Curb Painting Scams

November 14th, 2008

You’re at home when suddenly there is a knock on the door. It is someone standing there asking if you’d like to have curb painting done in front of your home. They only want to charge you $25 or so and, since it seems like such a slight amount of money, you decide to agree to have the curb painting done and pay the fee. The person promises to put you in the books for tomorrow morning. But tomorrow morning comes and there’s no one there. What happened?

You have likely been scammed. There are a number of scam artists who have decided to start telling home owners or business people that they will be doing curb painting in their area and charge each home money. In one neighborhood they could earn a few hundred dollars or more, never letting on that they are scamming the people who live there. So how do you avoid this? To begin with, never agree to let someone who contacts you do your curb painting. Instead, go to someone that you trust and that you hire for your curb painting needs. This way you will never have to worry about being scammed.

Do Truncated Domes Need to be Brightly Colored?

November 12th, 2008

Is it really necessary to have truncated domes painted a bright yellow? After all, they are mainly designed to help those who are unable to see or have limited visibility. Some businesses wonder if it’s really necessary to paint the truncated domes yellow, or if any other color can be used, perhaps a color that will match the outside of the company and the building, or a color that will blend in better with the pavement or sidewalk.

While it’s not necessary to have truncated domes painted bright yellow, it is a good idea to have them painted a bright color. Truncated domes are meant for the disabled, but they are also in sight of those who can see as well. Painting truncated domes a bright color makes them easier to spot and makes it easier for those who are walking to not trip over the bumps of the domes. And those who have a harder time seeing but who can still see are better able to see visual cues are often able to see brighter colors easier than they are able to see those that blend in, making getting a brightly colored truncated dome a very good idea.

Parking Lot Striping As a Gift

November 10th, 2008

Are you looking for a unique Christmas gift that you can give someone? If you know someone who owns a business, one gift that you can give them is parking lot striping! It may sound a bit out of the box, but those are the best types of presents! Here’s how you can do it – first, contact a parking lot striping company that has competitive prices and that has a good reputation. Then, have them give you a free quote so that you can see how much money you’re talking about before you hire them on the spot.

It’s best if you can do this part when the owner of the property, the gift recipient, isn’t there, as their being there would ruin the surprise. If the amount suggested by the parking lot striping company is agreeable to you, explain that you want to give it as a gift and set up an agreement with the striping company. You may not be able to set up the exact date, but you can get something written down that you can give to the property owner so that they will know what you’ve given them for Christmas.

Parking Lot Striping in Winter Months

November 7th, 2008

Lots of property owners try to figure out if they should get their line striping done during the winter months or if they should wait until the spring months come again. If you were living and had a business in the northern part of the country, you would have to worry about frost heaves and other inconvenient forces of nature. Fortunately parking lot striping in Los Angeles and the surrounding area isn’t as much of a big deal. The frost heaves aren’t anywhere near as much of a worry as they are in the northern part of the country, and there’s actually a number of reasons why it is a good idea to get your striping done in the winter months rather than in the summer.

While it’s nice to have your parking lot striping done in the summer months as well, having the lines freshened up during the winter months allows you to cater to the holiday shoppers and also gives you the ability to have your parking lot looking spiffy in the spring when the weather starts to warm up again. You’re also much more likely to find a good deal on your striping if you contact a striper in the winter rather than in the summer.

Parking Lot Striping Maintenance and Saving Money

November 5th, 2008

Now that the country has made its decision as to who will be the next President of the United States, how should you be feeling? Are you feeling more secure about your business, or are you actually feeling more worried? If you’re feeling worried, you’ll be much more likely to not have many improvements done on your business, as you may be concerned about how your business will fare next year. A bit of worry, however, is no reason to put off your parking lot striping.

Parking lot striping isn’t just cosmetic, it actually keeps your parking lot orderly. Without the proper order, your customers will have a very difficult time avoiding hitting each other, and you may find that you have more disgruntled customers than happy ones. Even if you’re a bit worried about how things will work out for you financially next year, now is not the time to avoiding spending money on maintenance, which is exactly what parking lot striping is. Even if you’re trying to save money, make sure you are keeping up with the maintenance of your building and property, as it will help to keep the business worth money.
