• Parking lot striping is one of the simplest yet important services Rabine Paving provides. Clearly marked stalls, handicap spaces, and directional arrows are a critical element in maximizing parking lot space and smoothing the flow of lot traffic. Ensuring that the striping is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act also lowers owner liability.

• At Rabine Paving we begin by making sure that the surface on which the markings will be placed is free of moisture, dust and debris. The presence of any of these will cause the paint to lose its adhesive properties prematurely and flake. The paint is then applied with particular attention paid to both the thickness of the paint and the width of the stripe so that precise and uniform lines result. Rabine Paving utilizes airless striping equipment, providing crisp, clean edges on our lines and reducing waste and pollution from overspray.

• Crack sealer is an elastic material designed to seal joints and cracks against this moisture infiltration into the subgrade. Subgrade moisture is one of the leading causes of pavement failure, so it is essential that asphalt cracking is attended to promptly in order to extend the life of the pavement and save money long-term. Typically, we recommend filling cracks and joints 1/4 inch or wide or greater.

• Rabine Paving uses both an oil-based paint application and a water-based paint depending on the season.  The water-based paint dries relatively quickly, usually  within 5 to 10 minutes of application, while the oil-based paint takes around 15 to 20 minutes to dry.  We can also add glass beads for reflective purposes if necessary.
