Season at a glance

What to expect through the year:

  • March: book early; pavement usually too cold
  • April–May: busiest time after plow season
  • June–August: long dry days, great for overnight jobs
  • September–October: ideal temperatures, less demand
  • November–February: interior floors and emergency touch-ups

Avoid the spring rush

If your lot can wait, fall striping often gets faster scheduling. If you need spring, book in February.

Night work

Summer nights stay warm enough for paint to cure, so overnight jobs keep busy lots open during the day.
