  1. Frequently Asked Questions about Commercially used Parking Lot Repair

  2. If you're thinking of replacing the asphalt parking lot on your commercial property, you're undoubtedly asking yourself a number of questions. As a simple method to obtain all of the answers you're looking for before the ball starts rolling on your new lot, we've put together this guide of the questions we frequently hear from property owners who are looking into having their asphalt lot fixed.

  3. Who is qualified to maintain a parking lot? Parking lots are repaired and replaced by asphalt paving businesses. "Repair" can entail anything from touching up cracks and damage to restoring the drainage on the property, depending on the contractor.

  4. How much does it cost to restore a parking lot? The quantity of work required, the size of the parking lot, and the depth of asphalt used on site all influence the price. Asphalt resurfacing and other repair procedures are less expensive than asphalt replacement in general. Repairing an asphalt parking lot costs from $2.00 to $2.50 per square foot on average.

  5. What does parking lot maintenance entail in the past? Repairing a parking lot involves addressing structural defects in the asphalt, which can include: Ruts are depressions in the parking lot surface produced by wheel loads or soil problems, and if not repaired, they can cause hydroplaning.

  6. Crack filling – Sun, water damage, poor parking lot construction, and freeze-thaw cycles are all causes of asphalt cracking. Parking lots should be resealed every two to four years to prevent weather-related deterioration.

  7. Resurfacing — By covering an old parking lot with another conventional 1-12" layer of asphalt, resurfacing can extend the life of the parking lot by up to 15 years. This is a cost-cutting strategy that can work on a parking lot in reasonable shape, but it is not recommended. You may need to take a leveling course first in some circumstances.

  8. Floating – If the parking lot drainage is inadequate or for profile modifications, milling to remove 1.5 to 2 inches of asphalt may be required before resurfacing. It's critical to fix cracks on a yearly basis, as little cracks can quickly expand into bigger ones if not addressed. Ruts should be repaired when they reach a certain size.

  9. Is striping done when a parking lot is being repaired? Striping is a distinct service from parking lot maintenance, but many pavement businesses also provide striping. Check with a paving contractor to see if they can walk you through your striping alternatives before hiring them. As part of the bid process, your parking lot contractor will present you with a scope of work. The scope of work will help you understand what has to be done and why it has to be done.
