Quick Answer

Pavement markings cover everything that isn't a stall: crosswalks, stop bars, lane arrows, school-zone markings, fire lanes, custom directional symbols, and accessible-route markings. The right markings install in thermoplastic or high-build traffic paint depending on traffic volume, surface, and budget — and the right markings keep pedestrians and drivers in their lanes.

Service Details

What this service includes

Every project from Maisano Brothers Inc. covers the work that makes the result last.

Layout and template work

We lay out crosswalks, arrows, stop bars, and custom symbols with templates and field-marked lines before any material goes down.

Thermoplastic installation

Heated thermoplastic crosswalks, stop bars, arrows, and symbols, applied with embedded glass beads for night-time reflection.

Traffic-grade paint

High-build traffic paint where thermoplastic is over-spec — repaint cycles, temporary markings, and lower-traffic surfaces.

School-zone and crosswalk markings

Ladder-style crosswalks, yield triangles, school-zone markings, and pedestrian symbols to the visibility standard the property requires.

Fire-lane edges and directional arrows

Continuous yellow fire-lane edges, no-parking diagonals, and directional arrows to keep traffic and emergency access organised.

Is This Right For You?

When this service makes sense

  • You are installing a new crosswalk or rebuilding a faded one.
  • Drivers are missing a stop sign because the stop bar is invisible.
  • You need school-zone or pedestrian-crossing markings to current standards.
  • Your fire-lane markings have faded and need to be repainted to satisfy the fire marshal.
  • You're repaving a lot and want crosswalks, arrows, and symbols installed once the new surface has cured.

Our Process

How we deliver this service

A clear, proven sequence from first call to finished project.

  1. 1

    Site walk and layout plan

    We walk the lot, mark proposed markings, and confirm specs for crosswalks, stop bars, arrows, and symbols.

  2. 2

    Written estimate

    We provide a clear estimate by marking type and material.

  3. 3

    Surface prep

    Existing markings are cleaned or removed; surface is dry and clean before application.

  4. 4

    Application

    Thermoplastic is heated and applied; traffic paint is sprayed or rolled at the proper film build.

  5. 5

    Walkthrough

    We walk the finished markings with you to confirm placement and visibility.

Quality & Craftsmanship

Materials, equipment, and quality

The standards and details that separate work built to last from work built to look finished.

Thermoplastic where life-cycle matters

Thermoplastic costs more up front and lasts five to seven times as long as paint. We recommend it for crosswalks, stop bars, and high-traffic symbols where the cycle pays back.

Beads embedded, not sprinkled

Reflective glass beads are dropped into hot thermoplastic so they bond — not sprayed on top. That's what keeps the marking reflective for years instead of one season.

Templates, not freehand

Arrows, school-zone symbols, and crosswalk geometry use templates so the markings match the spec — not whatever the painter could draw that day.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does a thermoplastic crosswalk last?

A properly installed thermoplastic crosswalk on a sound asphalt surface lasts five to seven years before it needs recoating, vs. one to two years for traffic paint.

Can you paint over existing crosswalks and arrows?

Existing markings need to be removed or sufficiently faded before new material goes down — otherwise the new marking won't bond. We grind or water-blast where required.

Do you install custom symbols and directional markings?

Yes — custom directional arrows, accessible symbols, school-zone markings, and property-specific symbols are all template work for us.

What's the right marking for a fire lane?

Most jurisdictions require continuous yellow edges with 'FIRE LANE — NO PARKING' lettering at intervals. We follow the local fire marshal's spec for your property.
