Cojo stripes parking lots, fleet yards, and small commercial pads across the 97818 ZIP code covering Boardman and the Port of Morrow industrial corridor in Morrow County. Boardman sits at I-84 exits 161 and 165 with the Columbia River to the north and the Port of Morrow's massive industrial footprint immediately east of town. Amazon data centers, Lamb Weston processing, Threemile Canyon Farms, food-processor lots, and trans-shipment yards all generate striping demand on top of typical small-commercial work. This page covers what striping looks like in 97818, what industrial scope adds, and what budgets actually run.
What 97818 Striping Work Usually Involves
Most striping calls in Boardman fall into a few patterns:
- Port of Morrow fleet yards: trans-shipment lanes, container-staging stripes, truck-yard layout
- Amazon data center visitor and employee lots: large-scale, code-compliant from day one
- Food-processor yards (Lamb Weston, others): truck-staging, fueling-zone hot-applied thermoplastic
- I-84 commercial frontage at exits 161 and 165: motels, fueling stations, retail
- Small downtown and city facility lots
- Boardman School District and the city government campus
This is one of the most industrial striping markets in eastern Oregon. The scale, the truck-traffic profile, and the corporate compliance standards on the larger tenants all push toward thermoplastic-on-heavy-traffic specs.
Climate and Stripe Life in 97818
Boardman sits at about 270 feet, on the Columbia River. Climate runs cold winters, hot summers, and dry overall. UV exposure is high; the lot-level traffic on industrial sites is heavy. Practical stripe life:
- Acrylic paint on busy fleet yard: 12 to 24 months
- Thermoplastic on heavy-traffic lanes: 5 to 8 years
- Paint stripe on smaller commercial lot: 2 to 4 years
The lifetime cost math on a heavy-traffic Port of Morrow facility favors thermoplastic on the hard-use areas. Property managers on the larger sites already know this; we bid to it as the default.
Our parking lot striping cost guide covers the paint-vs-thermoplastic math in more detail.
Industrial and Data-Center Specifics
Working data-center and food-processor facilities have requirements that distinguish them from typical retail striping:
- Wider stalls for service-vehicle and equipment-rig parking
- Dedicated loading-dock and trans-shipment-bay lines
- Hot-applied thermoplastic on truck approaches, fueling lanes, and stop bars
- Numbered or lettered stall callouts for facility inventory or security
- Numbered visitor stalls and clearly marked accessible routes
We bid to the spec the property manager runs by. If you do not have a spec, we work to current Oregon code with sensible defaults that hold up under heavy use.
ADA, Oregon Code, and Federal Coordination
Federal ADA applies on every commercial lot open to the public, including industrial-park visitor lots and tenant-employee lots. State of Oregon requirements track the federal model, with 2026 framework updates on EV-charger stall counts and van-accessible signage that we build to on new work.
Three watch-outs for 97818 striping:
- Verify EV-charger stall counts against the current Oregon framework, not legacy property memos. Data-center campuses tend to have high EV-charger counts.
- Federal coordination on any work touching the Port of Morrow footprint
- Tribal coordination on parcels touching the Umatilla Indian Reservation boundary or historic CTUIR homeland zones
Our ADA striping requirements in Oregon page covers current code in detail.
Sequencing With Sealcoat and Paving
Most Boardman commercial lots benefit from sequenced seal-and-stripe work. We seal first, cure 24 to 72 hours depending on weather, then stripe. On lots that were recently paved, the seal-and-stripe pass waits at least 30 days for the asphalt to finish outgassing.
For seal sequencing at the county level, see our Morrow County sealcoating page.
How Cojo Builds 97818 Jobs
We are based in Hood River and run a planned eastern-Oregon production route. Boardman sits roughly 80 miles from our yard via I-84, making it one of the closest cities on our eastern route. Mobilization is relatively low, and we run frequent production windows here.
On site we run paint or hot-applied thermoplastic based on lot use, with thermoplastic standard for fueling lanes, stop bars, and high-tire-rub stencils on industrial yards.
For broader county-level coverage, see our Morrow County striping page.
Industry Baseline Range for Boardman Striping
Pricing in 97818 reflects lot scale, thermoplastic-versus-paint specifications, and the realities of operating in an industrial-heavy market. Below are industry baselines for the scopes we see most often.
Industry Baseline Range
| Project Type | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Small lot restripe (under 30 stalls) | $500 to $1,800+ |
| Mid restripe (30 to 100 stalls) | $1,400 to $4,500+ |
| Large industrial yard restripe | $5,000 to $35,000+ |
| Data-center or large commercial campus | $8,000 to $80,000+ |
| New layout on fresh asphalt | $1,800 to $9,500+ |
| Thermoplastic stop bars, arrows, lane markings | $200 to $1,200+ per location |
| ADA upgrade pass (per lot) | $1,200 to $5,500+ |
Current Market Reality
Baseline ranges assume usable surface and a workable layout. In 97818, three factors push toward the upper end. Heavy thermoplastic specs on industrial yards. Phased application on operational facilities (you cannot close a working data-center lot for a full pass; we sequence by zone). Corporate compliance specifications on the larger tenants that exceed Oregon baseline.
Why Property Owners in 97818 Call Us
We run an established eastern-Oregon route. We have done industrial-yard and data-center campus work. We build to current Oregon code and to corporate-spec requirements when those exceed code. We sequence with sealcoat and paving when that is the right call. And we document every ADA decision in writing so the property file supports the audit when it happens.
