We were recently contacted by a customer interested in hiring an asphalt contractor to do parking lot repair in Pekin. The customer worked as the property manager for a local hotel and needed to find a company that specialized in parking lot paving and sealcoating to complete some work on their parking lot.
The hotel had recently booked a large event and wanted to spruce up their property before the big day. They were to host a conference open to business individuals interested in driving the online growth of their companies. The conference was expected to be fairly well-attended, so it was an excellent opportunity for the hotel, but also one of high stakes.
The pressure was on to ensure every last detail would satisfy the hotel’s guests, and that included the parking lot. We went out to see the lot straight away, so we could begin plans for the project. For the most part, the parking lot was in pretty good shape, needing only slight parking lot repair in a few areas. There were a few minor potholes from last winter and some scattered spots that would require crack sealing and parking lot patching.
Estimate for Parking Lot Maintenance was Provided
Overall, this would not be a difficult project for a company like ours with so much experience in asphalt paving in Pekin. We were able to get started on the parking lot repair right away, and began with the crack sealing to block off any passages for moisture to reach the asphalt base. This would prevent future collapses in the pavement. Next we tackled the parking lot patching, covering up the potholes and any other areas of the lot that showed damage.
Once the parking lot repair work was complete, we moved on to the sealcoating. This would give the parking lot a smooth, finished look that was sure to impress the conference guests. It would also help protect the asphalt from future damage and lengthen its lifespan.
When the sealcoating was done, the hotel workers were finally able to see the finished project, and they were incredibly pleased. The work our company completed made a huge difference on the overall impression of the hotel and would undoubtedly have a positive impact on the experience of the conference guests.
A few weeks later, we received a message from the hotel letting us know that the conference went off without a hitch, and was so successful that the conference organizers asked them to host again the following year. The hotel thanked us for our part in making that happen and said they’d be in touch next year to schedule some parking lot maintenance.
The crew arrived Monday morning and started to clean the parking lot. We do this so we can remove all the dirt, chemicals, and debris, so our repairs will be effective. The crew began working on the parking lot patching where there was extensive damage. Once the crew was able to patch these areas we moved on to filling the cracks in the lot. The crew returned the following morning to apply sealcoating, which would add strength, durability, and a nice appearance, which would be beneficial to the new HD Theater that was just built. The parking lot repairs went as planned and with the weather cooperating we were able to finish ahead of schedule for the client.
Once the parking lot repair work was complete, we could move on to the customer’s other request: that this new parking lot last longer than its predecessor. To accomplish this, we began sealcoating the area. This would add an extra layer of protection to reduce cracking and prevent moisture from weakening the pavement. The sealcoating also provided an additional bonus of making the lot look fresh and new.
The crew arrived on the day that was scheduled. The sun was shining and there wasn’t any rain in the future forecast, which would help in getting the project done on time. The crew began cleaning the lot, then they started the parking lot patching and crack sealing the problem areas. The crew then made additional parking lot repairs, and afterwards the sealcoating was applied. We were able to have the parking lot looking fantastic for the customer. When we were all finished, the business owner said the parking lot turned out just like we said it would. He told us that he had had his doubts because the lot was in such bad shape, but with our parking lot paving service it now looked great! He was really happy with our work, and even invited some of our crew members to the soft opening of the restaurant so we could try his food. We were thrilled at the thought of some delicious food, and even more proud that we were able to help out a local business owner get off the ground and up and running.
She wanted to make sure the long, winding driveway leading up to her parking area was in excellent condition, as it would be one of the first things guests would see as they made their way to the backyard for the ceremony. We came up with a plan that would exactly satisfy her needs and presented our ideas and estimate to her the next day. She agreed to the plan and was eager to get started on the improvements.
The landlord admitted that, in an effort to save costs, they’d focused on parking lot maintenance for the front of the lot, as the number of patrons didn’t usually call for the use of the extra spots. In recent months however, new tenants in the strip mall had been attracting larger quantities of customers, such that the forgotten rear of the parking lot was now necessary to accommodate everyone.
