To begin
Private lots easier
public right-of-way brings DOT/MUTCD rules
Parking lot striping can be a real B2B business when private-lot restripes repeat. Raw paint margin can look great, but layout mistakes, ADA rules, equipment, insurance, night work, and rework decide owner pay. The squeeze is the professional equipment stack plus the first trained helper before contracts repeat.
Before you lean on it
Treat private-lot restripes as the starter lane. ADA layout and local paint rules come first; public-road work waits until permits, traffic control, DOT specs, and MUTCD rules are understood.
