Cassidy Paving often works with customers that have no plan in place for routine repairs. We receive a lot of calls regarding emergency services across New England, but you don’t have to wait until you’re in dire need of reaching out to us. There is no such thing as planning your repairs too early, even if your asphalt pavement is still relatively new. Starting and keeping an asphalt paving repair schedule is the best way to avoid untimely deterioration and costly paving maintenance surprises. Here are suggestions from our paving experts on how to stay in control of your asphalt and have a plan in place to address irregularities before they become a problem.
When Should You Repair Asphalt?
Planning Early
In a perfect world, the best time to start planning asphalt repairs is as soon as you get your new asphalt constructed. There is no better time to make a plan than from the very beginning when you know exactly what condition your asphalt is in. When you speak to your asphalt contractor about new construction, have them explain the process of regular asphalt maintenance services and repair. Even the best constructed residential asphalt driveway and parking lot paving will eventually need attention. If you have a maintenance plan in place, you won’t have to worry about being surprised by deterioration. Periodically (and at least yearly), you should have your paving contractor inspect the area for preventative repairs. The middle of winter is a great time for planning since you can’t complete major repair projects during the cold months. One of the best steps you can take to support your timeline and budget is to have a plan in place. There is always a rush for service in the spring, so if you know your pavement will need attention soon, don’t wait to give us a call. Calling now ensures efficient service so your asphalt issues aren’t getting worse as you wait behind a list of other projects.
The Benefits
The best thing about planning asphalt repairs well before they are needed is that you have complete control of your property. When you work with an asphalt maintenance company to make a detailed maintenance schedule, you stay ahead of costly repairs. If you wait for something to go wrong, you will find that the price to remedy those issues will be much more expensive than if you had a preventative maintenance schedule. When it comes to material like asphalt, you have to work off of rough estimates regarding its dependability. Things like weather fluctuations, increased traffic flow, and even heavier loads than expected can mean that you start to see asphalt potholes and cracks much earlier than you ever anticipated. When you have a repair plan in place before you see the issues, you’re more likely to catch them in the early stages of failure- saving you both time and money and keeping liability issues at bay.
