You want your parking lot to send the right message to everyone who sees it. Your lot should tell people that they are welcome, that they and their vehicles will be safe in your lot, and that you care about them. At the same time, you want to ensure that you maximize your return on your investment in your parking lot pavement. To achieve all these goals, let Affordable Striping & Sealing customize an effective, economical parking lot maintenance program for you.
What Is a Parking Lot Maintenance Program?
A maintenance plan is a collection of the services that your parking lot will need for longevity, safety, aesthetics, and health. However, the exact services that your parking lot needs will depend on various factors. For example, your pavement’s age, the traffic your parking lot supports, and the current condition of your pavement can affect your plan. Typically, though, parking lots in Las Vegas need asphalt sealcoating and crack repairs, striping and marking, traffic signs, and bumper blocks.
What Are the Advantages of Asphalt Sealcoating?
Sealcoating blocks the harsh UV rays that fade asphalt, turn it brittle, and make it more likely to crack. It helps prevent damage from automotive fluids, enhances traction, and returns gray or brown pavement to its original dark color. Sealcoating can cover hairline cracks and other minor imperfections to make the pavement appear smoother. Most parking lots in the Vegas area need sealcoating about every two years.
What Are the Advantages of Asphalt Crack Repairs?
Unrepaired cracks give automotive fluids, dirt, and water easy access to multiple layers of your pavement’s structure. Water is especially dangerous to your pavement’s structural integrity. If water reaches the pavement’s foundation, it will erode and destabilize it. This can lead to potholes, alligator cracking, and pavement subsidence. Depending on the age and condition of your pavement, you will need to repair cracks once or twice each year.
What Are the Advantages of Striping and Marking My Parking Lot?
Striping and marking will help you achieve compliance with various federal and local laws. You also need the service to control how and where drivers park, maintain an orderly flow of traffic, and achieve maximum utilization. You will need to repaint your stripes and markings after sealcoating. However, you should not wait if your paint is blistering, peeling, cracking, or flaking. You should also go ahead and repaint if your stripes and markings have lost more than 25% of their original visibility.
Why Should I Include Traffic Signage and Bumper Blocks in My Parking Lot Maintenance Plan?
Traffic signs and bumper blocks have important roles to play in the safety of your parking lot. Furthermore, certain parking lot signs are mandatory for legal reasons. Signs and their posts can suffer damage from vandals, careless drivers, or the weather. Drivers who run over bumper blocks can break or dislodge them, and this can turn them into tripping hazards. Therefore, it is a good idea to have us inspect them at least annually so that we can repair or replace them as necessary.
