Considerations When Repairing Your Parking Lot

Imagine your ideal customer is meeting at your office or store for the first time. They recently just got a brand new car, and take pride in the detailing. They pull up to your store front and can’t find a place to park because of your pothole situation. Or maybe they just don’t want to soak their shoes in your flooded entryway. Not exactly the first impression you were looking for, eh? Maybe it’s time to consider updating your first impression.

Reasons to Repair and Replace Your Parking Lot

Fix Large Pot Holes in Your Parking Lot

Pot holes are not only a nuisance to the eye, they can cause tire damage and encourage more maintenance if left unfixed. Depending on how severe and how many pot holes are at your place of business you should research the cost difference between replacing and repairing the parking lot. Any well rated concrete contractor should be able to point you in the right direction.

Correct Drainage Issues for the Storefront

There are many factors that come in to why your business floods, i.e. the torrential rain downpours that Des Moines has been experiencing lately, but a less known factor could be your parking lot grading and drainage plan.
