In a quiet residential neighborhood, nestled among family homes and tree-lined streets, the Apostolic Christian Church needed more than just a facelift. It needed a parking lot that worked as well as it looked.
That’s where we came in.
At Perdue Pavement Solutions, we were brought in to handle a full asphalt sealcoating and line striping project for the church.
The goal was simple: improve safety, organization, and curb appeal for a lot that sees weekly worshippers, special events, and steady vehicle traffic throughout the year.
Turning a Worn Lot Into a Welcoming First Impression
The existing lot had seen better days.
Fading striping, worn asphalt, and unclear traffic flow made it harder for guests—especially first-timers—to navigate the space with confidence. Between multiple access points and a somewhat irregular layout, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a cookie-cutter job.
We began with a full surface sealcoating to bring back that rich, deep black finish that not only looks sharp but also helps extend the life of the asphalt. That fresh coat creates a clean slate—literally—for new striping and layout improvements.
Strategic Striping That Works Hard Behind the Scenes
With the surface prepped, we turned our focus to the lines. Using high-visibility yellow paint, we laid out angled stalls for efficient parking and added clear ADA-compliant spaces to ensure accessibility for all congregants.
We also addressed traffic flow with directional arrows and updated markings to guide vehicles safely in and out of the lot. Fire lanes and loading areas were defined with crisp, regulation-compliant striping, ensuring the church stays both safe and up to code.
One of the biggest wins?
The reconfigured layout actually increased available parking without expanding the physical space. For a property like this—where every inch matters—that’s a real value-add.
A Lot That Reflects the Pride of the Community
A well-maintained parking lot might not be the first thing visitors think of when they arrive, but it’s the first thing they see. For the Apostolic Christian Church, this upgrade was about more than pavement—it was about hospitality, function, and taking care of the space they call home.
Now, whether it’s Sunday morning or a weekday event, members and guests are greeted with a clearly marked, freshly sealed, easy-to-navigate lot that enhances the entire property.
