ADA Compliance services for commercial lots.
Done right.
ADA Compliance Striping & Painting
ADA-compliant parking lot striping is required for most commercial properties in South Carolina. Proper layout, striping, signage, and access aisles are not optional—they are enforced under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and routinely cited during inspections, property transfers, and tenant complaints.
Carolina Premier Services provides ADA parking lot striping and compliance corrections for commercial properties throughout Spartanburg County and Greenville County, helping owners reduce liability and pass inspections.
Why ADA Compliance Matters
ADA-compliant parking lot striping and ADA-compliant signs are required for most commercial properties in South Carolina. Proper layout, striping, signage, and access aisles are not optional—they are enforced under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and routinely cited during inspections, property transfers, and tenant complaints.
ADA Parking Requirements
While every property is different, ADA parking lots generally require:
-
Correct number of accessible spaces based on total parking count
-
At least one van-accessible space when required
-
Proper access aisle width and striping
-
High-contrast pavement markings
-
Clearly visible striping and layout
Accessible spaces must be located on the shortest accessible route to the building entrance and remain unobstructed at all times.
This will differ from Fire Lane Striping, which follows local code from Fire Marshals and Fire Departments.
Common ADA Striping Violations We Fix
Property owners often fail inspections due to:
-
Faded or missing blue and white striping
-
Incorrect access aisle dimensions
-
Missing or poorly placed access aisles
-
Improper spacing between ADA stalls
-
Reconfigured parking lots that were never re-striped
We routinely correct these issues during re-striping and layout adjustments.
Who Needs ADA Parking Lot Striping?
ADA compliance applies to most:
-
Medical offices
-
Churches
-
Retail centers
-
Office buildings
-
Industrial facilities
-
Apartment complexes
-
Schools and daycare facilities
If the property is open to the public or has employees, ADA compliance is almost always required.

ADA PARKING LOT STRIPING COMPLIANCE
Are ADA parking spaces required for commercial properties in South Carolina?
Yes. Most commercial properties in South Carolina are required to provide ADA-compliant parking spaces. This includes proper striping, access aisles, spacing, and layout that meet federal ADA standards. These requirements are commonly enforced during inspections, property sales, and tenant changes.
How many ADA parking spaces are required?
The required number of ADA parking spaces depends on the total number of parking stall in the lot. As parking lot size increases, additional accessible spaces are required, including van-accessible spaces when applicable. Improper space counts are a common inspection failure.
What causes a parking lot to fail an ADA inspection?
Common reasons include faded or missing striping, incorrect access aisle widths, improper spacing between accessible stalls, missing van-accessible spaces, and parking lot layouts that were modified but never re-striped. Even small striping errors can result in violations.
Do ADA parking spaces need to be restriped regularly?
Yes. ADA markings must remain clearly visible at all times. In South Carolina's climate, many parking lots require ADA restriping every 12-24 months, depending on traffic volume, surface condition, and exposure to sun and weather.
Who is responsible for ADA parking compliance?
The property owner or property manager is responsible for maintaining ADA-compliant parking areas. This includes ensuring striping, layout, and access aisles remain visible, correctly sized, and properly located.
