Starting a large asphalt paving project usually takes a lot of planning on the part of the customer. Cassidy Paving understands that, and to help with the process and decision making, we want you to be aware of the costs associated with the upkeep of your new driveway or parking lot for clients all across Massachusetts. This is not a “set it and forget it” type of project. Asphalt requires maintenance and it can get costly. To avoid being blindsided down the road and get the most out of your asphalt, here are the top three tips we have for you to budget ahead for asphalt maintenance.
Research Warranties
If you use the Cassidy Paving team from the very beginning of your paving work, you may be surprised to find out that all new full-depth work comes with a two year, 100% satisfaction guarantee. We highly suggest that you look for a company that will either warranty or guarantee their work for at least a year after the project is completed. Proper asphalt installation should not come with untimely failure or faulty design. Because we know that your investment is important, we want you to be assured that the service you receive with us is top of the line. There’s no worry on your part if anything were to go wrong with the service we provide. Having a company providing this for you can help you keep your budget in check and mind at ease.
Scheduled Maintenance
The best tip we have to budgeting for your asphalt maintenance is to get ahead of that maintenance. Don’t wait until you see a problem to call in our crew. The best way to approach your maintenance costs is to expect them. Your asphalt should be sealcoated once it is first installed and then it should be reapplied every 1-3 years depending on your specific wear and tear. This is an amazing way to prevent some of those bigger issues that can happen with asphalt. Also, as you see cracks and potholes, get them addressed right away. They will only worsen in time leaving you with bigger, more expensive issues. Staying ahead of these major issues is the best way to save money.
Phasing Repairs
If you have a large area that is paved and needs repairs, one of the best ways to save some cash is to do these areas and projects in phases. A phased approach will allow you a little bit of breathing room to save and keep your budget under control. Cassidy Paving can address the most important things first and break the rest of the repairs into stages throughout a specific timeframe. The choice is truly up to you, the customer.
