900–$1,500 |
| ADA-compliant space (complete) | $200–$350 per space |
| EV-charging stall striping | priced per stall |
| Directional / cart-path arrows (each) | $25–$50 |
A guest-facing lot has to look cared-for. Surface prep — crack filling or a sealcoat before striping — affects both the impression and the price.
A standard guest lot is simple. Adding pull-through RV and trailer stalls, a tour-bus area, and EV-charging spaces adds oversized markings and clearances that increase the scope.
Refreshing accessible stalls and the lobby drop-off is routine; verifying full ADA conformance is a separate review worth doing on an older property.
A faded lodging lot undercuts the first impression and creates real friction: guests cannot find the oversized stalls, the EV spaces go unmarked, and the lobby drop-off blurs into the through-lane. Worn accessible markings fail guests who need them. Fresh, crisp striping presents a well-run property, keeps the varied vehicle mix orderly, and supports the lodging signage the district requires.
Most lodging lots benefit from a restripe every 18 to 24 months, with the lobby drop-off and entry lanes refreshed sooner because they take the most traffic.
The Portland-metro striping window runs late spring through early fall, when the pavement is dry and above 50°F. Hotels usually stripe in sections so guest access stays open, with each area cured before reopening — often timed around lower-occupancy midweek periods. Spring booking secures the best summer scheduling.
If your Happy Valley lodging lot has faded guest stalls, unmarked EV or oversized spaces, or a lobby drop-off gone gray, it is time for a refresh. See our overview of parking lot striping in Happy Valley and our full professional striping services.
