Frequently asked questions

What if cars are left in the lot?

We stripe around them and return for those areas, or coordinate towing with you if that's your policy.

Yes. We won't paint on wet pavement and will move the job to your backup date.

Do I need to be there?

No. We send photos and a walkthrough summary when done.
