Parking Lot Maintenance from your Baltimore Asphalt Contractor

Friday, November 9th, 2012

Maintaining your parking lot is not an option. It is a necessity. And if you are worried about money, consider how much money you will save when your well-maintained parking lot lasts 10-15 years longer than an unmaintained lot.

On average, a parking lot which undergoes no regular maintenance will last 10-15 years. A parking lot that is regularly maintained, however, can last 20-25 years. Now ask yourself which scenario makes more sense for you, your business, and your budget.

Asphalt may seem tough and durable, but add up the effects of traffic and the elements, and you’ll see how quickly commercial asphalt can wear down. The trick is to be proactive.

PTG Enterprises: Your Baltimore, Maryland Asphalt Contractor

PTG Enterprises has paved thousands of miles of asphalt lots, and our crews work quickly and professionally. Our asphalt experts can handle all of your asphalt needs, from small repairs and patches to sealcoating and new asphalt installation.

  • Asphalt Repairs: Addressing cracking and potholes early, while they are small, is much more cost effective than letting your pavement slowly degrade.
  • Sealcoating: Sealcoating is a preventative measure that helps safeguard a parking lot against the harsh effects of gas, oil, salt, weather conditions and oxidation. When applied properly, a sealcoat cures on your parking lot leaving a fresh black finish (protective layer).

When PTG arrives, we’ll prepare the site and get right to work, executing each phase of the asphalt project with an attention to detail that other paving contractors don’t possess. We adhere to a strict timetable to ensure the job gets done quickly, without negatively impacting you. And when PTG is done, we clean up, as well.

Benefits of Sealcoating Asphalt Parking Lots

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Sealcoating is a crucial process in the preventative maintenance of any parking surface. There are many benefits to sealcoating, including:

Aesthetics: A fresh new sealcoat gives your asphalt a dark black color, greatly improving its appearance. Sealcoating will also make your asphalt look cleaner, as rain can more easily wash dirt and debris away.

Preservation: Sealcoating will preserve the resilience of your asphalt parking surface and will keep small cracks from becoming big structural problems.

Visibility: Sealcoating will make your traffic lines more visible.

UV Rays: The sun can greatly damage your asphalt surface. Sealcoating protects your parking lot from harsh UV rays.

Chemicals: Sealcoating will protect your parking lot from the effects of chemical spills, like gasoline or oil.

Waterproofing: Sealcoating locks moisture out. And, as we all know, moisture and asphalt do not mix…especially with winter right around the corner.

Save Money: Sealcoating costs pennies per square foot. Asphalt repairs cost dollars per square foot. You do the math.

So do the right thing for your parking lot and have it sealcoated every 2-7 years, or as needed. This will protect your asphalt surface and greatly minimize the need for constant maintenance and repairs.

If damage still occurs to your asphalt parking lot and it is in desperate need of a little TLC, contact an experienced asphalt company today – a company like PTG Enterprises.
