When is the Best Time to Restripe Your Parking Lot in Colorado?
Colorado's unique climate presents both opportunities and challenges for parking lot maintenance. With our dramatic temperature swings, intense UV exposure, and unpredictable weather patterns, timing your restriping project correctly can mean the difference between a job that lasts for years and one that needs touch-ups after the first winter.
After 15+ years of providing professional parking lot striping across Colorado's Front Range, Mountain Lot Striping has learned exactly when to schedule projects for maximum durability and cost-effectiveness.
Optimal Striping Seasons in Colorado
Best Months: May through September

Ideal Conditions for Striping
- May-September: Perfect temperatures, low humidity, and minimal precipitation make this the premium time for Mountain Lot Striping to deliver quality work across the Front Range
- Early Morning Advantage: Our team starts early to ensure quality work throughout the season, completing projects before peak temperatures
