Asphalt Lot: Repair or Replace?
The asphalt on your property is an essential part of first impressions and promoting a safe environment. If it’s not in the best shape, your bottom line could suffer. This is why it is important to have any issues handled as soon as possible.
When an issue does arise, you may begin to question whether it should be repaired or replaced altogether. We are here to help you come to the best conclusion.
Consider the Cost
One of the biggest factors that will help you make this decision is the cost and what you have in your budget. If you don’t have the money it takes to replace the entire lot, you may just want to complete a quick fix for now. If you do have the money it takes, and the professionals feel a replacement is necessary, it would be a smart financial move to get it done.
Take a Look at the Damage
The severity of the damage in your asphalt lot is also going to play a large role in how you determine the solution. If the damage is quite severe, a simple repair might not cut it and could lead to even more damage down the road. If the damage is just a small hole or crack, a quick fix could be the best solution. A professional can help you make this determination based on what the damage looks like.
Understand the Age
If your asphalt is particularly old, it might make more sense to have it replaced instead of making quick fixes all over the place. The substrate is most likely compromised due to age, so damage will continue to arise. Consider the money you will be putting towards repair after repair and determine whether it will be better spent on a replacement.
When you’re considering whether to replace or simply repair the damage to your asphalt, there are many factors that should be given a good look. Contact Azzarelli by calling 813-296-6500 or sending us an email to figure out what’s right for your property.
