With the daily requirements of running a business, you may not be thinking about repaving your parking lot. However, there are many benefits to scheduling your commercial paving project sooner rather than later. Some of the benefits for your business are listed in the guide below.

Why Should You Repave Your Parking Lot?

1. Improve Your Business’s Image

Allowing any part of your business property to fall into a state of disrepair sends the wrong image to customers and can discourage them from soliciting your services. A pristine entrance to your building, however, will attract customers and project an image of success and prosperity. Repaving can also increase the property value when it comes time to sell.

2. Protect Vehicles From Damage

Potholes are not only a nuisance, but they can also damage your customers’ cars when they drive over them. They can affect their vehicles’ tires, wheel alignment, and other elements of suspension.

Even if your customers don’t drive over the potholes, needing to drive around them can cause car accidents, which can lead to personal injury claims against your business.

3. Prevent Customer Injury

Bicycle and foot passengers can also injure themselves in potholes or cracks in the road if they accidentally ride or walk into them. They may fall off their bike, trip and fall, or injure an ankle, which can also lead to personal injury claims that you will be responsible for paying.

4. Repair Deeper Damage

If you see cracks or potholes in your pavement, this may be a sign of issues in the subgrade layer underneath the asphalt. When moisture seeps in through outer cracks and holes, the dirt and gravel in the subgrade layer can begin to erode and cause even more surface damage. The only way to repair this is by having a commercial paving company resurface the entire lot.
