Asphalt repair services are vital with customers returning.

When was the last time you inspected your parking lot for cracks, filled existing potholes, and applied a new sealcoating?

If it’s more than a year ago, you may need another round of repairs and general maintenance to return the lot to its best appearance.

Importance of Asphalt Repair Services

There are four key reasons why you need regular asphalt repair and maintenance services:

• Improve curb appeal: HOAs, businesses, and property owners understand the importance of curb appeal. It’s why you invest in landscaping in the first place. Your asphalt pavement is just as important for curb appeal. When the parking lot and pavements are attractive, they make the rest of the property more appealing.
• Increased safety: An unmaintained parking lot is an unsafe lot. The cracks and potholes create a fall risk and can also cause flat tires. Standing water poses a slip-and-fall hazard. You also need to consider the general disorganization that comes with a lack of maintenance. It creates safety risks.
• Remain in compliance: Two compliance issues are especially important – fire lane marking and ADA requirements. If an area of your parking lot is designated as a fire lane, you must strip it properly and regularly, per state requirements. ADA, meanwhile, concerns disabled persons. You’re required to continually make improvements to your parking lot to make it accessible to individuals with disabilities.
• Reduces liability: The safety risks and compliance requirements mentioned above come with the potential for lawsuits and hefty fines. If someone slips and falls on your property, they can sue for damages. The same applies if there’s a collision on the parking lot occasioned by the lack of clear traffic markings. You can be held liable and penalized heavily.

Why Now is a Good Time for Asphalt Repair

Parking lot maintenance and general repair is an ongoing responsibility. It’s in your best interest to regularly inspect your lot, identify issues early, and fix them before they become costly problems.

That said, however, the following are three reasons why right now would be an excellent time for asphalt repair services:

1. COVID-19 is finally under control

Although the virus is still a concern globally, states and governments have finally managed to contain it. You no longer hear about lockdowns, shutdowns, and curfews, do you? Indeed, the government is even encouraging businesses to reopen, albeit with safety precautions.

Repairing your parking lot at this time when the economy is bouncing back would be a boost your curb appeal and attracts visitors/clients.

2. People are going out more

The world is finally coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. After staying at home for the better part of the year to curb the virus’s spread, people are finally allowed to get out and go on with their everyday activities. Everyone is excited about it. Making paving repairs now would help you stand out and attract more of these people to your business.
