December 18, 2025

While I am working in commercial and multi family proprieties business. I saw several stripping and paving companies and thought about learning and exploring the striping and paving sector (e.g., asphalt paving, parking lot striping, sealcoating). Can anyone share key insights on market size, growth trends, and major players in this industry? What are the primary drivers of demand, such as infrastructure spending or commercial real estate cycles?

Hi ^redacted‌ - nice to meet you. I am always eager to share my insights into the business I've worked with: Most work comes from ongoing upkeep. Parking lots need restriping every 1-2 years and sealcoating every few years. Commercial and multifamily properties cannot avoid this, which creates repeat, predictable demand even when new construction slows. There are a lot of small operators serving specific regions. Property managers, HOAs, retail centers, and municipalities award repeat work to contractors they trust. Winning and keeping these relationships matters more than scale or branding. This is very, very important for new owner operators looking to get into this industry. Lastly, profitability depends on equipment utilization, crew productivity, and scheduling. Well-run operators make good money; poorly run ones struggle even in strong markets. We have a lot experience financing various companies via the SBA. If you ever need help talking through a deal, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pay us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you.You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/francodeguzman/30min. Look forward to chatting!
