PARKING LOT
Everything Your Lot Needs, Clearly Marked
From new installs to full repaints, Clintar handles every marking your commercial parking lot requires, applied with professional-grade traffic paint built to last through Canadian seasons.
Parking Stall Lines
Straight, evenly spaced stall lines that maximize your lot’s capacity and keep traffic flowing. We paint standard, compact, and oversized stalls to suit your site layout.
Fire Lane Markings
Bright, clearly delineated fire lanes that meet municipal fire code requirements, keeping emergency access routes open and your property protected from liability.
Accessible Parking Stalls
Compliant accessible stall markings including the International Symbol of Access (ISA), access aisles, and signage placement sized and positioned to meet provincial and national standards.
Directional Arrows
One-way and turn arrows that guide drivers through your lot safely, reduce conflict points, and cut down on fender-benders in busy commercial settings.It’s all about safety, appearance, and longevity.
Stop Bars & Crosswalks
Clearly painted stop bars, pedestrian crosswalks, and speed bump markings that protect foot traffic and meet safety standards for commercial and industrial sites.
Curb Painting
Yellow or red curb painting for no-parking and no-stopping zones, loading areas, and fire hydrant clearances.
Canadian Accessibility Requirements
Accessible parking isn’t optional. Commercial property owners across Canada are required to provide a minimum number of accessible stalls, marked to specific dimensions and paired with proper signage. Getting it wrong means fines, complaints, and costly retrofits.
Clintar’s crews are trained on current Canadian accessibility standards, including the National Building Code of Canada and provincial accessibility legislation such as the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). When we mark your lot, we make sure it’s right.
How Often Does Your Lot Need Repainting?
Most commercial parking lots in Canada need a full repaint every one to two years. If your lot sees heavy traffic, harsh winters, or regular sweeping, you may need to refresh critical markings especially fire lanes and accessible stalls annually.
What Affects the Timeline
Winter & Salt Exposure
Canada’s freeze-thaw cycle and road salt are the biggest accelerators of line fade. Plowing operations drag abrasive material across painted surfaces repeatedly through the season, stripping paint faster than foot traffic ever could. High-snowfall regions typically need repainting every spring.
Traffic Volume
A retail centre with hundreds of daily vehicle movements will wear through markings far faster than a low-traffic office lot. High-volume areas like drive-through lanes, loading zones, and fire lanes may need touch-ups mid-season.
Pavement Condition & Age
Older, oxidized asphalt is more porous and absorbs paint unevenly. Cracked or patched pavement causes lines to break up faster. Pavement in good condition holds markings significantly longer.
Sweeping & Pressure Washing
Regular lot sweeping and pressure washing extend pavement life but create friction on painted surfaces. We coordinate your marking schedule with other maintenance cycles so you’re not painting over a freshly washed lot or repainting after every deep clean.
Paint Quality & Application
Not all traffic paint is equal. Clintar uses professional-grade, fast-dry traffic paint formulated for Canadian climates. Proper application ensures your markings last as long as possible before the next repaint cycle.
Line Painting Is Just the Starting Lin
Crisp markings look their best on a clean, well-maintained lot. That’s why Clintar’s line painting service is designed to work alongside our full parking lot maintenance program.
Property managers who bundle their parking lot services with Clintar get a single point of contact, coordinated scheduling, and the peace of mind that every part of their lot is being looked after.
Parking Lot Cleaning & Litter Control
Our uniformed crews clear garbage, leaves, and loose debris from pavement, curbs, and sidewalks keeping your site neat, professional, and welcoming for staff and visitors alike.
Parking Lot Sweeping Services
Industrial power sweepers clear sand, gravel, and salt buildup from parking surfaces. Regular sweeping reduces wear on asphalt, prevents drainage issues, and extends pavement life.
Pressure Washing & Deep Cleaning
We use high-pressure surface washers to remove oil stains, gum, mould, and salt damage, perfect for concrete parkades or asphalt lots that need a refresh.

Frequently asked questions about clintar
It depends on your total stall count and property type. Under the National Building Code of Canada, most commercial properties must provide at least one accessible stall for every 25 regular stalls, with a minimum of one accessible space regardless of lot size. Healthcare facilities, retail centres, and publicly accessible buildings often have higher requirements. We review your lot against applicable provincial standards before we paint.
If your property is in Ontario, yes, The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act sets out specific requirements for parking facilities, including stall dimensions, access aisle widths, surface slopes, signage, and proximity to building entrances. Other provinces have their own accessibility legislation with comparable standards. Clintar’s crews are trained on current requirements across the provinces we serve, and we flag non-compliant configurations before applying any markings.
Non-compliant accessible parking can result in municipal orders to remedy, complaints to provincial accessibility bodies, and in some cases, fines. More importantly, it creates barriers for people who rely on those spaces. If we find your lot is non-compliant during our site assessment, we’ll walk you through exactly what needs to change and how we can fix it as part of your repaint.
Most commercial parking lot markings last one to two years under normal Canadian conditions. Winter maintenance is the biggest factor in accelerating fade. High-traffic areas like fire lanes, stop bars, and accessible stalls tend to wear faster and may need touch-ups annually. Clintar uses professional-grade traffic paint designed for Canadian climates to get the most mileage out of every application.
Spring is the ideal time once snow and salt are cleared and temperatures are consistently above 10°C. Paint needs dry pavement and moderate temperatures to cure properly. Clintar coordinates spring line painting with our lot sweeping and inspection cycle, so your lot is clean, assessed, and freshly marked before peak season traffic picks up
In most cases, we can paint directly over existing faded markings without full stripping, provided the pavement surface is in good condition and the new layout matches the old one. If you’re changing your stall configuration, adding accessible spaces, or correcting a non-compliant layout, we’ll assess whether surface prep or blackout painting is needed first.
Yes. We work with property managers to schedule painting during low-traffic windows; early mornings, evenings, or weekends to minimize disruption. For large lots, we can section off areas and paint in phases so the whole lot is never out of service at once. Just let us know your operational constraints when you request a quote.
Both. We’re happy to handle a one-time spring repaint, but most of our clients include line painting as part of a broader annual parking lot maintenance program. Bundling services means better coordination, fewer scheduling headaches, and a single point of contact for everything outside your doors. Ask us about building a custom plan for your property.
