Straight Answers, Straight Lines.
-
We cover both sides of the state line — Springfield, Rincon, Pooler, Effingham County, and Savannah on the Georgia side, plus Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort, and Jasper County across in the South Carolina Lowcountry. If you're somewhere in between and not sure, just call. We'd rather tell you yes.
-
Yes. We carry general liability and commercial auto coverage, and we'll send you our Certificate of Insurance before we ever set foot on your lot — not after you ask twice. Georgia and South Carolina don't require a contractor's license for parking lot striping, but we run this like the licensed trade it ought to be.
-
No. When you hire By His Stripes, By His Stripes shows up. The same crew that quotes your job paints your job. No mystery trucks, no "our guy's running late," no finger-pointing if something's not right. You deal with us, start to finish.
-
It depends on the size of the lot, the condition of the existing lines, and what you need — re-striping an existing layout runs less than laying out a brand-new lot from scratch. ADA stalls, fire lanes, arrows, and stencils are priced separately. The honest answer is we won't guess at a number over the phone. We come look, measure, and give you a written estimate for free. No surprises on the invoice.
-
Always. Call 912.320.1404 or email bobby@lowcountrystriping.com and we'll get you on the schedule for a walk-through. You'll get the price in writing before any work — and before any deposit.
-
The water-based traffic paint we use is dry to the touch fast — often within an hour in good conditions. We still ask you to keep cars off fresh lines a bit longer to let them fully set, especially in heavy traffic areas or coastal humidity. We'll give you a clear "open back up" time before we leave, and we set out cones and wet-paint signs so nobody parks where they shouldn't.
-
Rarely. Most lots we can stripe in sections so you stay open for business, or we work after hours and overnight so your lot's empty and ready by morning. Retail and restaurants usually go overnight; churches and offices often work fine on a weekday or weekend. We build the schedule around your operation, not ours.
-
Yes — and it's often the smart move for a busy lot. After-hours and overnight work carries a modest upcharge since we're working off-hours, but it means zero disruption to your customers and a fully dry lot by open. We'll lay out the options when we quote you.
-
As a rule of thumb, every one to two years, depending on traffic and sun exposure. Down here the coastal sun and summer heat fade paint faster than most folks expect. If your lines are getting hard to see, your ADA markings are faded, or your lot just looks tired, it's time. Faded lines aren't just an eyesore — they're a liability if someone parks where they shouldn't.
-
Both. We re-stripe faded lots over the existing pattern, and we lay out brand-new lots from bare asphalt — maximizing your space, smoothing traffic flow, and keeping you compliant. New layouts, restorations of badly faded lots, custom stencils, curb painting — it's all on the menu.
-
Yes, and we take it seriously. ADA is federal law and the fines are steep — up to $75,000 for a first violation. We mark accessible stalls and access aisles to the correct widths, paint the blue ISA symbol, and document slope readings with photos before and after. If your current spaces aren't compliant, we'll tell you straight and fix it right.
-
We are, and the rules aren't the same on both sides of the line, which trips a lot of folks up. Georgia fire lanes are painted yellow; South Carolina requires red curb with "NO PARKING FIRE LANE" stenciled at set intervals. We know both, and we confirm the specifics with your local fire marshal before we paint so it passes inspection the first time.
-
The standards — white and yellow for stalls and traffic markings, blue for ADA, red for fire lanes — plus custom colors and stencils when you need them. Arrows, stop bars, loading zones, "NO PARKING," numbered stalls, you name it.
-
Yes to both, and it protects all of us. Every job gets a written agreement up front laying out the scope, price, and terms so there's no confusion later. We collect a deposit to lock in your spot on the schedule, with the balance due when the job's done. Everything's plain English — no fine-print games.
-
Paint and weather don't negotiate. We don't stripe in the rain, on a wet surface, or when rain's coming within 24 hours — it'll just peel and waste your money. If the weather turns, we reschedule you to the next good window. Spring and fall are our best striping seasons in the Lowcountry, but we work year-round when conditions allow.
-
It comes from Isaiah 53:5 — "by His stripes we are healed." We're a Christian-owned, veteran-owned, family-owned business, and that verse is the heart of who we are. The double meaning just happened to fit a striping company a little too well. By His stripes you're healed. By ours, you're guided.
