How
does a consultation with paving contractors go? More importantly, how
should it go? In trying to improve your property’s parking
area, curbs, and driveways, you need to be particular with your
problems, and the contractor needs to be specific with the services,
as well.
Assessment
After
that initial phone call, the contractor needs to comprehensively
assess the areas concerned. You may have received complaints on some
cracks or potholes in the pavement, or on hazardous, broken curbs and
improper markings, etc. An expert should inspect the damages in order
to recommend the plausible solutions.
Aside
from repairing damages, you should also be keen about the routine
maintenance of your pavements. For that, the contractor should assess
the areas thoroughly before offering the appropriate upkeep measures
and arriving at estimates or negotiations.
Available
Solutions
The
contractor should present all options for repairs and maintenance.
For instance, some pavement damages can be patched or milled, while
extensive deterioration may require total resurfacing. In these
situations, you should be informed of the extent of the job and the
implications to your business (e.g. whether you need to limit or stop
operations temporarily).
Sweeping,
sealcoating, and line striping are usually done for maintenance.
Proactive paving contractors should detail the materials to be used
and the benefits you can reap from them. Blacktop sealcoating, for
instance, can extend the life of the asphalt and refurbish its
uniform look. The professional company will also advise you regarding
the project’s timeframe or routine schedule.
