If you haven’t already started thinking about property maintenance for the spring and summer, now is the time to do so. (If you have, good job!) Remember, it’s always best to be proactive and address problems early. Planning ahead is simply a smart way to protect your property investment.

As you start to look ahead and decide which measures you are going to take to ensure your property is safe and looking its absolute best, you need to consider paved surfaces. This is true regardless as to whether we are talking about your driveway at home or your building’s parking lot. Either way, you may need some serious repair or maintenance work this spring or summer.

When you think about the work that needs to be done for your driveway or lot, something to keep in mind is the fact you’re better off hiring someone who handles it all.

Why is that?

Generally-speaking, there are several advantages to hiring a one-stop shop for your paving projects, including:

Convenience. We don’t doubt that you’re capable of using whatever resources at your disposal to take the time to find several different contractors—who meet your budget and will actually do a good job—to pave your parking lot, repair drains, and then stripe it for you. We just think you’d prefer not to spend all the time it will take to do so.

Instead of researching, contacting, and possibly haggling with several different contractors, you can save a lot of your valuable time and effort by going directly to an asphalt paving company that can handle the entire project for you.

Cost. Obviously, it’s very inconvenient to try and find different companies to get the job done, but more than that – it adds up financially.

If you’d like to save money—and who doesn’t want to save money?—a more economical decision is to hire one contractor who can handle it all. How does this end up costing you less? Well, you only end up paying one company to send out a crew (or crews, depending on the job), instead of two or more.

Remember, each contractor is, in some way, likely going to bill for the time (and probably gas as well) it takes to get employees and equipment out to your job site. Hire a single company, though, and your total bill is going to cost less.

Quality. When you make the wise decision to hire a one-stop shop for your paving needs, you are hiring professionals who can see the bigger picture. For example, you can have a single company come out for drain repair, but are they going to keep other factors (like the pitch and grade of the lot) in mind?

Sure, it’s possible they might – it is just considerably more likely the company that is repairing the drain, repaving the lot, and then striping it for you will take everything into consideration as they handle the job. (At least, we know that’s how we do it.)

Trust. Given that a one-stop asphalt paving company provides comprehensive services, you will find a sense of mutual trust builds. This makes sense – we come out to repair some cracks in your driveway, you like the work we do, then you can contact us for a refinishing job later and trust it will be done the right way.

At the same time, we become familiar with you and your business as well, which builds trust on our end. Together, we can evaluate your property goals and then determine what would be needed.

When we do this, you have our assurance that we won’t try and sell you on anything that doesn’t line up with your vision. Instead, we take into consideration what you are trying to achieve, and then figure out everything to make it happen. (In the spirit of the Golden Rule, we don’t like pushy salespeople, so we’re not about to be pushy to you.)
