- We set up professional traffic control on your property to protect your customers, employees, and tenants. All cones, signs, and other traffic controls will be neatly maintained until the completion of your project.
- A milling machine removes the surface of your parking lot, loading a fleet of dump trucks to haul the millings off-site.
- As we mill the surface, a cleaning crew follows closely behind, carefully preparing the area for overlay.
- When the cleaning is finished, a commercial-grade concentrated tack oil is applied to the surface to promote adhesion between the bottom and top layers of asphalt.
- Our team begins to work the edges meticulously, and a fleet of dump trucks begins backing up to one of our cutting-edge asphalt pavers.
- As our paver lays down the perfect mat of asphalt, the most critical part of the project is also taking place— compaction. A vibratory roller drives back and forth at the proper pace, correct roll pattern, and precise timing.
- One of our expert striping crews carefully lays out the parking design based on your needs and specifications. Then, the paint is precisely applied with one of the most advanced striping machines on the market.
First, call Encore Pavement. We’ll send a professional analyst to determine the best course of action for your pavement. Our team is dedicated to completing quality repairs and is ready to repair your pavement in the most cost-efficient way.
- If only a surface failure has occurred, asphalt defects may be properly repaired by milling off the top lift of asphalt and placing new asphalt in the area removed.
- If the asphalt has an evident base failure, we will completely remove the area down to the base, recompact the underlying base material, and install a completely new asphalt patch.
- Along with routine inspections and maintenance, sealcoating your asphalt will significantly slow the deterioration process. For maximum assurance, we recommend our customers apply a sealcoat approximately 12 months after the initial installation and again on a regular basis every 36-48 months.
- The bright pavement markings’ color contrast is attractive, and they also help communicate that the property is well maintained.
- A professionally planned parking lot maximizes space, allowing for the most vehicles possible, and creates an efficient traffic flow, allowing visitors to enter, park, and exit quickly. Once visitors exit their cars, they are directed safely by markings and signs that indicate crosswalks, loading zones, pickup areas, and more.
- By utilizing our expertise in ADA compliance to assess your building’s accessibility, we will quickly add value to the cost of your project by proactively making recommendations to the property owner or manager to prevent future fines and citations. With the ultimate goal of ensuring a safe and ADA-compliant parking lot, your customers with disabilities will greatly appreciate the effort.
Maintaining asphalt with sealcoating is a small expense that secures nearly a 300 percent increase in asphalt life.
An unmaintained surface will likely require an overlay in as little as seven years compared to 15 years or more for a sealcoat-maintained parking area.
