Religious institutions frequently offer more than just a building for worship services. Many church properties include schools, basketball courts, child care facilities, clinics, playgrounds, community outreach facilities, and other community or social resources. Often, the people or committee members tasked with maintaining a church’s properties are unfamiliar with the best practices of pavement maintenance, and they may also be facing budgets that force them to make difficult decisions about their pavements. At Peterson Grading & Paving, we understand the unique challenges faced by churches and religious institutions. However, we also understand that neglected or poorly constructed pavements can place your visitors, your current budget, and your future financial plans at risk.
One critical step is to choose your paving contractor carefully. Take the time to locate several contractors with the proper experience, good reputations, and the appropriate staffing to handle your job. Ask for itemized quotes so that you can compare the job scope, materials, and labor costs separately. Do not base your decision solely on the total bid. Some bids may be substantially lower because the contractors plan to use inferior materials, cut corners, or pad their bills with incidentals or overruns. The quality of the initial construction plays a significant role in determining how often a pavement will need to be repaired, how costly the repairs will be, and how long the pavement will last before it must be rebuilt.
Proper maintenance helps ensure that your pavement will have a longer life, saving you money in the long run. Furthermore, damaged pavements are typically unsafe. Visitors could trip and fall over uplifted concrete slabs or pavement cracks, drivers could damage their tires or vehicles, and open potholes can give mosquitoes ideal places to breed, potentially spreading diseases throughout the neighborhood.
One of the easiest ways to help protect your pavement is to keep it clean. Promptly remove trash, puddles of oil, and other debris. Another thing you can do is to visually inspect your pavements every month or two so that you can address any minor issues before they become expensive problems. When you find issues, give us a call for help with the following services.
• Concrete repairs to level uplifted slabs, mend cracks, or take care of other issues are normally economical when performed soon after the problem occurs.
• Asphalt crack repairs can help prevent alligator cracking, potholes, and foundation damage.
• Asphalt sealcoating is an economical procedure that is an extremely effective way to prevent damage to the pavement from the sun and vehicle fluids.
• Parking lot striping can help you fit more cars in the same space, improve your curb appeal, and help enhance safety in your parking lot.
• Asphalt patching can be an economical way to repair potholes, alligator cracks, and several other types of pavement problems.
• Asphalt overlays can be installed on most asphalt or concrete pavements that have a stable foundation. Overlays are much more economical that rebuilding pavements, but it will be virtually impossible for most people to tell the difference between an overlay and a brand-new pavement.
