Cornelius runs along Lake Norman in northern Mecklenburg County. It grew from 24,866 people in 2010 to 31,412 in 2020, and that kind of growth over a decade shows up on the ground as commercial development of noticeably different ages sitting next to each other.
Lakeside commercial property brings a specific problem with it. Lots close to the water tend to have more tree cover and more shaded edges that stay damp, and a shaded north edge holds algae and moisture long after the open lot has dried. Paint will not bond to that, so those edges get cleaned properly rather than swept, and the section gets checked for dampness before anything is sprayed. Lots that fill seasonally also wear unevenly, heavily used through the warm months and barely touched otherwise.
Whatever the lot needs, the order of work is the same one that applies everywhere: cracks filled before sealer goes down, and striping last, once the surface has cured. Tell us the property and roughly how many stalls and you will get a number back, most re-stripes without anyone coming out.
