Does Cojo install parking stencils across all of Oregon?

Yes. Cojo serves Portland metro, Salem/mid-Willamette Valley, Eugene/Springfield, Central Oregon, Southern Oregon, Eastern Oregon, and the Coast. Travel surcharges apply for sites outside the I-5 corridor.

How much does a parking stencil cost in Oregon?

Industry baseline runs $8 to $360 per stencil depending on type, paint, and region. Mobilization and minimum-trip charges of $250 to $1,200 apply depending on travel distance from the Willamette Valley base.

Do all Oregon parking stencils need to comply with ADA?

Yes. Federal ADA 502.7 applies to every commercial parking lot in the United States. The ISA pavement symbol must be 36-inch by 36-inch on every accessible stall, plus "VAN ACCESSIBLE" text where applicable.

What stencil paint works best in Oregon's climate?

Willamette Valley sites can use water-based for budget jobs but should use solvent-based or thermoplastic for fleet and commercial. Central, Southern, and Eastern Oregon should use UV-stabilized solvent-based or pre-formed thermoplastic.

When is the best time to install parking stencils in Oregon?

Pavement temperatures must be above 50 degrees F. Willamette Valley installs run April through October; Central Oregon late May through early October; Southern Oregon March through November; Eastern Oregon June through September.

Parking Stencil Installation in Oregon: Statewide Service Guide

Parking Stencil Installation Across Oregon

Cojo applies parking-lot stencils on commercial properties statewide across Oregon. Stencils include ADA International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), fire-lane "NO PARKING - FIRE LANE" text, "RESERVED", stall numbers, EV-charging icons, "STOP" and "YIELD" pavement words, and directional arrows. Every application follows MUTCD §3B for character proportion and pavement marking standards, ADA 502.7 for ISA placement on accessible stalls, and Oregon Fire Code Section 503 for fire-lane markings.

Below: where in Oregon we run, how regional climate (PNW wet vs Central Oregon freeze) shifts the paint and stencil call, and our default service scope.

What Stencils Does Cojo Apply?

Stencil Type	Typical Application	MUTCD / Code Reference
ADA International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA)	Every accessible stall	ADA 502.7
"VAN ACCESSIBLE" pavement text	Every van-accessible stall	ADA 502.7
Fire-lane "NO PARKING - FIRE LANE"	Every 50 feet of fire lane	Oregon Fire Code 503
Stall number (12-inch to 24-inch digits)	Multifamily, fleet, assigned	MUTCD §3B-21 Series C font
EV-charging green pavement icon	Every EV stall	SAE J3068, IEEE 2030.1.1
Directional arrow	Drive aisles	MUTCD §3B-22
"STOP" pavement word	Drive-aisle intersections	MUTCD §3B-20

Compact / Visitor / Carpool word	Stall-type designation	(no MUTCD spec - industry standard)

What Local Codes Apply Across Oregon?

Three layers of code apply statewide:

ADA 502.7 - 36-inch by 36-inch ISA pavement symbol on every accessible stall.
MUTCD §3B - Series C font for pavement-letter applications, character height-stroke specs.
Oregon Fire Code Section 503 (adopted statewide via Oregon Structural Specialty Code) - 18-inch-tall white "NO PARKING - FIRE LANE" text.

City and county overlays vary. Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, and Medford each apply their own land use codes that may add design-review requirements in historic districts.

How Does Oregon Climate Change Stencil Selection?

Oregon's regional climate variations drive paint and material selection:

Willamette Valley (Portland, Salem, Eugene, Albany, Corvallis)

Wet winters (40 to 47 inches of rain per year), mild freeze-thaw. Water-based paint works for budget multifamily and HOA. Solvent-based and thermoplastic are preferred for fleet and commercial.

Central Oregon (Bend, Redmond, Sisters)

High UV (5,800 to 6,000 sun hours per year), 30 to 40 freeze-thaw cycles per winter, snow plowing. UV-stabilized solvent-based, pre-formed thermoplastic, or inset thermoplastic preferred over commodity water-based.

Southern Oregon (Medford, Ashland)

High UV (5,400 to 5,700 sun hours per year), 95-plus-degree summer heat. UV-stabilized solvent-based or pre-formed thermoplastic preferred.

Eastern Oregon (Pendleton, La Grande, Baker City)

Cold winters (60 to 80 freeze-thaw cycles), dry summers. Cold-rated paint formulations and thermoplastic with cold-weather adhesive packages.

Coast (Astoria, Newport, Coos Bay)

Salt spray, frequent rain. Solvent-based and thermoplastic outperform water-based paint by 2 to 3 times in coastal exposures.

What Does a Cojo Statewide Stencil Install Include?

Standard scope:

Site survey: stencil count, location, color verification.
Pavement prep: pressure-wash and dry verify before paint application.
Layout: chalk-line and paint-pen position marks for each stencil.
Application: roller (water-based) or spray (solvent or thermoplastic).
Cure: 30 minutes water-based dry-to-touch, 5 minutes thermoplastic dry-to-touch.
Verify: clean lines, full coverage, correct positioning.

Industry Baseline Range

Component	Industry Baseline Range
ADA ISA pavement symbol (paint)	$75 to $180
ADA ISA pavement symbol (pre-formed thermoplastic)	$150 to $360
Fire-lane NO PARKING text (per 18-inch-tall mark)	$40 to $110
Numbered stall (12-inch, water-based)	$8 to $25
Directional arrow (paint)	$30 to $80
Reserved stall stencil	$8 to $25
Stop / yield pavement word	$70 to $180
Mobilization / minimum-trip charge	$250 to $1,200 (depending on region)

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

Oregon stencil pricing varies 5 to 15 percent across regions, with Willamette Valley as the baseline and travel surcharges adding to Central, Southern, and Eastern Oregon. 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 state-agency projects.

When Is the Best Time to Install in Oregon?

Stencil installs require pavement temperatures above 50 degrees F. Reliable install windows by region:

Willamette Valley: April through October.
Portland metro: April through October with winter weather windows.
Central Oregon (Bend): late May through early October.
Southern Oregon: March through November.
Eastern Oregon: June through September.
Coast: April through October with rain-window scheduling.

Cojo schedules around forecast windows year-round.
