1. Sealcoating: Essential Protection for Your Asphalt
3 Ways to Keep Your Commercial Asphalt Clean | AAA Perspective
Sealcoating your parking lot is a critical part of maintaining and protecting your asphalt surface. Over time, exposure to sunlight, rain, gas, oil, and heavy traffic can cause asphalt to fade, crack, and break down. Applying a professional sealcoat creates a protective barrier that helps prevent this damage. At AAA, we use a high-quality sealcoat that shields the surface from harmful UV rays, resists oil and chemical spills, and repels water to reduce the risk of cracks and potholes.
In addition to extending the life of your asphalt, sealcoating enhances the overall appearance of the lot by restoring a clean, dark, uniform finish. It also makes ongoing maintenance easier, as the smoother surface resists stains and is easier to sweep or wash. For best results, sealcoating is recommended every two to three years, depending on traffic and weather conditions.
2. Pothole Repair
Pothole repair is essential to maintaining a safe, smooth, and professional-looking asphalt surface. At AAA, we provide efficient and durable pothole repair services using industry-standard methods that ensure long-lasting results. Our experienced team begins by saw cutting around the damaged area to create clean edges, then applies a tack coat to help the new asphalt bond effectively to the existing pavement. The area is then properly prepped, filled with hot mix asphalt, and thoroughly compacted using a tamper or roller to restore a smooth and even surface.
Once the repair is complete, we recommend sealcoating the area to protect the new patch and surrounding asphalt. Sealcoating acts as a protective layer that binds the surface, prevents water intrusion, and helps guard against future cracking and pothole formation - ultimately extending the life of your pavement and improving its appearance.
3. Striping
Proper striping is a crucial component of any well-maintained parking lot, ensuring both safety and organization for drivers and pedestrians. AAA offers professional striping services that enhance traffic flow, improve visibility, and create a clean, polished look for your property. Our experienced crew carefully lays out and paints parking stalls, directional arrows, loading zones, and other necessary markings to ensure the lot functions efficiently.
We pay special attention to ADA compliance, making sure all handicap-accessible spaces are correctly measured, clearly labeled, and equipped with proper signage to meet current regulations. In addition, we ensure that fire lanes are properly marked and unobstructed, helping your property meet local safety codes and improving emergency access. Whether it's a fresh layout or re-striping faded lines, AAA delivers high-quality, long-lasting striping that not only boosts curb appeal but also promotes a safer experience for everyone who visits your property.
