Property Owner's Course
Part 4: Investing in Your Own Asphalt Maintenance Program

As a commercial property owner/manager you know your parking areas represent a major investment that needs to be protected and maintained. You understand how a well maintained parking area is the face of your business and how it can impact the overall value of your property investment.

A brand new parking lot that has fresh sealcoat and fresh lines will stand out to a customer as it is what they see first when coming into your establishment. All asphalt surfaces need to be maintained, and it is much more cost effective to maintain than to replace.

It is important to realize and understand the cost difference in replacing asphalt compared to maintaining it. To hire a contractor to come in and replace your damaged asphalt would cost you anywhere between $7 and $10 per square foot. It is a difficult process and would still need to be maintained after installation.

Economically, it is much more efficient to maintain your properties yourself.

For instance, if you decide to hire a contractor to maintain your driveways, parking lots, roadways, etc., sealcoating would cost you anywhere between .12 cents to .20 cents per square foot. If you are looking to have cracks filled, factor in an additional $1.00 per linear foot. By purchasing your own equipment, sealcoat and crack filler you are saving 50% to 65% as it will only cost you .06 cents per square foot to sealcoat and .18 cents per linear foot to crack fill.


Parking Lot

Maintain Your Property's Asphalt Yourself:
Better Quality, Better Price

Maintaining Asphalt Yourself Sealcoating .06 cents per sq. ft. Crack Filling .18 cents per linear ft. Commercial airport grade sealcoat directly from the manufacturer.
Hiring a Contractor Sealcoating .15 cents per sq. ft. Crack Filling $1.00 per linear ft. Sealcoat that may or may not be diluted by the contractor.
Savings .11 cents per sq. ft. .82 cents per linear ft. Knowing you are using high quality, undiluted sealcoat


From the chart above you can see the value in completing asphalt maintenance on your own, but how does this apply directly to you? Submit photos of your job, along with the total square footage and including the total number of linear feet of cracks to be filled. In return we will provide you with recommendations on the proper equipment and the right amount of product to do your job successfully from a sealcoating expert.

Initially you will have a minimal investment with the cost of the equipment but if you are planning on maintaining your property yearly, the initial cost far out-weighs the price of hiring a contractor. Once the equipment is purchased, you will use it annually rather than putting out a large sum of money every year on hiring contractors.

Most property owners already have employees to look after their grounds, doing lawn work, gardening, janitorial work, etc. There is no need to hire additional staff to maintain your asphalt surfaces. Use the staff you currently employ instead of paying a contractor.

Your staff can also take advantage of the Asphalt Maintenance Course and speak with an Asphalt Expert at 1-866-399-5562. You can now increase your aesthetic value but not increase your property maintenance budget.
