Property Managers & Asphalt Paving; whether you manage a shopping mall, an apartment complex, an office building or any other type of commercial or residential property with an expanse of pavement, you probably have a budget that details precisely how much you can spend. When budgets are tight, property managers are often forced to prioritize expenses and delay certain ones until the next budget year. Unfortunately, some property managers move asphalt repairs and maintenance to the bottom of the list of priorities. This can be a costly mistake.
Property Managers & Asphalt Paving
Asphalt pavement that is properly installed and receives sufficient maintenance will have a much longer useful life than pavement that is ignored. For example, a parking lot normally has a life of 15 to 20 years if repairs are made on a timely basis and the sealcoating is maintained. If neglected, the same parking lot could have its life reduced by 50 percent or more.
What Asphalt Pavements Need Varies
No two pavements receive identical volumes or types of traffic. For example, one parking lot may see only 100 cars per day, but another may support 1,000 cars. Typically, the parking lot bearing the higher volume of traffic will need to have sealcoating reapplied more frequently and suffer from a greater number of cracks. A reputable contractor can help you establish a schedule for routine maintenance that lets you budget appropriately.
It Need Not Be All or Nothing
Your tenants and customers lead busy lives, and property managers are often reluctant to schedule pavement work due to the potential for disruption. However, if you have a large area of pavement, virtually all asphalt contractors will work with you to minimize the disruption. It might be possible to close only one section of a parking lot, for example, and complete all the work before closing the next section. This can also be a possibility if you need existing pavement replaced. Your contractor might be able to replace the pavement in the most damaged areas first, delaying replacements on the areas that are still relatively intact.
