About Striping
Introduction
Commercial properties aim to present an appealing image that attracts customers and patrons. A key factor that contributes significantly to this image is the condition of their parking lots. Parking lots that are well-maintained, properly laid out, and conveniently marked contribute positively to the overall business image. This is where the attention to asphalt striping comes into play. Asphalt striping, or better known as parking lot striping, enhances not only the aesthetic appeal but also the functionality and safety of commercial property parking spaces.
Understanding Striping
Striping, primarily referred to as parking lot striping, involves the process of painting lines and signage onto the surface of a parking lot. This marking method provides clear directions for drivers to navigate around the parking lot safely. It delineates parking spaces, fire lanes, handicapped spots, and other critical areas. Parking lot line striping companies, with their trained parking lot striping contractors, use specialized equipment and comply with local regulations to do the task effectively.
The Striping Process
Striping may look like a simple paint job, but the process involves planning, prep work, and specific techniques. The striping process usually begins with a thorough cleaning of the parking lot surface. Following this, a layout is carefully planned considering the parking lot’s size and the number of required spaces. If any previous striping paint exists, it might require asphalt stripping – a process to remove the old paint before applying new lines. Once the lot is ready, striping and sealing, or the painting work, begins. The lots are then left to dry as per the recommended time before they can be reopened for use. Experienced parking lot striping contractors can ensure a smooth, efficient process that minimizes disruption to business operations.
The Importance of Striping and Sealing
Regularly sealing and striping asphalt parking lots offer numerous benefits. First, it enhances safety by clearly marking pedestrian walkways, proper parking spaces, and driving lanes. It also ensures compliance with regulations, like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires specific signage and markings. Furthermore, well-planned parking lot line striping can maximize space utilization, enabling more vehicles to park. Good quality sealing and striping also increase the lifespan of the parking lot by protecting the asphalt against wear and tear, weather damage, and oil leaks.
Finding Quality Striping Services
The key to achieving an efficiently striped parking lot is to engage the services of professional parking lot striping contractors. While looking for ‘asphalt striping near me’, consider factors like the contractor’s experience, customer reviews, services offered and pricing. Reputable companies provide extensive services from paving striping, seal and stripe, to repair and striping. Affordable striping and sealing are possible with contractors offering competitive rates and high-quality services at the same time.
Benefits of Hiring Professional Striping Services
Parking lot paving and striping, when done by professionals, comes with numerous benefits. Pro service providers possess the right tools and expertise that enables them to deliver high-quality work within tight deadlines. They also have a thorough understanding of the regulations and standards related to parking lot markings, ensuring your commercial property remains compliant. Furthermore, with professional asphalt striping companies, you can expect minimal business disruptions, and a clean finish that ultimately leads to satisfactory customer experiences.
Investing in Quality Sealing and Striping
Quality sealing and striping can cause a significant impact on the longevity and usability of your commercial property’s parking lot. An adequately striped and sealed lot can withstand harsh weather conditions, car traffic, and human activities. This entails fewer repair costs down the line. Moreover, striping that is visually pleasing and efficient contributes to a better customer experience. Thus, finding asphalt sealing and striping near your vicinity is an investment worth considering.

About Mount Clemens, Michigan
History
Mount Clemens was first surveyed in 1795 after the Revolutionary War by Christian Clemens, who settled there four years later. Clemens and his friend, John Brooks, built a distillery, which attracted workers and customers, helping to settle the area. Brooks and Clemens platted the land, and the town was named after Clemens in 1818. It received a post office in 1821, with John Stockton as the first postmaster. Christian Clemens is buried at Clemens Park, located just north of downtown.
Indian mounds were in the vicinity, more specifically just north of the Clinton River near the present location of Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
The settlement filed for incorporation as a village in 1837, but this was not acted upon by the legislature until 1851. It was incorporated as a city in 1879. It became the seat of Macomb County on March 11, 1818.
The Mount Clemens Public Library opened in 1865.
Historically, Mount Clemens’ largest industry for more than 100 years, from 1873 to 1974, was tourism related to the mineral baths, drawn from springs that were scattered throughout the city. Such mineral baths were very popular and were tourist destinations. At the peak of the industry, the city had 11 bathhouses and several hotels related to this trade. The first bathhouse was built in 1873 and was known as “The Original”; it was located on the corner of Jones and Water streets. The bathhouse burned in 1883, but it was rebuilt even larger the following year to accommodate the crowds of customers. Over the years, noted visitors such as film actors Clark Gable and Mae West, athletes Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey, news magnate William Randolph Hearst, and the wealthy Vanderbilt family vacationed in the city to take advantage of the mineral springs baths.
The only remaining bathhouse building from this era is St. Joseph’s Sanitarium and Bath House. It has recently been renamed as Select Specialty Hospital and is owned by Select Medical Corporation. This last bath house is in danger of being demolished, but the Friends of Historic Preservation are working with the city to preserve it.
The Olympia Salon & Spa, located in the Martha Washington Sanitarium on Cass Avenue, is again offering mineral baths.
From about 1898 to 1950, the Mount Clemens Sugar Company operated, processing sugar beets into refined sugar.
Throughout the late 20th century, the suburban expansion of metropolitan Detroit and its exurbs affected the city of Mt. Clemens as well as its surrounding townships.

In an attempt to raise funds to combat a $960,000 budget deficit for 2010, former Mayor Barb Dempsey solicited donations to the city’s general fund from tax-exempt organizations like churches, schools and a hospital, in order to pay for services like fire protection, streetlights and roads. The city already disbanded the 113-year-old police department in 2005 to cut costs. The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office now provides primary policing services in Mount Clemens. The deficit is projected to reach $1.5 million in 2011.
