Your business’s asphalt pavements and parking lots need regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. While these services can seem costly at first glance, the life cycle cost of pavement maintenance is often lower than the cost of repairs.

Potential Repair Costs for Asphalt

As a business owner or facility manager, you know that the industry average for repair is high. Most industry analysts agree that small repairs, such as pothole or crack repairs, can often cost hundreds of dollars, depending on the scale and location. Full resurfacing of damaged asphalt usually costs thousands of dollars. Significant damage, complex problems or jobs requiring more labor will cost more to repair. 

Compared to major repairs, maintenance services, like sealcoating, offer lower long-term costs. With average costs ranging between $0.13 and $0.30 per square foot, sealcoating offers a more cost-effective solution than complex repairs like resurfacing. Sealcoats are generally recommended every four to five years for optimal protection.

ROI of Pavement Maintenance

Once installed, pavements have specific maintenance needs. A strategic maintenance program can offer significant returns, including:

  • AC-20 sealing: Applied to curbs, joints and vertical edges, this sealant prevents moisture infiltration and slows deterioration.
  • Rubberized crack filling: Even the best-maintained pavement will sometimes develop cracks. Our rubberized crack filler seals cracks and helps prevent further deterioration.
  • Asphalt rejuvenation: This technique helps restore surface quality and extend the pavement’s usable life. This approach can extend the life of your pavement before full resurfacing is needed.

ROI of Commercial Sealcoating

Though it isn’t a good fit for every application, preventive sealcoating can help prevent costly repairs in commercial parking lots and pavements. Regularly sealcoating a commercial parking lot offers significant ROI by maximizing pavement lifespan and reducing the risk of damage. Most business owners consider sealcoating a cost-efficient way to keep their pavement in shape. 

Sealcoating prevents water from penetrating the asphalt surface and provides a protective shield against UV radiation and petroleum products. These factors help reduce maintenance and keep your pavement looking its best.
