Wheel Stop Installation in Beaverton, Oregon: Cojo's 2026 Service Guide

A wheel stop in Beaverton needs three things to last: an anchor matched to the substrate, placement that respects ADA Section 502, and a material that handles Tualatin Valley freeze-thaw without spalling. Cojo installs concrete and recycled-rubber wheel stops across Beaverton retail centers, office parks, and HOA lots, with same-week scheduling on most jobs and a written warranty on every install.

Why does Beaverton need wheel stops more than most Oregon cities?

Beaverton has the highest density of community shopping centers in Washington County, and most of them were built between 1995 and 2010 when the original wheel stops were 6x6x72-inch unreinforced concrete units anchored with single 18-inch spikes. After two decades of freeze-thaw cycles and snow-plow contact, those units crack, drift out of position, or get knocked loose. The U.S. Access Board confirms accessible parking spaces must keep their geometry intact at all times to remain compliant (access-board.gov, ABA Standards 502), which is why a faded or shifted wheel stop in an ADA stall is a citable violation, not a cosmetic problem.

Which Beaverton neighborhoods does Cojo cover?

Cojo's wheel stop crew covers the full Beaverton service area, with the most projects in:

• Cedar Hills and Cedar Mill — community shopping centers, medical-office complexes
• Murray Hill and Five Oaks — HOA condo associations, multi-tenant retail
• Beaverton Town Square corridor — Canyon Road retail, Lombard Avenue mixed-use
• Tanasbourne and Bethany — Big-box retail, fleet yards, light-industrial
• Raleigh Hills and Garden Home — older retail strips on the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway
• Aloha — community schools, retail, multi-family

If your address is inside the City of Beaverton, unincorporated Washington County within the urban growth boundary, or the Tigard-Beaverton border area, the same crew covers you.

What wheel stop materials work best in Beaverton's climate?

Beaverton sits in the Tualatin Valley with roughly 40 inches of annual rainfall and a freeze-thaw count that rises every winter. The two materials that hold up are reinforced concrete and recycled rubber.

Material	Lifespan	Best for
Reinforced concrete (6x6x72)	20 to 30 years	High-traffic retail, fleet yards, ADA stalls
Recycled rubber (durometer 70)	12 to 15 years	HOA, medical office, freeze-thaw zones, LEED projects
Plastic	5 to 8 years	Temporary striping, low-priority lots

We do not install unreinforced cast concrete in Beaverton anymore. The freeze-thaw failure rate after year ten is too high to justify the lower material cost.

How does Cojo anchor wheel stops on Beaverton parking lots?

The anchor system depends on the substrate, which is the single most common spec mistake we see when we audit a competitor's install:

• Asphalt substrate — 18-inch galvanized steel spike through the unit into the asphalt, with a steel sleeve at the surface. We use Pl Premium adhesive as a backup bond on units that take heavy bumper contact.
• Concrete substrate — 5/8-inch rebar pin set into a hammer-drilled hole with two-part epoxy. Cure time is 24 hours minimum at 50 degrees F or warmer.
• Asphalt over concrete (older Beaverton lots) — we core through the asphalt to set the rebar pin into the concrete below, then patch the asphalt around the unit.

OSHA's general industry standard for walking-working surfaces (OSHA 1910.22) requires fixed barriers in commercial parking areas to stay anchored under the loads they were specified for. A wheel stop that walks out of position after one season is a liability problem before it is a maintenance problem.

What are Beaverton's local code requirements for wheel stops?

Beaverton follows Washington County and ODOT roadway standards for off-street parking. The relevant references are:

• Beaverton Development Code (BDC) Chapter 60.30 — off-street parking, stall depth, and accessible-stall provisions follow the Oregon Structural Specialty Code, which adopts the federal ADA Standards by reference.
• ODOT roadway design specs — for projects on or affecting state-controlled rights-of-way like Canyon Road or TV Highway. ODOT publishes engineering design standards that Beaverton inspectors reference for parking-lot interfaces (oregon.gov/odot/engineering).
• Federal ADA Standards Section 502.3 — access aisle width and connection-to-route requirements that wheel-stop placement must respect (ada.gov, 2010 ADA Standards).

A wheel stop placed inside the access aisle, even by an inch, fails compliance. A wheel stop placed too close to the head of the stall pinches bumper overhang and reduces stall depth below the 18-foot minimum BDC 60.30 requires.

How much does wheel stop installation cost in Beaverton?

Industry Baseline Range

Scope	Per-unit installed
Single rubber wheel stop, asphalt anchor	$80 to $160
Single concrete wheel stop, asphalt anchor	$90 to $180
Single concrete wheel stop, concrete substrate	$110 to $220
Bulk job (50+ units, retail center)	$65 to $140 per unit
Heavy-duty fleet-yard unit (8x6x84, deep-spike)	$180 to $300

These figures reflect published industry averages. Current market pricing varies significantly and actual quotes may fall well outside these ranges based on site-specific conditions, material costs, and project complexity.

Current Market Reality

Beaverton 2026 install pricing has drifted above industry baselines for three reasons. Fuel and disposal fees on Tualatin Valley jobs run roughly 20 to 30 percent higher than Willamette Valley averages because of haul distance to the Hillsboro transfer station. Insurance for crews working active retail lots tracks higher because of pedestrian-pedestrian and vehicle-pedestrian exposure. Concrete material itself rose again in early 2026. Bulk jobs in the 50-plus-unit range still produce real per-unit savings, which is why we ask Beaverton property managers to bundle multiple lots into a single mobilization whenever schedules allow.

What does a Cojo wheel stop install look like in Beaverton?

Three recent reference jobs from our Beaverton work:

• Cedar Hills shopping center, March 2026 — 14,000-square-foot lot, replaced 28 cracked concrete units with 6x6x72 reinforced concrete on rebar-pin anchors. Coordinated with the property manager to clear two stall rows at a time, kept the lot operational through a Saturday open-to-public schedule.
• Murray Hill HOA condo association, February 2026 — 62-stall residential lot, installed recycled-rubber units on the asphalt substrate with a galvanized-spike anchor. Replaced eight previously broken units, restriped the visitor stalls in the same mobilization.
• Tanasbourne fleet-yard tenant, January 2026 — 22 heavy-duty 8x6x84 concrete units on a deep-spike asphalt anchor. The previous units were six years old, three were cracked, the rest were uneven from forklift contact. New install accounts for delivery-truck swing radius.

For commercial striping in Beaverton on the same mobilization, the wheel stop crew and the striping crew coordinate so the stall lines are not cut off-square against the new units.

What's next?

If you want a quote, send the lot address, the stall count, and a photo of the existing wheel stops if they are in place. We respond within one business day with a written estimate. For background on the product itself, the wheel stops buyer's guide covers material choice and anchor systems in more depth, and wheel stops vs parking blocks clears up the regional naming question if your spec sheet uses one and your invoice uses the other. Lots in Beaverton that also need bollard installation in Beaverton can be bundled into the same crew day.
