How Parking Lot Maintenance Can Save You Some Money

So you’re probably asking yourself why you should spend all of this money on maintaining your parking area with maintenance every 3 years or so? Isn’t that just throwing a lot of money onto piling layer after layer onto your parking area?

The answer to this is a resounding “no”. In fact, by doing your regular maintenance, you’re actually saving yourself quite a bit of money. Sure, it seems obvious that you’re preventing a costly repair later on, but it’s also important to consider that the cost of maintenance will actually go down as well.

For example, you could be spending upwards of $39 per square yard over a 15 year period if you don’t maintain your asphalt. However, with regular maintenance, that cost goes down a dramatic amount of less than $24 per square yard. Over a 15 year period, that’s a savings of nearly $46, 000 over a 15 year period, or over $3000 per year.

More importantly is the unspoken cost of that impression you give to your customers, your clients, or your new tenants. It’s your first impression, and speaks volumes about how well you maintain your business. If you’re a landlord, it tells your potential tenants a great deal about how you might maintain your apartments. If you’re a business owner with customers and clients, it gives a good idea about how much attention to detail you’re willing to give to their needs.

Best of all, it’s a statement as to how you take pride in your business, how important a clean and neat place of business is to you, and a good understanding of how a first impression is your best and only chance to give a good impression.
