Current Market Reality
Eugene-area pricing tracks Willamette Valley regional pricing. Pre-formed thermoplastic ISA prices rose 12 to 18 percent in 2025. Solvent-based traffic paint rose 8 to 14 percent. Add 5 to 10 percent for prevailing-wage city, county, and Lane Community College projects.
How Long Does a Eugene Stencil Install Take?
A 2-person Cojo crew applies 80 to 130 standard stencils per work day on standard sites. ADA ISA pre-formed thermoplastic adds 5 to 8 minutes per symbol. Smaller projects under 25 stencils carry minimum-trip charges of $250 to $500.
What Climate Considerations Apply?
Eugene averages 47 inches of rain per year and freezes 6 to 10 nights per winter. Two effects on stencil installs:
- Wet-season installs (October through April) require pavement-dry verification before paint application. Wet pavement reduces paint adhesion by 40 to 60 percent.
- Mild freeze-thaw rarely cracks stencil paint but accelerates fade on improperly cured applications.
Installs schedule freely from May through September. October to April installs schedule around weather windows.
