Commercial Paving for the greater Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Area!
Whether you are installing an overlay, rebuilding a parking lot, or constructing new streets in a subdivision, the selection of your contractor is of paramount importance. Unless your contractor has the necessary skills, your commercial pavement could be an unsightly mess that deteriorates within just a few years. Furthermore, the entire project could be plagued by delays that annoy your customers, residents, or employees. Although it is important to select a competent contractor for residential paving projects, the contractor’s skills are decidedly more critical on commercial paving projects.
First of all, commercial projects tend to be larger in scope than residential projects. For example, a suburban driveway typically covers about 600 square feet, but a parking lot that only provides spaces for 20 cars could cover 6,000 square feet or more. In addition, parking lot pavements are almost always designed to support a higher volume of traffic as well as potentially heavier vehicles. Typically, controlling traffic around the work area is also more complicated on commercial projects than on residential projects. As you probably know from your own business, the more complex a project is, the greater the need is for specialized expertise. Whether they are building a self-driving car, designing a dam near a fault line, or installing an asphalt overlay or new asphalt paving, the person responsible for the project must have the right skills. For an asphalt company, these skills include experience in everything related to all types of asphalt paving services. Whether you need a parking lot repair, an asphalt overlay, or any other type of Chicago asphalt paving service, be sure to select a contractor with relevant experience and skills.
When you start searching for a paving company to install or repair your asphalt pavement, you want to find an asphalt company that has extensive experience with commercial pavements that are similar in complexity to your own project. You will need to ask questions, conduct your own research, and seek recommendations from other property managers you know and trust. As you proceed, look for evidence that the Chicago asphalt paving contractor you are considering has the following skills.
1. Paving contractors need the ability and willingness to pay careful attention to details. Paving projects typically require multiple asphalt deliveries that must be carefully timed to ensure that the mix can be placed and compacted before it cools excessively. Traffic control measures must be planned in advance so that you can communicate vital information to your tenants or employees. The contractor will need to schedule the equipment and personnel to complete your project in a timely manner. There can be hundreds of little things that the contractor must consider, and overlooking a single detail could potentially have serious consequences.
2. Chicago asphalt paving contractors must be especially adept at interpreting the weather forecasts. Although Chicagoland weather can turn on a dime, experienced contractors prefer to schedule jobs when conditions are the most favorable so that the work will be of a high quality, delays will be minimized or eliminated, and your business operations will not be unnecessarily impacted.
3. An experienced, reputable asphalt company will be able to evaluate your paving needs to find the most cost-effective solution. For example, in some cases, the contractor might recommend a parking lot repair instead of a full overlay, or he might recommend an overlay instead of a total reconstruction. Look for a contractor with the skills and tools to conduct a thorough evaluation of your entire site, including potential drainage issues, base integrity, and soil conditions.
4. A great paving company understands the importance of routine maintenance for extending the life of an asphalt pavement. Furthermore, they keep their equipment properly maintained to reduce the possibility of a failure in the middle of your job. Always ask potential contractors how they maintain their equipment, whether they have duplicates that could be brought in if a failure occurs during your project, and whether they own all of the equipment needed for your project.
