Parking Lot Striping in Clatskanie, Oregon: 2026 Service Guide

Parking Lot Striping in Clatskanie, Oregon

Clatskanie has more lots than a town its size might suggest, thanks to its Highway 30 position and the industrial activity around Port Westward. The school, the churches, the medical and civic buildings, the small commercial lots downtown, and the industrial and fleet yards out toward the river all need clear striping, ADA-compliant stalls, and legible fire lanes. Faded lines are a liability and an accessibility failure, and on a busy commercial or industrial lot they are a real traffic-flow problem.

Cojo Excavation & Asphalt stripes lots across Clatskanie and the wider Columbia County area from its Willamette Valley base. Whether you run a school lot, a church, a commercial property, or an industrial yard, the standards are the same and the requirements are real.

What Parking Lot Striping Costs in Clatskanie

Striping is priced per space for restriping or per linear foot for lines, curbs, and fire lanes. New layouts cost more because they include measurement and planning. The figures below are industry baseline ranges. Actual costs in today's market frequently run higher, especially for lots needing surface prep or full ADA reconfiguration.

Industry baseline ranges shown below. Actual costs vary and are often higher based on lot condition, layout complexity, paint type, and ADA scope.

Service	Industry Baseline Range
Standard restripe (per space)	$3.00–$6.00
New layout striping (per space)	$5.00–$9.00
ADA-compliant space (complete)	$200–$350 each
ADA access aisle marking	$75–$150 each
Fire lane curb painting (per LF)	$2.50–$4.75
Directional arrows / stencils	$25–$75 each

A small school, church, or commercial lot falls inside these baselines for a clean restripe, but adding ADA upgrades, fire-lane paint, industrial traffic markings, or a full new layout moves the total up. Our parking lot striping cost in Oregon guide breaks the numbers down further.

ADA Stalls and Access Aisles

Every public lot has to meet ADA requirements, and undersized or missing accessible parking is the most common compliance gap we find on small-town lots. The essentials:

• Accessible stalls must be at least 8 feet wide.
• Each needs an adjacent access aisle, 5 feet for standard and 8 feet for van-accessible.
• Stalls require the International Symbol of Accessibility on the surface plus post signage.
• The number of accessible spaces scales with total lot count, with at least one van-accessible space required.

Getting the access-aisle count and dimensions right is usually what determines whether a Clatskanie lot passes an accessibility review. We lay these out to current standards on any new layout.

Fire Lanes, Industrial Markings, and Curb Paint

Lots serving schools, churches, and assembly uses almost always carry fire-lane requirements from the local fire authority: painted curbs, no-parking markings, and legible fire-lane text. The industrial and fleet yards around Clatskanie often need additional markings, traffic-flow lanes, loading zones, and equipment staging areas, where clear striping keeps trucks and forklifts moving safely. Faded markings on a working lot are both a code issue and a genuine safety concern.

Paint, Wet Weather, and Timing

Striping depends on dry pavement and temperatures above roughly 50°F for the paint to bond and cure, and the Lower Columbia is one of the wetter parts of western Oregon. That puts the Clatskanie striping season from late spring through early fall, worked around genuinely dry stretches.

Water-based latex traffic paint is the standard for most lots and typically holds up 12 to 24 months, though constant moisture and heavy industrial traffic can wear lines faster. Higher-traffic and industrial lots, or those wanting longer life, can step up to more durable materials at added cost. For the fundamentals of how lines are laid and what makes them last, see our line striping basics guide.

Stripe After Sealcoat or Repaving

If you are planning to sealcoat or repave, do that first and stripe after. Fresh lines on old, oxidized asphalt will disappear under the next maintenance cycle, and in this rainfall that oxidation comes fast. A clean dark surface also gives the paint better contrast and adhesion. If your lot needs surface work first, our asphalt paving in Clatskanie guide covers the paving side.

Why a Regional Striping Contractor

Lower Columbia lots get overlooked because they are off the metro track. The contractor who serves Clatskanie should bring the right paint, proper ADA layout knowledge, and an understanding of both fire-lane and industrial traffic-flow needs. We stripe across Columbia County, including the larger market in nearby St. Helens, and we treat a small church lot with the same care as an industrial yard.
