We had 55 gallons of surplus paint that needed a purpose, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have donated it to Blight Busters. Seeing these photos of a finished project completed with our paint is incredibly rewarding. We love seeing the local community shine!

Apartment communities are investments.
And investments should perform.

Fresh sealcoating.
Clean, crisp striping.
Visible fire lanes.
Clear ADA markings.

These aren’t “maintenance items.”
They protect occupancy, reduce liability, and preserve NOI.

We help apartment communities across Metro Detroit protect the asset.

If you’re at the Metropolitan Apartment Association show this Thursday, stop by Booth 1014.

Let’s talk about your property.

Michigan Invented the Road Stripe

Here’s a Michigan fact almost nobody knows: The world’s first painted road centerline was created in Michigan.

In 1911, Wayne County’s legendary road commissioner Edward N. Hines had an idea after seeing a leaky milk wagon leave a white trail down a Detroit street. If a milk drip could make a line… why not paint one to keep drivers in their lane?

Michigan first tested it on a dangerous curve along River Road near Trenton and Wyandotte and the world copied it.

By the 1920s, Michigan was also helping pioneer the rules: dashed lines for passing, solid lines for no-passing, and the combinations we still use today.

We didn’t just paint the first line, we helped write the playbook for modern driving.

Thanks to The Taubman Company and Simon Property Group for trusting Metro Markings with the Twelve Oaks Mall parking lot and roadway project this season. Our team completed over 175,000 linear feet of striping and refreshed hundreds of stencils and ADA spaces, bringing entire parking lot back up to spec and giving the property a like-new appearance. Metro Markings continues to show that we can execute projects, large or small, on time, on budget, and at the highest quality.
