Stripes removal pricing?

[Ron Musgraves]

I removed the Stripes on and entire Mall, Arizona Mills. I rented a machine to remove them. 6 Nights, with a pressure washing around two months.

I think you found out why you do test spots on that type of work before pricing the job. it makes a profitable job unprofitable when you have to use expensive chems you didnt count on.

You always need to do test spots so you see what chemicals you need if any, how long it could take or to see if you need to try something else.

I have had lines that came up with just pressure, I have had some that barely came off with several applications of airplane stripper, heat, pressure and a turbo.

Striping paint is usually tough and durable, that is what it is designed for.


Back to the stripe hog, it is too expensive for a lot of people to purchase but they have a minimum mobilization fee of about $2500 and then about $0.50 per linear foot of 4" stripe and they get all the paint off without damaging the concrete or asphalt. Wish they made a version a lot smaller.

I did a test spot which came off very easy with the turbo, but there are obviously different multiple layers of paints all over the floor. One side chips off very easy, the other stays unless I etch the concrete. It is only 20-25 parking spots, so nobody with special equipment would come for that little.

Try a scraper they make them with long handles. it might help to get the acumulated layers up then use paint stripper or go rent a shot blaster.
