Working in Hudson

The county Government Center and Courthouse on Carmichael Road and the hospital on Stageline Road are public lots, so ADA stalls and access aisles go in at the federal dimensions and fire lanes get marked. The retail at Exit 2 is a different problem: a lot that fills off an interstate exit needs drive aisles a delivery truck can actually turn in. Out at the business park it's truck court layout more than car stalls, with trailer positions and the approach to each dock. Paint goes on chalked lines after the sealer has cured.

Layout first, then paint

Repainting existing lines is the easy half. The half that matters is whether those lines were right in the first place, and on a lot that's been restriped three or four times by different crews, they usually have drifted. Stalls narrow by an inch each time somebody paints beside the old line rather than over it, drive aisles shrink, and eventually a delivery truck can't make the turn. We measure before we paint. Sometimes that means telling you the layout you have fits fewer cars than the layout you could have, which is a conversation worth having before the paint goes down rather than after.

What Decides the Price in Hudson

Priced per stall for straightforward restripes, or as a lump sum where there's layout work, ADA work or a lot of detail.

New layout

Per stall, measured and set out

Measured on site

  • Where the layout has drifted or the use has changed

ADA stall with access aisle

Each

Measured on site

  • Stall, hatched access aisle and symbol
  • Signage and post priced separately if needed

Detail work

Arrows, fire lanes, numbers, crosswalks

Measured on site

  • Priced per item
  • Stencils and custom legends available

Striping done at the same visit as sealcoating costs less than striping done on its own, because the trip is already paid for and the surface is already right. If both are due, do both.

How the Work Goes in Hudson

Planned with you before the first stripe goes down.

Measure what's there

Stall widths, aisle widths, the accessible stalls and their aisles. This is where drift shows up, and it's a five-minute job that avoids repainting a layout that has quietly stopped working.

Clean the surface

Blown down. Paint over grit is paint that comes up with the grit, usually the first time a plow goes over it.

Lay out and chalk

Anything other than a straight restripe gets set out and chalked first, so you can look at it before it's permanent.

Paint

Traffic paint at the right film thickness. Thin paint looks the same on the day and is gone in a season, which is the striping equivalent of a thin seal.

Open it back up

Traffic paint is dry to walk on in under an hour. How long before cars go back on it depends on the paint and the weather that afternoon, so you get the real number that day.

Questions We Get in Hudson

What Hudson calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
We're in Hudson. Is that outside what you cover?
No. It's about 66 miles straight out I-94, right around an hour, and for commercial lots we come. Send the address and what the lot needs and we'll set up a time to walk it. The estimate is free.
How much does it cost to restripe a parking lot?
It is priced per stall, and the thing that moves it most is whether the old lines can be followed. A straightforward restripe over a layout that is still visible is the cheap end. A new layout costs more per stall because it has to be measured and set out from scratch. ADA stalls cost more than standard ones: they are wider, they carry an access aisle and they need the symbol and the signage.
How often does a lot need restriping?
Every one to three years in Hudson and the surrounding area, depending on traffic, plowing and sun. Lots that get plowed hard lose lines fastest, because the blade takes the paint with the snow. If your accessible stalls are hard to read from a car, it's due.
Do you handle ADA compliance?
We mark accessible stalls, access aisles and symbols to the required dimensions and can advise on stall counts and signage. We're a paving contractor rather than a compliance consultant, so for a formal audit you want a specialist, but for getting the markings right we do this constantly.
Should we seal before striping?
Yes, and in that order, at the same visit. Sealer covers existing lines, so striping first wastes the paint. Doing both together also costs less than two separate visits.
Can you do stencils, numbers and custom legends?
Yes. Arrows, fire lane markings, no parking, loading zones, reserved stall numbers, crosswalks and custom text.
Do you stripe anything other than parking lots?
Yes. We stripe running tracks and sports courts, which is measured layout work at a different level of precision. It's on our athletic surfaces page.

The Lots and Surfaces in Hudson

Hudson is the county seat of St. Croix County, a city of about 15,000 on the St. Croix River where I-94 crosses into Minnesota. It's about 66 miles west of Eau Claire, right around an hour. The interstate gives the city four ways in: Exit 2 at Carmichael Road, both WIS 35 interchanges, and the US 12 and County U exit. The city is inside the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro, and it's the last Wisconsin exit before the bridge.

Two things sit on Carmichael Road, the retail and the county. Exit 2 puts a Home Depot right at the interchange, with Prairie View Center, a multi-tenant retail and office property, up at Vine Street, and the St. Croix County Government Center and Courthouse is on the same road and has been expanded. Hudson Hospital and Clinic is a 25-bed critical access hospital on Stageline Road off that same exit, with two more buildings on the campus. Hudson High School is on Vine Street with about 1,700 students, and UW-River Falls runs a satellite campus in town.

The industry is out at Hanley Road and WI 35. St. Croix Business Park started there in the mid-nineties and markets large parcels for employment centers and distribution warehouses, and it holds a 640,000 square foot distribution center on about 64 acres at the corner of WI 35 and Hanley Road. Phillips-Medisize has its North American headquarters here, in a 180,000 square foot plant on the old St. Croix Meadows site. The older industrial pavement is on Industrial Street, about a mile off the interstate.

The glacial deposits under St. Croix County run from nothing at all where bedrock comes up to more than 450 feet in the buried valleys, with 5 to 150 feet the usual. They get deeper toward the west end of the county, which is the end Hudson is on.
