While you may not realize it, your parking is one of the biggest success factors behind your business. It can give customers the impression that you sell terrific products and are a well-kept business. A parking lot can help people easily navigate to your storefront. That's why it's critical to always have a well-maintained lot. Here are a few signs it's time for parking lot paving services.

1. Small Cracks

According to NAPA, more than 90% of parking lots are asphalt. Asphalt can crack after years of wear and tear. When you don't get cracks fixed, they only continue to deepen. The cracks will widen as water soaks in between, freezes, and thaws. Contacting a parking lot paving company at the first sign of a small break is best for preventing larger issues from occurring.

2. Severe Fading

Fading can happen over time due to wear and tear or constant exposure to sunlight. While this is a common occurrence for many parking lots, it's not wise to procrastinate repairs if you have a fading parking lot. Over time, your parking lot will likely become damaged from customer use. Instead, consider repaving your parking lot so it looks new again. This is more enticing for customers and cost-effective for you.

3. Uneven Surface

Several factors can make your parking lot uneven. Uneven wear and tear is one of the most common causes. Poor installation is another reason this can happen. However, an uneven parking lot can cause vehicle damage and create a fall hazard. A professional parking lot paving company can help create a smooth, level surface for your customers to drive on.

4. Alligator Cracks

Alligator cracks are common and are a severe problem. These cracks are known for their distinct look. They look like several cracks interwoven. When you see cracks like this, it can mean that there is a problem with the foundation of your parking lot. Usually, it needs to be replaced. If you suspect that the cracks in your lot may be getting worse, don't wait to call in the experts.
