Replacing Your Parking Lot in Des Moines

Deciding whether you should replace or simply repair damage to your concrete parking lot requires an informed decision, typically based on an inspection by a professional concrete contractor.    

Repairing Your Commercial Parking Lot is Possible if:

  • Less than 25% to 30% of concrete pavement needs repairs

  • Foundation is structurally sound

  • Concrete pavement is less than 20 years old

  • Cracks are smaller than a quarter inch wide

  • Cracks are shallow (not several inches deep)

Replacing Your Parking Lot May be Necessary if :

  • More than 25% to 30% of the concrete surface is damaged and needs repairs

  • Structural damage has made the foundation is unstable

  • Your concrete surface is more than 20 years old

  • Cracks in the parking lot are more than ¼ inch wide

Scheduling a Professional Concrete Parking Lot Bid:

Before proceeding with replacing or repairing your parking lot, it’s important to have a professional, licensed concrete contractor provide an official opinion and bid. While repairs may be less expensive in the short-term, eventually there will reach a point where the maintenance exceeds the cost of new concrete installation. An ROI evaluation on drainage issues, foundation cracking and maintenance costs must play a factor in this decision. With proper installation, your new concrete area can last another 30 – 40 years.
