1. Parking Lot Resurfacing
Our asphalt contractors may recommend parking lot resurfacing if the surface is badly damaged, yet the foundation is in good shape. Instead of having to replace your entire asphalt parking lot, you’ll only have to replace the top layer.
If you’re considering parking lot resurfacing, you won’t want to wait too long. If left unrepaired, water might be able to seep through deep cracks and potholes to destroy your parking lot’s foundation. Once this happens, your only option will be complete replacement.

Sealcoating protects your asphalt parking lot from UV rays, precipitation, and automobile fluids. While we understand you’re on a budget, sealcoating can save you money in the future by helping you prevent cracks and potholes from forming in the first place. Asphalt sealcoating applies a protective layer over your parking lot so it’s shielded from the elements.

4. Line Striping
Parking lot striping can fade over time, increasing the risk of car door dings and the loss of valuable parking spaces. When drivers aren’t able to clearly see parking lot striping, they tend to put more space than what’s necessary between them and the other parked vehicles. Likewise, people may also park too close to other vehicles and accidently scratch another person’s car door.
