Kalamazoo Parking Lot Sealcoating and Striping Project

By Asphalt Solutions Plus
Wednesday, August 24th, 2022

Kalamazoo business owners may not know who to turn to if they need their parking lot serviced, but there’s a paving company with over 120 years combined experience in the asphalt industry dedicated to serving southwestern Michigan. We have services like parking lot sealcoating and striping that can restore a worn lot in no time.

Trust Asphalt Solutions Plus with Your Parking Lot Needs

Here’s some parking lot sealcoating and striping best practices from Kalamazoo MI’s trusted commercial paving company, Asphalt Solutions Plus!

  • Get sealcoating early. – The best time to sealcoat your parking lot is before it’s developed issues like alligator cracking that need to be fixed, so it’s a good idea to sealcoat even a newly installed parking lot to protect it from wear.
  • Get sealcoating often. – For commercial asphalt that sees a lot of vehicle traffic, you should get sealcoating services yearly. Less busy parking lots can get sealed every 2 – 3 years.
  • Asphalt sealcoating is the best service to get before line striping. – Not only does it protect your parking lot, sealcoating creates a smooth, dark surface that not only lets traffic paint adhere better but also makes parking lines and symbols more visible.
  • Don’t let your parking lot lines get faded. – Parking lines and traffic symbols need to stay bright to reduce accidents on your property.
  • Keep your parking lot ADA compliant. – Having handicapped parking spaces that are well marked and accessible is important for both liability and regulatory purposes.

Track and Parking Lot Paving in Homer MI High School

By Asphalt Solutions Plus
Monday, July 25th, 2022

In Michigan, Asphalt Solutions Plus is the trusted paving company because of our long history in the area and our dedication to quality work. We’re Homer MI’s go-to paving company because we’re full service and can perform all aspects of a pavement job. We’re also dedicated to our local communities, so when we got a call from a facility manager at the high school, we were happy to help them install a new asphalt sports area for the students.

Though most people think about parking lots and roads when someone says asphalt, this pavement material is also very good for running tracks and sport courts. As the area’s most experienced paving company, we know how to construct an asphalt running track so that it will last for decades. The best way to create a long lasting asphalt parking lot is to start with a well draining, stable gravel base, use only the highest quality asphalt, and finish it with state of the art compacting equipment.

Our crew was able to use those techniques to pave a running track for a Homer MI High School that will give students a place to run and exercise for decades to come. Not only did we pave the high school running track and exercise area, we also paved a nearby parking lot to give parents, faculty, and students a safe place to park while they were at the athletics facility.

Ready to improve your property with new pavement? Contact the best asphalt paving company in MI, Asphalt Solutions Plus, to get the same high level of service as the Homer MI high school.

Parking Lot Sealcoating FAQs

By Asphalt Solutions Plus
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021

Getting your commercial parking lot sealcoated is one of the best ways to restore, preserve, and protect your asphalt pavement from weather and wear, but this cost-effective paving service needs to be performed by a professional paving contractor. In Battle Creek Michigan, the trusted paving company is Asphalt Solutions Plus. We have over two decades experience with asphalt paving services like sealcoating, so we can restore your parking lot to full function in no time.

Parking Lot Sealcoating FAQs

Here’s some common questions commercial property managers and business owners have about sealcoating their parking lot.

How Does Asphalt Sealcoating Work?

While there are different formulations of pavement sealants, the basic sealcoating process involves spreading a especially mixed coating made up of asphalt binders and polymer additives over the surface of your parking lot using sprayers or squeegees.

What Are the Main Benefits of Sealcoating?

  • Fills minor cracks and holds crumbling pavement together.
  • Extends the life of your parking lot by preventing sun damage and physical wear.
  • Gives a nice, smooth black surface look.
  • Provides a perfect surface for painting parking stall lines and other pavement markings.

How Often Should I Sealcoat My Parking Lot?

First, you should apply a coating within a year of asphalt installation. For high traffic parking lots, once every two years is best, but sealcoating can be applied once every five years for lower traffic areas.

What Should I Do Before Getting a Parking Lot Sealcoat Applied?

Nothing! Your paving contractor should take care of everything. That said, they will most likely perform a thorough pavement inspection, clean the pavement, fill small cracks, and then apply a sealcoat.

The Cost of Parking Lot Sealcoating in Battle Creek MI

By Asphalt Solutions Plus
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021

Commercial property owners have a lot of assets to manage, and their pavement can easily get overlooked. This can be a mistake, though, as a beautiful and safe parking lot is a huge part of a business’ curb appeal. Even in manufacturing or industrial properties, a safe parking lot keeps wear on company vehicles low and keeps employees safe.

To keep commercial pavement in good repair, you need parking lot maintenance services from a reputable paving company. Asphalt Solutions Plus, Battle Creek MI’s premier asphalt paving company, has been providing these services to central Michigan property owners for over twenty years.

One of the best maintenance services for your parking lot is asphalt sealcoating, where your trusted local paving company spreads a thin coat of asphalt binder over the surface. Property owners are rightfully concerned about costs, so here’s a breakdown of costs for this paving service.

Cost of Parking Lot Sealcoating in Battle Creek MI

  • There are different factors that contribute to asphalt sealcoating costs, including:
  • Size of your parking lot, since most paving jobs are calculated per square foot
  • Complexity of design, such as islands in the lot, which can affect labor costs
  • Maintenance services like crack sealing that might need to be performed first
  • Other services like line striping that need to be performed after

In general, the square foot cost for sealcoating in Michigan is between $1.25 and $1.50 per square foot for both labor and materials.

Parking Lot Repair Project – Water Pooling – drainage problems

By ASP Admin
Friday, May 17th, 2013

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!
