For a place of business, the exterior of the building is the first impression visitors have. It’s important to maintain a professional appearance that lets customers know they are going to the right business for their needs. The parking lot and other paved surfaces are a strong indication of the level of attention a business pays to their customers’ needs. If the exterior paved areas of a business are poorly maintained it might give the impression that the business owner or manger isn’t making sure to make a good impression on visitors. Maintaining the exterior paved surfaces of a business is easy with the right service provider. When it comes time to have a paved surface repaired, there are a few things that are important to establish in the estimate.
For surface sealing, its important to know how many coats are going to be used. The standard practice is two coats, a single coat is not enough to provide proper coverage. A third coat might be used in areas that are prone to more traffic, such as parking lot entrances or exits. The method of application is important, too. Applying the sealant by hand is the least effective method, and would not be used by an experienced repair service provider for asphalt in Columbus. The sealant should be applied either by spraying, squeegee, or self-propelled squeegee. A self propelled squeegee is considered the best method of applying sealant, as it fills all the pores and cracks of the pavement better than any other method of application.
Additives might be included in the sealant. There are many different kinds of additives, and its important to know what the additive will do before its applied. Overall, the new surface of the parking lot or paved area will look well maintained. In areas where oil spills are present it will be difficult to cover or remove the stains. The process of sealing asphalt in Columbus only takes a few hours, however the area will need to be closed to traffic for twenty four hours to let the sealant cure. Once the surface sealing and crack filling is complete, both customers and business owners will enjoy a well maintained exterior.
