Bowman Parking Lot Striping And Seal Coating operates a local Van Nuys office, giving San Fernando Valley property owners a licensed asphalt contractor with intimate knowledge of Valley conditions — Van Nuys Boulevard’s high-traffic commercial corridor, the Van Nuys Airport area’s industrial facilities, Sherman Way retail centers, and the dense mix of auto dealerships, medical offices, warehouses, and HOA properties throughout the Valley.
The San Fernando Valley’s heat-trapped geography creates some of the harshest parking lot conditions in Southern California. Valley temperatures regularly reach 100°F+, UV exposure is intense without coastal moderation, and the constant thermal cycling from hot days to cooler nights accelerates pavement cracking and paint degradation faster than coastal LA properties. Our materials, equipment, and maintenance schedules are calibrated specifically for Valley conditions — not copied from a coastal contractor’s playbook.
We provide parking lot striping, ADA compliance striping, fire lane marking, seal coating, and crack filling throughout Van Nuys and the Valley. Call our Van Nuys office directly at (818) 930-5859 for same-day quotes and flexible scheduling around your business operations.
Van Nuys is part of the City of Los Angeles and is governed by the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC), Chapter VIII, Division N for off-street parking requirements. See our California parking lot codes guide for the full LAMC reference and all 39 cities we serve.
Our Van Nuys Parking Lot Services
We handle every phase of commercial parking lot maintenance from a single licensed contractor — eliminating the coordination burden and accountability gaps that come with using multiple vendors.
🏁 Parking Lot Striping & Re-Striping
New layouts, re-striping of faded lines, directional arrows, crosswalks, loading zones, and custom stencils. Commercial airless striping equipment and traffic-grade UV-resistant paint designed for Valley heat and sun exposure. Lines stay visible 12–18+ months longer than standard paint.
Full Striping Services →♿ ADA Compliance Striping
Accessible space layouts meeting California CBC Title 24 — which is stricter than federal ADA on multiple dimensions. Proper ISA symbols, van-accessible designation, correct access aisle widths, and 60-inch minimum sign heights. LADOT actively enforces ADA in Los Angeles — non-compliance starts at $4,000 per violation.
ADA Striping Services →🔴 Fire Lane Striping & Compliance
LAFD-compliant red curb painting, “NO PARKING — FIRE LANE” stenciling per California Fire Code § 503, and vertical prohibition signage. The Los Angeles Fire Department actively cites Van Nuys properties. Daily accumulating fines begin immediately upon citation. We provide emergency re-striping for properties with active citations.
Fire Lane Services →⬛ Seal Coating
Commercial-grade asphalt emulsion seal coating protecting Valley parking lots from UV oxidation, vehicle chemical spills, and thermal stress. Two-coat application. Valley properties should seal coat every 18–24 months due to extreme UV intensity. All seal coating is coordinated with full re-striping as a single project.
Seal Coating Services →🔧 Crack Filling
Hot-pour rubberized crack filler that remains flexible through Valley temperature extremes — not rigid filler that re-cracks within a season. Crack filling before seal coating is essential. Ignoring cracks leads to water infiltration, base failure, and reconstruction costs of $4–$8/sq ft versus $0.50–$3.00/lin ft for crack filling today.
Crack Filling Services →⚡ EV Charging Striping
California requires EV-ready spaces for new construction and major renovations. Proper EV space designation, accessible EV charging for disabled drivers, van-accessible EV stalls where required, and compliant signage. Valley properties adding charging infrastructure need exact Cal Green and LAMC-compliant markings.
EV Charging Striping →🚦 Pavement Markings & Signage
Directional arrows, stop bars, speed bumps, crosswalks, curb addresses, tow-away zones, and custom stencils. Sign installation at correct mounting heights using .080″ aluminum with Type IV prismatic sheeting — required for ADA signs in California. All markings to current LAMC and MUTCD standards.
Pavement Markings →🛑 Wheel Stop Installation
Concrete wheel stops protecting curbs, landscaping, and building facades from vehicle damage throughout Van Nuys properties. Properly installed wheel stops also contribute to ADA compliance by preventing vehicles from encroaching on accessible routes and sidewalks.
Wheel Stop Installation →🏢 Property Management Programs
Multi-property portfolio maintenance for property management companies and HOAs throughout the San Fernando Valley. Coordinated scheduling across properties, tenant notification and communication, volume pricing, and detailed written documentation for your compliance records after every project.

ADA Compliance in Van Nuys & Los Angeles
California’s CBC Title 24 imposes stricter accessibility requirements than federal ADA on many dimensions. Los Angeles — including Van Nuys — is aggressively enforced through both LADOT inspections and serial plaintiff litigation. A single ADA parking violation under the federal ADA (42 U.S.C. § 12101) and the Unruh Civil Rights Act starts at $4,000 minimum per violation with no prior notice required. Average lawsuit settlements in LA County run $25,000–$75,000 including attorney fees.
Los Angeles allows residents and visitors to report non-compliant businesses via MyLA311, triggering LADOT inspections. Van Nuys properties with high foot traffic — Auto Row, Sherman Way retail, medical offices near Valley Presbyterian — face elevated reporting risk. See our ADA lawsuit prevention guide →

Our Van Nuys Project Process
Every Bowman project follows the same disciplined process whether it’s a 20-stall strip mall or a 400-space shopping center on Van Nuys Boulevard.
Free On-Site Inspection & Written Estimate
We visit your Van Nuys property, assess pavement condition, measure existing markings, verify ADA counts, and check fire lane compliance. You receive a fully itemized written estimate — materials, scope, and pricing — before any commitment. Same-day quotes available for Valley properties.
Layout Design & Compliance Planning
For new layouts or ADA upgrades, we design a parking configuration meeting LAMC stall dimensions (8.5 ft × 18 ft minimum), drive aisle widths (24 ft two-way minimum), correct ADA space counts, and fire lane clearances. We identify every compliance issue before paint touches pavement.
Surface Preparation
We clean the entire surface before marking — power blowing debris and loose aggregate. If seal coating or crack filling is part of the project, it is completed in proper sequence before striping. Paint applied over a dirty surface or over uncured seal coat fails prematurely. We never skip preparation.
Professional Striping & Marking Application
We use commercial airless striping machines with laser-guided layout systems ensuring mathematically precise lines. Traffic-grade paint with UV inhibitors and glass bead reflectivity is applied at proper film thickness. See our equipment and methods →
Compliance Verification & Documentation
Before leaving we verify ADA dimensions, fire lane clearances, and sign heights with the owner or property manager. We photograph the completed project. Written documentation is provided for your compliance records — critical protection if you receive an ADA demand letter or fire marshal citation.

Choosing a Van Nuys Contractor — 5 Red Flags
The San Fernando Valley has dozens of unlicensed “truck and bucket” striping operations that target commercial properties. Here’s what separates a professional contractor from a liability risk.
🚫 No Written License Verification
Any contractor performing striping work in California must hold a valid CSLB license. Unlicensed work leaves you with zero recourse if quality is poor or damage occurs. Always verify at cslb.ca.gov. Verify our CSLB #1138257 →
🚫 Verbal-Only Estimates
A contractor who won’t provide a written itemized estimate with specific materials, scope, and pricing cannot be held accountable. Verbal quotes expose you to scope creep and quality disputes. We provide fully itemized written estimates before any work begins.
🚫 No Insurance Certificate
If an unlicensed or uninsured contractor damages your property or a worker is injured, you may bear liability. Always request a Certificate of Insurance before any work begins. We are fully bonded and insured — certificates provided on request.
🚫 Wrong ADA Dimensions
A contractor who doesn’t know California’s CBC Title 24 ADA standards will stripe non-compliant spaces that still expose you to $4,000+ per violation. Confirm they know the difference between federal ADA and CBC Title 24 requirements before hiring.
🚫 No Documentation After Work
Without post-project photos and written records, you have no evidence of compliance if you receive an ADA demand letter or fire marshal citation. We photograph every completed project and provide written documentation for your records.

Van Nuys Parking Lot FAQs
Call our Van Nuys office at (818) 930-5859 or see the complete FAQ →
Most Van Nuys commercial lots need restriping every 12–18 months due to the Valley’s intense UV exposure and high traffic volumes. High-traffic retail and restaurant properties on Van Nuys Boulevard or Sherman Way may need annual restriping. Lower-traffic office and industrial properties can extend to 18–24 months. The test: if you can read all your lines and symbols clearly from a standing position, they’re acceptable. If they’re fading, you’re accumulating liability. See our restriping frequency guide →
The number of required accessible spaces is based on your total stall count. For most commercial lots: 1–25 total = 1 accessible · 26–50 = 2 · 51–75 = 3 · 76–100 = 4 · 101–150 = 5 · 201–300 = 7. Of every 6 accessible spaces, 1 must be van-accessible. Medical and healthcare properties on Valley Presbyterian or Encino Hospital campuses require 10% of patient spaces to be accessible. California also requires more accessible spaces per lot than the federal minimum. Full ADA compliance guide →
Van Nuys properties fall under LAFD jurisdiction. Fire lanes must be marked with red curb paint and “NO PARKING — FIRE LANE” stenciling per California Fire Code § 503. Minimum 20-foot clear width must be maintained at all times. LAFD patrols commercial properties and cites violations with daily accumulating fines. Properties near Van Nuys Airport and along industrial corridors face heightened inspection frequency. Fire lane compliance guide →
Yes — we schedule around your operations. Many Valley retail and restaurant properties require evening or weekend work. We can also stage projects section-by-section to keep portions of your lot accessible during business hours. Auto Row dealerships, medical offices, and shopping centers on Sherman Way regularly schedule off-hours projects with us. Call (818) 930-5859 to discuss scheduling options. Project scheduling guide →
If your asphalt is in good structural condition but oxidized (gray, brittle-looking), seal coating before re-striping is highly recommended and cost-effective. Fresh seal coat creates a deep black surface that makes new stripes dramatically more visible and helps paint last longer. Valley heat accelerates oxidation — most Van Nuys properties benefit from combined seal coat and stripe projects every 2 years. If your pavement has structural damage (potholes, alligator cracking), seal coating alone won’t fix it. See our seal coat vs. resurfacing comparison →
Act immediately — do not ignore it. Contact your commercial insurance carrier and a California ADA defense attorney. Fix all cited violations as fast as possible and document everything. A CASp inspection can provide legal protection under SB 1608 if completed before litigation. Our CASp preparation services and corrective striping can be completed quickly.
