Cojo applies parking-lot stencils on commercial properties across Bend, Redmond, and Deschutes County. Stencils cover ADA International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), fire-lane "NO PARKING - FIRE LANE" text, "RESERVED" markings, stall numbers, EV-charging icons, "STOP" and "YIELD" pavement words, and directional arrows. Every stencil application follows MUTCD §3B for character proportion and pavement marking, ADA 502.7 for ISA placement on accessible stalls, and Oregon Fire Code Section 503 for fire-lane markings.
Below: the Bend-area neighborhoods we serve, the City of Bend code we work to, the cold-weather paint and stencil swaps Central Oregon needs, and our default service scope.
Cojo's stencil and striping crew works across:
The Cojo crew applied 86 stencil markings at a Bend Industrial Area distribution facility in March 2026. Mix: 12 ADA ISA symbols, 28 numbered fleet stalls, 18 directional arrows, 24 "RESERVED" stalls, 4 fire-lane "NO PARKING" markings.
Three layers of code apply:
Deschutes County unincorporated sites apply Deschutes County Code Title 18 parking standards.
Three Central Oregon climate factors:
5,800 to 6,000 sun hours per year accelerates paint UV fade. UV-stabilized solvent-based or thermoplastic paint is preferred over commodity water-based paint. Water-based paint loses 30 to 50 percent of its visibility within 12 months on Bend exposures.
30 to 40 freeze-thaw cycles per winter accelerate paint chipping, especially on inadequately prepped pavement. We require pavement temperature above 50 degrees F at install and pre-cleaning to remove all dust and debris.
Plow blades scrape paint markings. Inset thermoplastic (recessed into pavement) and pre-formed thermoplastic outperform painted markings in plow zones.
Standard scope:
| Project Type | Typical Stencil Count | Typical Spec |
|---|---|---|
| ADA accessible stall ISA | 1 ISA per stall | Pre-formed thermoplastic |
| Fire-lane NO PARKING text | Every 50 feet of fire lane | 18-inch white solvent-based |
| Numbered stall (multifamily, fleet) | 1 per stall | 12-inch white water-based |
| EV-charging icon | 1 per EV stall | Green pre-formed thermoplastic |
| Directional arrow | 1 to 4 per drive aisle | White solvent-based |
| RESERVED stall | 1 per reserved stall | 12-inch white water-based |
| STOP / YIELD pavement word | 1 per intersection | 6-foot solvent-based |
| Component | Industry Baseline Range |
|---|---|
| ADA ISA pavement symbol (paint) | $90 to $180 |
| ADA ISA pavement symbol (pre-formed thermoplastic) | $180 to $360 |
| Fire-lane NO PARKING text (per 18-inch-tall mark) | $50 to $110 |
| Numbered stall (12-inch, water-based) | $10 to $25 |
| Directional arrow (paint) | $35 to $80 |
| Reserved stall stencil | $10 to $25 |
| Stop / yield pavement word | $80 to $180 |
| Mobilization / minimum-trip charge | $300 to $600 |
Central Oregon pricing runs 8 to 15 percent above Willamette Valley due to longer travel and UV-stabilized material premiums. Pre-formed thermoplastic ISA prices rose 12 to 18 percent in 2025. Solvent-based traffic paint rose 8 to 14 percent.
Stencil installs schedule freely from late May through early October when pavement temperatures stay above 50 degrees F. October through May installs require dry, above-freezing weather windows. Cojo schedules Central Oregon trips in 4 to 6-day blocks to amortize travel time across multiple sites.
Cojo applies parking-lot stencils to MUTCD §3B, ADA 502.7, and Oregon Fire Code Section 503 standards across Bend, Redmond, and Deschutes County. UV-stabilized paint and pre-formed thermoplastic spec for Central Oregon's high-UV exposure. Contact Cojo for a Bend stencil quote, or read our parking stencil guide for the full product overview.
