Working in Sparta

The county courthouse, the hospital on West Main and the city's own lots are public, so the ADA stalls and access aisles go in at the federal dimensions and the fire lanes get marked. In South Pointe the striping is usually a first layout rather than a restripe, and a first layout is where you find out how many stalls the lot actually holds and how a delivery truck gets in and back out. Layouts get measured and chalked before paint.

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 Sparta

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

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 Sparta

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 Sparta

What Sparta calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
How far down I-90 will you come for a lot?
Sparta is about 77 miles from Eau Claire, an hour and twenty minutes on I-94 and then I-90, 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 Sparta 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 Sparta

Sparta is the seat of Monroe County and its largest city, about 10,000 people at Exit 25 on I-90, roughly 77 miles from Eau Claire. Highways 16, 21, 27 and 71 all come through, and Fort McCoy, a 60,000-acre Army training installation, sits between here and Tomah. The 1895 courthouse is downtown and the newer commercial ground is on the south side, where I-90 meets Highway 27.

South Pointe Business Park is the big one: 180 acres at the I-90 and Highway 27 junction with fully improved lots from 1.5 to 80 acres, opened in 2018 and built out through a second phase that put in streets, storm sewer, water mains, hydrants and curb and gutter. The state certifies 114.4 contiguous acres there with 94 developable, industrially zoned, with community stormwater retention on each parcel and no wetlands or floodplain. The city bought close to 200 acres for it after the east side park filled, and a health and wellness building is the newest lot going in at South Pointe.

The employers named for Sparta are Century Foods International, Northern Engraving on South Black River Street, Spartek, Mathews on River Road, McPherson Guitars and a U.S. Silica sand operation. Mayo Clinic Health System's hospital is downtown at 310 West Main Street, a critical access hospital with 25 beds and outpatient surgery, radiology and rehab, and the St. Clare Health Mission shares the building. Fort McCoy runs more than 1,400 training events a year with about 450 military and 2,500 civilian people working on post, and the city describes it as a significant part of its economy.
