It’s the last call to seatcoat parking lots before the extreme temperatures hit Maryland!
Sealcoating your parking lot is the most effective method for preserving the structural integrity and visual appeal of the pavement. Pavement maintenance is crucial for commercial properties to ensure that the parking lot is safe and free of cracks or potholes. The process can’t take place during the cold winter weather and harsh elements, so the fall season is the last call to sealcoat your pavement.
Why Fall Is The Best Time To Sealcoat
The sealcoating process requires specific temperatures and can only be done when there is no rain or snow in the forecast. The ambient and pavement temperatures should both be between 50-85 degrees, making fall the perfect sealcoating season. The last day of the ideal sealcoating season is around daylight savings time, which is on November 4th this year.
What Does Sealcoating Do?
Property managers should refresh the topcoat of their asphalt about every two to three years to ensure their parking lots remain in great condition. By sealcoating every few years, your pavement will last much longer and be free of potholes, cracks, and water damage. By neglecting the pavement and not performing maintenance, it will eventually fall apart passed the point of repair.
Benefits of Sealcoating
There are many benefits of sealcoating, including improving the aesthetic appeal, increasing the value of your property, reduces the risk of long-term damages, and more! The aesthetic appeal of your parking lot is very important for commercial businesses, as it is the first thing customers see when they visit. A clean, jet-black parking lot with no cracks or potholes shows visitors that the business cares about their appearance and their customer’s safety. If property owners choose to sell their building, a well-maintained parking lot is a huge sell and is great for increasing the value of the property. However, even if you are not as concerned with improving the appeal of your parking lot, property owners have a legal obligation to ensure the parking lot is safe, as any injuries or vehicle damages can lead to a lawsuit.
