Asphalt Patching Versus Resurfacing
Commercial property managers and owners often are faced with a difficult decision regarding their paved surfaces. Damages caused by fluctuating temperatures can be substantial or superficial and while most property managers often have some experience with maintaining paved surfaces, commercial paving contractors are the experts. Most commercial paving contractors offer free evaluations of your paved surfaces, both asphalt and/or concrete, and will give a fair and truthful estimate. Trust that if the experts recommend repairs or resurfacing, the chances are good they are speaking from experience.
Simply patching deeper holes or filling widening cracks is often nothing more than delaying the inevitable and further inconveniencing the tenants of the property, which is something no commercial property manager or owner wants. Unhappy tenants lead to empty rental spaces. While patching might serve as an inexpensive and quick fix, if multiple commercial paving contractors are recommending a resurface, you can trust that the patching won’t hold for any period of time.
While there will be a certain amount of inconvenience for your tenants, the curb appeal of a full resurface and seal coat will more than make up for it. A fresh asphalt paved lot offers your commercial property a new look, a make-over of sorts, and your tenants will appreciate the convenience of a smooth and clean lot, forgetting all about parking on the street for those few days while the commercial paving contractor did the job.
Patching or paving is a common problem for commercial property owners everywhere. You depend upon the experience of commercial paving contractors to know exactly what needs to be done to keep your property looking as clean and new as possible. A patchwork parking lot may be functional and do for another dose of winter cold but a resurfaced lot increases the aesthetic value and curb appeal of any commercial property.
I’ve been trying to decide what I’m going to do about my pavement. I didn’t know that resurfacing could be better than patching! It makes sense, since patching is just delaying the inevitable! I’ll be sure to give resurfacing a try. Thanks for sharing!
