As the saying goes,Paving The Way For A Good First Impression Articles "You don't get a second chance to make a first impression." This is true with people and with parking lots. The parking lot and store front are the first things that your customers see. A parking lot that is in disrepair reflects poorly on your business and may even cause potential customers to pass you buy. Whether you run a retail establishment, own and operate an office building or an apartment complex, first impressions are crucial. This is why it is so important to invest in quality paving in Lake Placid NY and maintain that investment with seal coating and striping.

Having a new seal coating placed on top of your parking lot paving in Lake Placid NY will make it look as good as it did when it was first installed. The first thing your customers will see is smooth, uniform jet black surface. Seal coating will also smooth a rough surface, making it safer for customers and reducing your potential liability. You won’t have to worry about someone twisting an ankle or tripping on a piece of uneven pavement. Furthermore, having new seal coating every three to five years will extend the life of your pavement. It strengthens the asphalt against the various elements that can soften asphalt and cause crumbling, deterioration or shrinking.

Once you have a new seal coating in place, you will also need new striping on your parking lot. A company that specializes in commercial paving in Lake Placid NY should also offer striping services that includes the layout and design as well as painting with the highest quality paint. Of course striping doesn’t just apply to parking stalls. It can also help to guide your customers safely in and out of the parking lot with clearly marked entrances and exits, designate loading zones and crosswalks, as well as no parking zones. Quality striping services will reduce confusion and potential hazards, again reducing your potential liability.

Customers will appreciate a well designed parking lot with a smooth, attractive surface. A freshly paved and painted parking lot will make a good first impression of your property. Providing quality goods and services that leave a lasting impression is up to you.
