There’s no better time than summer to jump on asphalt installation, maintenance, and repairs
After all, you have more hours of daylight per day, fewer weather-related interruptions, and longer curing times. These conditions will allow your local asphalt paving company to be extra productive.
What’s more, neglecting your asphalt pavement during the summer months can have severe repercussions, as the increased summer traffic and harsher UV rays can accelerate the deterioration of your pavement.
Make sure you take advantage of summertime by making these important asphalt upgrades as soon as possible!
Install New Asphalt
First, if you’re in need of new asphalt, now is the time to do it. The warm temperatures of summer allow more time for asphalt to cure so that your asphalt contractor is able to lay, compact, and smooth out your blacktop to perfection.
Whether you need an addition, overlay, or a complete removal and replacement, get in contact with your Toronto asphalt paving company to schedule new asphalt installation!
Address Any Repairs
It’s no secret that Toronto’s harsh winters can take a toll on asphalt surfaces. Once the snow melts and the water washes away, you may notice cracks in your pavement — the result of your asphalt contracting under low temperatures.
During the summer months, high temperatures will only cause these cracks to expand. It’s important that you call your asphalt paving contractor for crack sealing and pothole repairs, as ignoring these issues will exacerbate them and ultimately limit the life expectancy of your pavement.
Order New Sealcoating
Sealcoating is the first line of defense against the harsh UV rays that beat down on your blacktop surface. You should sealcoat at least once every three years or a few months after new asphalt installation, and right before summer is the best time to do it.
What’s more, sealcoating will dry faster in the summer — limiting any costly downtime to your business or property. Call your local asphalt paving company in Toronto to schedule new sealcoating before the summer heat kicks in.
Request New Line Striping
Snow and de-icing products can cause your black pavement and white lines to fade very quickly. If you have a parking lot or roadway, you may have already noticed that the painted lines in your pavement are starting to disappear.
Keep your asphalt surface safe and organized by ordering new line striping. Your paving contractor will restore your white lines to full visibility so that traffic knows exactly where to park and you limit any accidents.
Give Your Asphalt a Thorough Cleaning
The snow of winter and the rain of spring may have been masking some of the dirt, debris, and other blemishes throughout your pavement. At the same time, precipitation has probably prevented you from cleaning your blacktop surface.
Take advantage of better conditions by looking over your entire surface and removing any stains, spills, dirt, and debris.
