An asphalt parking lot is a significant investment for any business, no matter the size of the business or the parking lot. One of the best things an owner or manager can do to protect this investment is to properly care for it. Sealcoating can offer great protection and help extend the life of your asphalt, when it is completed by a professional.
Do you really need to sealcoat your parking lot? YES!
Sealcoating is the process of applying a thin coat of sealer to the asphalt. It replenishes the binder typically lost through weathering and aging along with providing a barrier to moisture intrusion, uv rays, chemicals, and salt. Adding this layer of protection is the greatest form of preventative care a business owner can do for their parking lot.
Advantages of Sealcoating
- Helps extend the life of asphalt pavement
- Saves on costly repairs by creating a barrier to moisture, chemicals, and weather
- Creates a beautiful surface that is “like new” with a rich, black color
- Minimizes damage and erosion
Sealcoating is the perfect way to ensure your parking lot is the best welcome mat for your business. Since the initial investment of a new asphalt parking lot can be significant, you will love to know that sealcoating costs pennies on the dollar per square foot. Based on your specific needs and the state of your asphalt, the price will fluctuate, but needless to say, it will be cheaper than replacing the entire lot.
Preventative maintenance is always going to be your best bet to ensure there are no surprises when it comes to your business. When the sealcoating team is examining your parking lot, they may recommend a few other services to further protect your parking lot.
- Crack Filling: Applying crack filler to seal cracks within the pavement will prevent moisture intrusion and fill the cracks. Moisture can cause significant damage to asphalt and filling the cracks is one way to prevent the need of large repair.
- Pothole Repair: Filling potholes cures your parking lot of annoying hazards caused to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Pothole repair helps your business avoid costly liabilities in a cost-effective manner.
- Line Striping: Add curb appeal to your refreshed parking lot with new traffic markings. Long lasting paints are used to update lines and provide organized traffic flow along with parking areas.
It is recommended to follow any proposal a sealcoating company may offer. Doing so could save you on costly repairs, liabilities, or full replacement of your parking lot. If your parking lot is currently falling apart and cracking, your business might not be welcoming to current or future customers. Create a great first impression with a clean, well-maintained parking lot and show that you take pride in your business.
