After a long, cold winter, the spring sunshine and warmer temperatures motivate us to begin fresh in all areas of our lives. Commercial business owners and property managers should also start thinking about parking lot maintenance once the snow starts melting and the damage created by the winter weather becomes apparent. If your lot needs sealcoating, cleaned, cracks filled or if there are areas that need repaired, now is the time to talk with a contractor so that you can get on the schedule when you want the work done.
When Can Maintenance Work Be Done?
When it comes to asphalt maintenance, sealcoating is the most dependent on weather. For the best sealcoating results, temperatures need to warm enough for proper curing, typically 10 degrees or above for a 24-hour period. In the Maritimes, we usually don’t experience those temperatures until late Spring.
Spring months are ideal for auditing and scheduling contractors.
If you know that your parking lot will need repairs in the spring or summer months, it’s ideal to schedule it in advance early Spring. This allows you to beat the rush, set your ideal timeline and sometimes lock in a better rate. If you do notice minor potholes, cracks or defects that surface during or after the winter, don’t delay necessary repairs that may result in the need for bigger repairs if neglected. Expert asphalt contractors can help you determine if the work should be done right away to help prevent the damage from becoming something more serious or costly down the road.
Maritime ProSeal sealcoats all the way up until mid November. While the winter months may not be ideal for parking lot maintenance, if you have immediate needs, especially those that are creating a safety hazard, we do have crews that are available for emergency repairs.
