Potholes? Finding A Reputable Company For Your Parking Lot Repairs

Chances are, that if you live in Minnesota you are very familiar with potholes

. With the beauty of spring comes the nuisance of potholes. Potholes can damage both roadways, parking lots and even your car!

There are several different ways potholes can form. In Minnesota, the snow and ice of the long winters are extremely hard on asphalt. Moisture seeps into the pavement and softens it. Over time, the moisture refreezes, expands and causes further erosion. When the snow and ice melts, they leave a hole and the moisture softens it even more. Every time a car or truck hits the pothole it gets worse.

People often joke that there are two seasons in Minnesota - winter and construction. Summer is the time to repair the damage the winter has caused to the roadways and parking lots. It is a vicious cycle.

The city or state will repair roadways but what about commercial parking lots? If you are a business owner and your parking lot needs repair, it is up to you to not only arrange for the repair to get done but also pay for it. This means sourcing a pavement repair company too.

Finding a company to make the repairs can be challenging because there are a lot of independent contractors out there that will basically do any kind of repair even if they do not have experience or the necessary equipment to do the job right. How do you know if you are hiring a company that will do quality work?

Use the four tips below to help you find a high quality pavement repair company:

1. Proof of Insurance - Choose a company that is carrying current liability insurance. Ask to review the insurance certificate for the company. If the pavement repair company does not have current proof of insurance, do not sure them.

2. Check References - Check the pavement repair company's website for testimonials and photographs of their work. Make sure that the company has a proven track results. Ask for a list of completed projects and check references.

3. Understanding of Climate - Make sure that the pavement repair company has a thorough understanding of your climate. Making pavement repairs in Miami is much different that making repairs to your parking lot in Minneapolis.

4. Experience and Professionalism - Your next-door neighbor may be an expert handyman, but that doesn't mean that he is qualified for your parking lot repair job.

Remember choose a pavement repair company with real qualifications like the ones listed above. You may want to even try the company out on a smaller project. See how they do on the smaller project. Are you happy with the quality of the work? Did they do the job in a timely manner? Was the work done at a fair price? Did the company use the proper equipment and good products? If you're happy with the results, take the plunge and try them on a larger project.

Best of luck keeping your parking lot safe and pothole free!
