June 1, 2021

Parking Lot Maintenance is not something that should be overlooked and should be repaired properly to save time and money. Let Atlantic Southern Paving help you repair your parking lot to make a great first impression.

It is a must to know the right time to schedule asphalt repairs for your parking lot. If you have just started parking your vehicles, you need to know how often asphalt maintenance is required. This will help you determine how much it will cost you to maintain your parking lot, the amount of time and effort you need to spend in order to make it look good, and how soon you will be able to resume parking your vehicles. You should also consider other options aside from asphalt or concrete for your parking lot’s maintenance.

Proper Asphalt Parking Lot Maintenance includes: Sealing every two years. Cracking sealing when they appear, as well as crack sealing after they have widened/ deteriorated. New striping for safer pedestrian and vehicle navigation. Proper signage. Asphalt parking lot maintenance involves many different things, so keep the first impression of your establishment in mind.

The first thing to consider in parking lot maintenance is to select a reputable contractor. A very important aspect of hiring a contractor to perform the needed repairs for your establishment is to ask for recommendations. If you can’t find a recommendation for a contractor from your friends, colleagues, or family members, then it is advisable to go to the yellow pages and do some research on your own. You might even want to check if there is a local chapter of the Better Business Bureau available in your area. It would be beneficial for you to call them up and ask for their recommendations of local contractors. If you’re lucky, you might get five or six names of potential contractors from the phone book, but it’s still better to ask around first to get a general idea on what contractors are good at what.

Some parking lot maintenance jobs are easier to handle than others are, and not all parking lot maintenance jobs are created equal. There are some parking lots that are easy to maintain and other parking lots that can be a real headache. It’s definitely possible to get a quality job done without spending much money, but that doesn’t mean that it will be cheap. There are many different kinds of materials that you can use to make repairs to your asphalt pavements, so it’s important that you know which type of material will work best for your specific parking lot repairs.

If you notice cracks in your asphalt parking lot maintenance and you suspect that they might be the source of those ugly potholes, you need to act right away. Cracks allow moisture to seep in, which could eventually cause potholes to form. If you don’t fix those cracks in time, they will probably widen and start to cause more damage to your property. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that it usually takes about 7 years for those cracks to appear and end up causing potholes before anyone notices them.

One thing you can do to fix your problem is to apply an asphalt repair sealcoating on the damaged area. A good sealcoating should provide a little bit of resistance to water penetration, which means that you can easily repair those cracks while the sealcoating is still soft and not as rigid. Parking lot maintenance isn’t cheap, but you can make it cheaper if you invest in good asphalt repair and sealcoating. If you are doing your own maintenance, consider hiring a contractor who already has experience with this particular kind of repair. They will save you money and you’ll also have peace of mind that your asphalt repair job will be done correctly the first time!
