Now is a great time to get at fixing that cracked, faded or crumbling asphalt before winter arrives. Asphalt Repair may not be foremost on your list of things to do now while weather is warm but neglecting annual maintenance can cost you thousands of dollars in the near future. Regular maintenance and repairs by a MN Asphalt Repair Contractor can provide you with pavement that lasts up to 30 years. Residential Curb Appeal or a Great First Impression of a Commercial property are hard to achieve without repairing the damaged asphalt out front. Seal King technicians can provide your property with excellent protection from another Minnesota winter. Our Professional Grade Seal Coat provides money saving maintenance that is far superior to DIY products.
Residential Curb Appeal
Whether you plan to sell your home or simply want to exhibit pride in your property, Curb Appeal is very important. The driveway is one of the first things that people see when approaching your home. Cracks, stains, potholes and faded appearance stand out and imply that maintaining your home is not a priority. Something as simple as applying Commercial Grade Seal Coat can make a huge difference in curb appeal as well as protecting the asphalt from elements such as sun, rain, chemicals, wear and winter conditions.
Great First Impression of Commercial Property
Commercial properties maintain value and attract business easier when they are able to make a great first impression. A parking lot that is filled with cracks, pot holes or stains can be a real turn off for clients. A rich, black surface on an asphalt lot can provide the impression that you care about your business, pay attention to the details and make smart decisions on where to invest your money. The cost of replacing a poorly maintained parking lot is an unnecessary expense. Expecting clients to walk in areas where pavement is uneven can be dangerous and a legal liability.
Effects Winter Has on Asphalt Pavement
Minnesota was recently named one of the most uncomfortable places to live. Researchers factored in the number of days that heating was needed for comfort and the number of days cooling was needed for comfort. This large temperature swing is very hard on Asphalt Driveways and Asphalt Parking Lots. Seal King understands how the elements affect asphalt and use techniques to enhance the performance and longevity. Winter conditions in particular effect the performance of Asphalt Pavement.
- Potholes: Minnesotans are very familiar with potholes appearing after a harsh winter. The freeze-thaw cycle wreaks havoc with the foundation and causes areas to crumble.
- Chemicals: Road salt and de-icers can damage asphalt surfaces and eat away at the protective layer unless it has a good application of sealcoat.
- Snowplows: Snow removal equipment often scrapes down to the asphalt level causing scratches and scrape marks. Poorly maintained asphalt is more likely to endure damage from plows, bobcats or snowblowers.
