When you own a commercial location, you know just how important it is that you make sure that not only is your building kept in good condition, but that the property surrounding it is as well. Part of this is caring for your parking lot. Having an asphalt parking lot is very convenient for customers and employees alike, so you want to do all you can to keep your asphalt looking great and keep everyone happy. An excellent way to do this is to hire a commercial contractor. They can provide a variety of important asphalt services that can help to ensure that your asphalt lasts you for many years to come. Here are two important services they provide.
Asphalt Sealing
When your asphalt is initially poured, a sealant is placed over the top of it. This sealant is meant to create a barrier between the asphalt and everything that comes in contact with it. Because of this, it works very well at preserving the asphalt. However, overtime the sealant will begin to thin due to weathering, traffic, etc.
Thankfully, when you hire a commercial contractor, they apply a new sealant for you at any time, thus creating that protective barrier again for your asphalt.
Because you can hire one commercial contractor for the entire job, you can save a great deal of time on the job and you don’t have to worry about hiring multiple services. This in turn may be able to save you money as well.
Asphalt Patching
Another important service that a commercial asphalt contractor can provide for you is asphalt patching. You may find that overtime you get potholes in different areas of your parking lot. These are dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians alike and should be fixed.
When you hire a contractor, they will perform a patching process that fixes the potholes. This involves heating the asphalt, removing the damaged asphalt, putting in new asphalt, and then using a vibrating roller to even it all out.
Once again, one contractor will complete the job for you, and if you have any issues, they will gladly fix them. This allows you to trust them and the work that they do.
