Church parking lots have specific requirements that other commercial lots don't. Sunday service and Wednesday-night events are non-negotiable — the lot needs to be open, dry, and ready every one of those mornings. Ministry budgets often need phased scopes so a full resurface can be split across two or three fiscal years rather than absorbed as one big check. And ADA-accessible parking matters here more than almost anywhere else, because older members, visitors, and members with mobility needs are core to the congregation.
Our church work is scheduled Monday through Friday, and we plan cure and reopen windows so every Sunday service has a fully open, striped, safe parking lot. On sealcoat and striping jobs we're often on-site Tuesday–Thursday with the lot fully reopen by Friday. On resurface jobs we phase the lot in halves so at least half is always open for Wednesday service.
Budget-wise, we're built for church cash flow. We routinely quote three-year phased maintenance plans — crack fill and sealcoat year one, striping and ADA compliance year two, patching and drainage year three — that spread the spend and hit priority items first. Church councils and finance committees get written scope, phase pricing, and a straight recommendation on what to do first.
ADA compliance in churches is where we spend a lot of our striping time. Older churches often have accessible spaces that were compliant long-term performance ago but don't meet current ADA-Accessible spec — access aisles too narrow, signage too low, slope out of tolerance. We bring current spec to every church re-stripe so accessible ministry stays accessible.
