Working in La Crosse

Between two hospital systems, three college campuses and the airport, La Crosse has more lots with rules attached to them than anywhere else on this end of the road. ADA stalls and access aisles go in at the federal dimensions on the shortest accessible route to an entrance, fire lanes get marked, and loading zones, permit rows and drop-off lanes have to read on the first pass for a driver who's never been there. Layouts get measured and chalked before paint, and a restripe over a sealed lot waits for the sealer to cure.

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 La Crosse

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

Restripe, existing layout

Per stall

Measured on site

  • Single line stalls, straight over the existing layout
  • Priced per stall, restripe or new layout

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 La Crosse

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 La Crosse

What La Crosse calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
That's two hours from Eau Claire. Do you actually come this far?
For commercial lots, yes. It's about 87 miles and right around two hours, down I-94 and then I-90. Send the address and what the lot needs and we'll set up a time to walk it. The estimate is free.
We manage several properties around town. Can they be looked at together?
Yes. Send the addresses and what you're seeing at each one, and they get walked and measured together. You get quantities and a number per property rather than a lump, so you can decide which ones go this year and which ones wait.
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 La Crosse 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 La Crosse

La Crosse is the seat of La Crosse County and the biggest city on this end of the road, about 51,000 people on the Mississippi where the bluffs come down to the river. It's roughly 87 miles from Eau Claire, right around two hours, off Exit 3 or Exit 2 on I-90. US 14, 53 and 61 and Highways 16, 33 and 35 all run through, and the regional airport sits on French Island at the north end of the city.

Health care and distribution hold the biggest lots. Gundersen Health System is on South Avenue with 325 beds and a 500,000 square foot critical care building, and Mayo Clinic Health System is on West Avenue South with a new six-level, 96-bed hospital and its center for advanced medicine. Kwik Trip's distribution center on Kwik Trip Way runs more than 360,000 square feet on a campus of about 90 acres, has been expanded five times since 1996, works around the clock and moves 33,000 pallets a day out to more than 566 stores. Trane was founded here in 1913.

The industrial ground is out at the interstate. Airport Industrial Park sits next to La Crosse Regional Airport at Exit 2, 21 filled lots over roughly 95 acres with warehouse and manufacturing users around it, and La Crosse International Business Park is north of I-90 off Highway 16 with five lots left between 1.15 and 3.4 acres. On the institutional side there are two public high schools, Central on Losey Boulevard South and Logan on Ranger Drive, plus UW-La Crosse on 128 acres, Viterbo on about 21, and Western Technical College's main campus on 7th Street North with four more buildings in the city. The city is promoting the River Point District, a mixed-use redevelopment on the waterfront.

La Crosse is the biggest city sitting entirely inside the Driftless Area. The ice never got here, so there's no glacial drift, the bluffs run up close to 600 feet, bedrock is at or near the surface, and the valley walls are colluvium.
