Parking lot striping

Parking Lot Striping Estimate Template (Free)

Short answer

A parking lot striping estimate needs standard stalls counted at a per-stall rate, ADA stalls priced separately because they cost several times more, linear footage for crosswalks and curbs, stencils and arrows itemized, and a mobilization fee — with a note stating whether it's a re-stripe or a new layout.

The line that saves the argument

Itemizing the parts a customer can’t see is what makes the total defensible. A single lump sum invites haggling; a breakdown invites a question you can answer.

Skipping the copy-paste

A blank template works until you’re doing it between jobs. Invoicing software with your rates saved builds this in one tap, attaches a payment link, and keeps the deposit and balance on the same record.

Frequently asked questions

Why price ADA stalls separately?

Because they run several times a standard stall — blue paint, the wheelchair symbol, access aisle striping, and signage. A blended per-stall rate either overcharges the standard stalls or undercharges the ADA ones.

Should mobilization be on the estimate?

Yes, on every job. Loading and hauling the striper costs $150–$350 before you paint a line. Without that line, small lots are unprofitable and big lots look overpriced.

Re-stripe or new layout?

State which. A re-stripe follows existing lines; a new layout requires measuring, chalking, and often a drawing for approval — several extra hours that need to be visible in the price.
