Summer Commercial Paving Projects: 3 Things to Do Now

Summer is the perfect time to catch small pavement problems before they become big winter nightmares: Call Espina Paving: (703) 491-9100.

Every summer, it’s a good idea to take a tour of your facilities’ parking lots, roadways, curbs and walkways to make sure they’re in good repair. The faster you catch problems, the less expensive they are to fix! Summer is also the perfect time for commercial paving maintenance and installation. If you see any problems on your pavement, contact Espina Paving immediately at (703) 491-9100 and we can help.

1. Schedule a Walk-Through to Find Tiny Problems

Continuing from the introduction… small paving problems like tiny cracks and holes, puddles and drainage issues may seem insignificant. At other times, you may not notice a problem that a commercial paving expert would catch. So, schedule one of our commercial paving experts for a walk-through of your grounds to make sure everything is tip-top shape. We can't stress it enough: smaller problems can be corrected for a lot less of the budget than bigger problems that are left to fester.

2. Time for Sealcoating?

Summer is also the time for sealcoating. You don’t usually have to do it every year, unless your parking lots take a particularly hard beating. Every 2-3 years is usually a great schedule for a regular sealcoating maintenance update. Keeping up with your parking lots' schedules will prevent tiny cracks from becoming big and keep water from seeping into the subbase.

3. Fill Potholes and Fix Cracks Now

If there are any potholes or cracks that have festered for a while, don’t wait any longer to get them fixed. Summer is a great time to act, because you want to make sure those cracks don’t turn into bigger problems when fall and winter roll around again. If you’re worried that a repair won’t fit into the budget right now, just understand that those holes are not going to fix themselves, nor will they get any smaller. The bigger the hole, the bigger the dent in your property management budget.

Call today to schedule a summer pavement consultation and we’ll use these warm summer months to prepare for the winters of the future: (703) 491-9100.
