Ensuring that your parking lot is in good condition for your employees and visitors is of the utmost importance for your business. Your parking lot acts as a first impression, and while a pristine parking lot may only receive a passing note of recognition, a poorly maintained parking lot will stay in your visitors’ minds for a long time. So how do you know when the time is right to fully repave your lot? Are there times where a patch and fix solution is the right course of action?
Some signs that your parking lot is in distress can be found in the following infographic:
The Case for Patching Your Lot
For some parking lots, completely tearing up what came before and replacing it with brand new asphalt may be too costly and, more importantly, unnecessary. There are times where the best solution is to realize that for commercial asphalt, there are steps you can take to preserve some of the asphalt and only repair and replace the parts that have been damaged. In some cases, asphalt milling might be enough to do the trick and fix your cosmetic parking lot problems. If your parking lot is on the newer side, under 20 years old, you can make a case for patching the trouble spots before resorting to a full repaving.
The Case for Repaving Your Lot
When you begin to see multiple warning signs that your lot is in disrepair, it may be time to pull the trigger and repave your parking lot. Some of these warning signs include cracks, potholes, dents in the asphalt, fading lines, and noticeable sun damage. When many of these issues are present, asphalt milling by itself will not get the job done. This is when you need the paving contractors of Platinum Paving and Sealcoating to come in and address the problems. With our expert team, we can diagnose the underlying issues and help give your parking lot the first impression that you and your employees deserve.
The determining factors regarding when it is time to repave your parking lot instead of merely repatching it comes down to the volume of the issues and how old the parking lot is. The older the parking lot, the more likely your lot requires a full repaving.
