FAQ

Q: What experience do I need to have to become a 1-800-STRIPER franchise owner?
A: We seek franchise owners who are interested in the building maintenance, paving, striping or service industries. A good design-eye is needed to visualize and create efficient parking and pedestrian line designs. Franchise owners need to be personable, professional and able to create relationships with partnerships in their communities. Any qualified individual eager to start their own business, operate it from home, and follow our well-developed and proprietary systems is encouraged to learn more about the programs and start-up packages we offer.

Q: What is provided as part of the 1-800-STRIPER franchise system?

Q: How large is a territory? 
A: We create territories based on the number of employees in an area. It is important to us that we ensure you are getting plenty of parking lots to market to and service. Most importantly, we give you a protected territory so that you are the only person who can market to and service leads and customers in your territory.

Q: In some locations, this is a seasonal business; how can I make any money?
A: Enjoy the flexibility of the business. Parking lot striping is a business that clients’ value and our service is in great demand.
