Asphalt Patch Prevents Problems for Kalamazoo Parking Lot

One of our past clients in Kalamazoo, MI contacted us regarding her parking lot, which had spider webbed cracking and broken asphalt throughout. She couldn’t afford to re-do the entire lot, so we suggested having the worst areas patched, until she could budget a full paving job. The patching job is a quick service that is intended to be temporary. We excavated the problem areas of crumbling asphalt, filled them with the repair asphalt and compacted with a roller. For the cracks, we applied an asphalt filler to prevent them from widening further. Our customer was very pleased with the results. She thanked us for our prompt scheduling and the fact that we were able to work around her schedule to minimize interruptions. (For more on Kalamazoo go here)

Battle Creek Parking Lot Striped Adds Safety and Visible Lines

Asphalt Solutions Plus was scheduled to give service to a customer in Battle Creek. The customer, James, wanted to have his parking lot striped. It’s a good thing that the customer called us when he did, because his current parking lot striping was almost completely faded, which is a danger for his customers. We arrived promptly on time, as scheduled to get the parking lot ready for the striping.

The crew done all the parking lot striping, then invited the customer to take a look. The customer said the job looked great. He said that he needed it done for some time, so he did a search online to find a local company, and our company had the best reviews, and experience.

Battle Creek Pothole and Leveling Rids Dangerous Dips

Asphalt Solutions Plus was scheduled to do an asphalt patching service for a customer in Battle Creek. The customer, Fred, had several potholes in his asphalt along with high and low spots that needed to be leveled. It’s a good thing that the customer called us out when he did, because leaving asphalt unrepaired will end up causing major damages, which leads to costly repairs for the customer. The Asphalt Solutions Plus crew arrived on time, as scheduled. The crew started filling the potholes then working on leveling it, so there weren’t high and low spots. The crew made sure that it was draining properly then we added a sealcoat to protect and add durability. We invited the customer to look over the finished result and give us his final approval. The customer looked at the work done and said, ” it looks great guys!” He said he needed to have the work done for a while, but just kept putting it off. We asked him how he heard about our company and he said he did a search online. He said he had two companies come give him an estimate, but our company was the only one that backed their work with a warranty, and our price was affordable. We thanked the customer for choosing us, and we finished cleaning up, then left. Asphalt Solutions Plus noticed that this customer left us feedback, which said. “The crew at Asphalt Solutions Plus did an excellent job repairing my potholes and leveling the dips out.

Recent Sealcoating Project

Our team does a ton of work throughout Jackson, MI.  Local businesses and property owners know of our commitment to service and our quality first mentality.  Parking lots are a very important part of any commercial building and the function and look needs to be great.
We received a call from a Jackson Property manager who handles a large number of commercial property in the area.  She had recently taken over a new property and wanted an assessment of the condition of the lot and what would be needed for maintenance on an ongoing basis.  Our team inspected the lot and found that things were draining well, with minimal problems areas and the asphalt was in fairly good condition.  It was our recommendation to not repave the lot and it had years left of use in it’s curent asphalt.  The best course of action was to sealcoat the lot and fill some small cracks.  The property manager was pleasantly surprised that the asphalt had plenty of life left and that sealcoating would help extend the life as well.

Parking Lot Repair Project – Water Pooling – drainage problems

Parking Lot with Pooling water

A few months back we completed a complete parking lot repair project.  The customer called with concerns about a parking lot drainage problem.  He also noted several other concerns with his parking surface.

Parking Lot Repair Consultation

Our consultant set up a walk through with the customer and did a complete parking lot evaluation.  His assessment concluded that their parking lot was experiencing a premature failure and was less than 15 years old.  He also found water was not draining properly and was pooling at the manhole, making a lake in the middle of their parking lot.  Consequently, this was a huge liability concern for them.
We advised the customer that just patching and doing repairs to the parking lot would over time cost more than removing and replacing the current deteriorated asphalt.  This customer was ready to invest thousands of dollars toward patching the lot each year when a complete renovation was much more cost effective.  We further advised that a retaining pond would need to be built in order for the water problem to be solved.

Proper Planning and the correct Solutions save money and time

We solved the water drainage dilemma by digging out and building a new retaining pond.  This allowed for the water to have a place to go after a hard rain.  Along with the new drainage system we also completely removed the current asphalt lot and replaced it with a brand new properly designed parking lot.  Our customer was overjoyed that we eliminated their liability with the new retaining pond, saved them money in the long run and solved their problem for years to come.  Other contractors had offered just mere patching when what they really needed was to redo the entire lot the right way.  ASP offered and delivered their solution!

Road Paving in Marshall, MI

City of Marshall Commercial Paving Project

As is customary here in Michigan, our roads take a beating and need consistent attention in order to function properly and safely.  Paving, Milling, and repairing roads is a large part of the commercial work that we do.  As we are located in Marshall, MI we do work in our town frequently.

Road Paving and Repair in Marshall, MI

The problem was the roadway was cracked to the point that it was a safety concern.  Our solution included milling the existing deteriorated surface and repaving the entire area.  The city needed this project to be completed with a very specific budget.  We completed our scope of work which fit their budget and timelines and began the process.

Our team milled out the deteriorated asphalt in the roadway.  This proved to be a very effective solution for Marshall.  We milled and paved as much of the roadway that we could while staying within the budget. We went the extra mile to ensure they got the best job possible.  The project turned out great!  They were very happy that we met the budget and scheduled the job in a very small window of time allowed.  We had the job done with 48 hours of them signing the bid.  The road looks great, functions properly and the safety concern was solved.

Road Paving in a Retirement facility -Kalamazoo, MI.

The client is a large property management company that called our office for a bid.  The property was a retirement community that had roadwork and pavement repair which needed to be done.

After visiting the property we discussed many options with the property manager.  As the budget was limited, we designed the most comprehensive paving solution that would look and function well.  We paved a 1 ½” overlay for the roadways throughout the facility.  The roads in the property were in need of some major repair.  They was cracking, crumbling, and had areas that were pooling water.  The client did not have a large enough budget to completely rip out and replace the roads.  This would have been the preferred solution, but here at Asphalt Solutions Plus we understand the complexities of budgets/budgeting and will work with you to provide effective solutions.

The client was so appreciative that we were willing to work with their budget and come up with a solution for them.

The client loved having us on their property and felt that we did everything we could to make all residents feel right at home during our renovation.  We made sure not to cause any inconveniences to the property owners and even provided golf cart transportation to the elderly so they would not have to walk.  They think the roads look amazing and many residents went out of their way to compliment us on our service.

Winter Weather and Asphalt

What exactly does harsh winter weather do to asphalt?

Winter weather with the freeze and thaw cycles cause the asphalt to contract and expand, forming those notorious cracks.  Once a crack appears, water seeps in underneath the asphalt, causing faster erosion of the sub level.  This eroding leads to those ugly potholes.

Therefore, it’s important cracks in the asphalt are addressed as soon as you the cracks appear.

Property managers and business owners should do a walk around their property and note any pavement defects found.  If any trouble spots are found, it’s time to make repairs.  CALL NOW before these problem areas become worse.  Depending on the size of a repair, Asphalt Solutions Plus offers products and a wide range of service solutions specially designed to fix particular structural and cosmetic issues before it becomes extremely costly.

Even if your asphalt is tired and lived it’s life, we offer many paving solutions … not just one.

Let us come and evaluate what winter has done to your property!
