Cojo runs striping crews into the 97003 zip -- Aloha, the unincorporated section of Washington County between Beaverton and Hillsboro along the Tualatin Valley Highway. The local work is mostly commercial: TV Highway retail corridor lots, apartment-complex parking, shopping center perimeters, and a steady mix of small-business lots that need ADA compliance and EV-charger stall mapping. Pricing depends on stall count, prep needs, and lot complexity, but most local jobs land within the published baseline range below.
Striping Work in Aloha -- The Local Picture
Aloha is dense and busy. TV Highway is one of the highest-traffic east-west arterials in Washington County, and the retail and apartment lots along it see daily turnover, frequent re-stripe needs, and meaningful wear from delivery vehicles and shopping carts. The 97003 footprint covers the corridor from roughly 185th west to about 209th, plus the residential side streets and small commercial pockets north and south of TV Highway.
The retail tenant mix is heavy on grocery, convenience, fast food, and Hispanic-market specialty retail. That drives specific striping needs: high-turn drive-through queue lanes, ADA stall compliance audits when tenants change, and clear fire-lane markings that satisfy Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue. Apartment-complex work is its own category -- visitor stalls, residential stalls, ADA, EV charging, and the occasional reserved-tow-zone marking.
Washington County and the city of Beaverton both have jurisdictional overlap in Aloha. ADA enforcement follows Oregon ORS 447 and the federal 2010 ADA Standards. Re-striping a lot that was last marked under older rules often surfaces compliance gaps that need to get fixed during the re-stripe, not deferred to the next cycle.
Striping Scopes We Run in 97003
The most common Aloha jobs:
- Full retail re-stripe -- complete lot re-marking, usually with an ADA audit and EV stall layout review.
- Apartment complex re-stripe -- mix of resident, visitor, ADA, and reserved stalls; often requires staged work to maintain access during the job.
- Fire-lane re-mark -- red curbs and fire-lane stencils for TVF&R compliance.
- EV charger stall layout -- new EV stalls or re-marking existing ones with the required signage and ground stencils.
- New-install striping -- post-paving or post-sealcoat striping on new or refreshed surfaces.
Aloha lots run larger than what we see in small Polk County towns; a typical Aloha retail center has 80 to 300 stalls, and apartment complexes can run 200 to 600 spaces with mixed use types.

Current Market Reality
The published ranges assume a paved, clean surface, a single mobilization, and a standard waterborne traffic paint spec. Aloha jobs that need surface degreasing, oil-spot priming, or fresh sealcoat before stripe run above the baseline. Thermoplastic line work for heavy-wear retail entries costs significantly more per linear foot than waterborne paint but lasts 3 to 5 times longer in high-traffic positions. Paint and material prices have moved over the last several seasons; quotes older than 30 to 60 days should be re-validated.
Portland Metro Striping Window
The Portland metro climate gives Aloha the same striping window as the rest of Washington County. Paint needs 50 degrees F surface temperature and rising, dry weather for 4 to 24 hours depending on product, and 24 hours of cure before heavy traffic. The dependable window is May through October, with shoulder days in late April and early November when forecasts cooperate. We schedule Aloha lots in May-June to beat the peak summer demand on contractors and to give the lot a full summer of clean stripes before the rainy season returns.
Night work is common on busy TV Highway lots that can't shut down during business hours. We run night crews with portable lighting on lots that operate 7 days a week.
ADA and EV Compliance on Aloha Lots
The two compliance areas that catch property managers most often in 97003:
ADA stalls. Oregon and federal rules require a specific count of ADA-accessible stalls based on total stall count, plus the right mix of standard and van-accessible spots. The access aisle must be 5 feet wide (8 feet for van-accessible), and the ground stencil must include the international symbol of access. Signage is required at each stall head. A faded ADA stencil is a compliance gap, not a maintenance issue.
EV charging stalls. Oregon law and many Washington County zoning codes now require EV stalls in new construction and some retrofits. The stalls need their own ground markings (typically green outline plus an EV stencil) and signage indicating charging-only use. Mismarking these can create accessibility and enforcement headaches.

Picking a Striping Contractor in 97003
What to check before you sign:
- Oregon CCB license -- required by law, verifiable on the state website.
- Paint and material spec -- waterborne, oil-based, or thermoplastic, with application rate.
- ADA and EV stall audit included -- the quote should call out compliance review explicitly.
- Night-work option -- if your lot can't close, the quote should price both day and night options.
- Insurance -- general liability and workers' comp coverage.
- Mobilization plan -- for a single Aloha lot, mobilization is folded into the bid; ask what coordination options exist.
