Published prices, before HST
Kitchener Parking Lot Line Painting Pros publishes its line painting prices so property managers can budget before they call. The ranges on this page reflect what we charge across Waterloo Region, built on more than 550 jobs since 2015.
Most parking lot restripes cost $9 to $15 per standard stall, with a $450 minimum, and a typical 40 to 60 stall plaza comes in at $650 to $1,200. Every figure on this page is before HST.
Below you will find the full price table, the factors that move a quote up or down, sample budgets for common lots and how to get a firm number within one business day.
Price table
These are our typical ranges for parking lot work in Kitchener, all before HST. Your written quote is based on your lot's actual footage, stencils and prep.

Restripe or layout
A new layout costs roughly double a restripe: $18 to $30 per stall against $9 to $15. The difference is labour and paint.
A restripe follows lines that already exist, so the crew sprays over a visible guide. A new layout starts from a measured plan: we measure the lot, snap chalk lines for every stall and aisle, and use more paint to build each line from bare asphalt.
Stall sizes for any new layout start from Kitchener's parking stall dimensions: 2.6 m by 5.5 m for a standard stall.
Price factors
Six factors decide where your lot lands in our ranges. Linear footage matters most, and the rest add to or subtract from that base.
Total footage is the biggest driver, since one US gallon at 15 mils wet covers only about 300 to 330 linear feet of 4 in line. Large lots cost less per stall because setup and coning are spread over more lines.
A 300-stall lot usually prices toward the low end of $9 to $15 per stall, while a 20-stall lot often lands on the $450 minimum.
Each stencil is priced separately: $20 to $45 for arrows, NO PARKING and numbers, and $45 to $150 for accessibility symbols, fire route, EV and custom logos. A custom logo sits at the top of that range because we cut a new plastic stencil for your design.
Heavy sand, debris and oil spots take longer to clean before paint will bond. Cracks, ravelling and potholes are repaired by your paving contractor, since paint over a failing surface is not covered by our warranty.
Our checklist for preparing your lot for line painting shows how to cut prep time.
Grinding off old lines with a walk-behind scarifier costs $1.50 to $3.00 per linear foot. We price removal by the footage that has to go, and we never black out lines with paint.
In season, night and weekend work usually costs nothing extra, and if it ever does, we state it on the quote upfront. Travel outside Waterloo Region is part of the price, so London line painting jobs are grouped into planned multi-day trips.
Waterborne paint is the standard from May 1 to October 15. Thermoplastic costs about three times as much as paint on a crosswalk but lasts 3 to 6 years, and Type 1 glass beads add a separate charge for night visibility.
Sample budgets
These sample budgets apply our per-unit ranges to common Waterloo Region jobs. They are planning estimates, not past invoices, and all are before HST.
| Job | Typical scope | Estimated budget |
|---|---|---|
| Touch-up visit | Repaint faded arrows and one accessible stall | $450 minimum |
| Small plaza restripe | 40 to 60 stalls with arrows | $650 to $1,200 |
| Fire route refresh | About 400 linear feet of lane line with stencils | $450 to $600 |
| Plaza re-layout | 60 stalls on a new plan, before any line removal | $1,080 to $1,800 |
| Office lot restripe | 150 stalls plus 10 arrow and number stencils | $1,550 to $2,700 |
| Condo garage level | 80 stalls on one underground level | $960 to $1,600 |
Most small jobs land between the $450 minimum and about $1,200. Lots in Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph are priced on the same ranges as Kitchener.
Courts and floors
Courts and floors are priced differently from parking lots. Courts are priced by sport and court count, and floors by coating system, line width and prep.
Priced per court, with 100% acrylic court paint on acrylic surfaces.
Priced per visit or per game, with turf paint on grass and waterborne acrylic on asphalt.
Priced by linear foot or stall, with indoor prep and ventilation built in.
Firm quotes
A firm quote takes three things from you and one business day from us. We visit the site within the week only when the layout or condition is unclear.
A Google Maps satellite screenshot with the lot outlined, or your site plan, lets us measure footage without a visit.
Tell us your stall count if you know it, plus accessible stalls, EV stalls, fire routes, stencils and any lines to remove.
Say whether you need night, weekend or phased work, and any dates to avoid. Then request your line painting quote.
Timing
Book by February or March for a spring restripe. Bookings peak from April to August, and outdoor paint needs air and pavement at 10 C and rising, so the first good weeks of May fill first.
Booking early does not change our ranges, but our parking lot maintenance plans lock prices for the season and reserve a spring slot without re-quoting. Our guide on how often to repaint parking lot lines helps you decide how often to budget for it.
Pricing FAQ
Short answers to the pricing questions we hear most.
Yes, $450 before HST. It applies to small lots and touch-ups, because every visit needs the same setup, coning and surface prep.
No. All our prices are before HST, which is added at 13% on the invoice.
Yes. Property managers with 3 or more sites get a 5% multi-site discount through our annual restripe maintenance plans, with prices locked for the season.
Usually not in season. When a surcharge does apply, we state it on the quote upfront.
A complete accessible stall costs $120 to $220, including lines, 1.5 m aisle hatching and the symbol. On its own it falls under the $450 minimum, so most owners add it to a restripe.
Restriping costs $0.35 to $0.60 per linear foot of 4 in line. Fire route lines run $0.75 to $1.50 per linear foot including stencils, and line removal runs $1.50 to $3.00.
