Adding striping to a contractor ’ s multiservice mix can offer advantages .
Joles said , “ The advantages of offering striping as an in-house service is that the contractor can close more deals , can have greater quality control over the striping , and can have a greater profit margin because they do not need to subcontract the service . And their customers can get back on their paved surface more promptly .”
Maintaining greater control over the work and improving a contractor ’ s margins are certainly points in favor of adding striping to a contractor ’ s services offered .
“ If you ’ re looking at adding striping to your existing asphalt business ,” Vangstad said , “ you need to consider the following three things : 1 . Do you have the manpower to do this ? Labor is scarce in most markets right now and you certainly do not want to negatively affect your current business . 2 . Do you have the expertise to perform line striping ? If not , maybe you need to bring new employees onboard or find someone to train a select number of your current employees . 3 . Do you have the equipment to effectively get a quality job completed in a timely fashion ?” www . callape . com [ 16 ] 1.800.210.5923
