Asphalt Maintenance I Wichita, Kansas

Unfortunately, when it comes to parking lots, a bad repair job isn’t always apparent until weeks – even months or years – after the work is performed. In most cases, “fly-by-night” contractors are long gone by this time. That’s why it is important to know what you’re asking for, and to recognize some warning signs of unscrupulous operators:

PREQUALIFY YOUR CONTRACTORS:

	Deal with recognized companies.

	Get competitive bids.

	Ask for a written proposal. If the price is too good to be true, there’s a good chance you’re being short-changed in materials and workmanship.

	Check with the Better Business Bureau. Find out if the contractor has had any negative reports.

	Check the contractor’s address to make sure it is a legitimate place of business. A contractor with only a post office box, or no address at all, can be a bad risk.

ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS:

	Is the product being diluted? Mixing the sealer material with too much water or too much sand will weaken the surface. For coal tar sealer, standard dilution rates for the industry are 20-25%.

	Is the contractor using latex? Latex suspends the material in the asphalt sealer, making it wear longer.

	What is the approximate dry time? Unless the humidity is unusually high, most applications should dry to touch within 2-4 hours, and support traffic within 8-12 hours. Any longer can be a clue that the product is overly diluted.

	Can you provide references from previous customers? Check references to make sure other customer's experiences with the company were satisfactory.
