Project Background

Upon initial contact from the client regarding their Neptune Township luxury apartment complex, we embarked on a detailed evaluation of the asphalt and concrete areas alongside the owner's onsite manager. Surprisingly, the initial request for milling and paving was reconsidered as the asphalt still boasted 5-7 years of serviceable life. We proposed an alternative solution of pavement maintenance and seal coating, highlighting significant cost savings for the client. It was concerning to learn that the other paving companies involved in scoping the project had overlooked this crucial information, further emphasizing the value of our comprehensive approach.

The client decided to follow our recommendation and ended up saving nearly $130,000.00 in the process.

How We Assess A Project When Preparing A Cost Proposal

Our expertise lies in conducting thorough site evaluations for asphalt and concrete projects. Unlike many contractors who simply estimate sizes or use rough measurements, we take a meticulous approach to job costing. This sets us apart from others in the pavement maintenance industry who may underbid projects and resort to substandard materials or shortcuts. While we may not always be the lowest-cost provider, we prioritize being the "lowest risk" provider by delivering the highest value. Clients often choose us not for our affordability, but for our comprehensive proposals and deep understanding of project requirements. Our commitment to detailed scoping sets us apart, ensuring that clients feel confident in entrusting their projects to us.

Our expertise in asphalt assessment and transparent business model was able to save this client over $130,000.00.

Upon completion of our assessment, we utilize proprietary software to map out a detailed site evaluation, pinpointing the exact locations for all proposed work, from sealcoating to repairs. This comprehensive approach ensures that the client gains a clear understanding of the project scope, costs, and locations where work will be conducted on their property. Armed with this valuable information, we swiftly move on to crafting a detailed cost proposal, typically dispatched via email on the same day that the project assessment is completed.

Unique Challenges For This Project

The challenges posed by this project were characteristic of multi-family properties like apartment complexes, condominiums, townhouse developments, senior living communities, and other residential areas that cannot be closed off during construction. These types of projects require meticulously planned logistics to minimize disruptions for residents. We strategically phase the project to ensure minimal impact, as illustrated below.

This detailed map is distributed to the residents of the community as well as to vendors like trash and recycling pick-up services. It provides a visual representation of each phase of the work being conducted, ensuring everyone is aware of the ongoing activities. Additionally, specific instructions are provided to clients regarding when the asphalt can be accessed, how to handle situations like sprinkler adjustments, notifications to vendors, walking pets, and coordinating bus pick-ups and drop-offs for children.

Where The Magic Happens (Go-Time!)

Upon finalizing the contract, the project moves into the scheduling phase. We keep our clients informed every step of the way through various communication channels, including email, text messages, and phone calls. For larger and more complex projects, we provide a detailed phasing diagram that can be shared with tenants to outline which areas will be temporarily closed, allowing them to make necessary arrangements for employees and deliveries.

Cleaning & Preparation:

We begin by cleaning the asphalt thoroughly including removing any grass from the cracks with a combination of 3 applications of Round-Up and a heat lance for preparing cracks that used compressed air and flame heated to 1,800 degrees to blast out foreign debris.  We provide cleaning so thoroughly you can eat off of the asphalt when we are done.  

Crack Sealing:

Cracks are cleaned thoroughly and filled with a hot rubberized crack sealant

                  .   

Asphalt Repairs:

Installation Of Underdrain/Drainage Tile/Catch Basin Rebuilds: 

We implemented underdrain systems in two key areas where underground water was surfacing. This not only prevents ice formation in winter and moss growth in warmer months, reducing slip and fall risks. Additionally, ensuring proper drainage is essential for the longevity of the asphalt surface, as pavement sealer cannot adhere effectively if underground water issues persist. Addressing these drainage issues before future asphalt milling and paving projects, scheduled in 5-7 years, is crucial to prevent water from resurfacing through the newly laid asphalt.

Asphalt Seal Coating:

The pavement sealer was strategically applied in three phases to minimize disruption to residents. The work was scheduled from Monday to Wednesday, aligning with quieter days at the properties and avoiding conflicts with trash and recycling pickups.

What Are The Risks Of Having The Wrong Pavement Contractor Scope Your Project?

POOR GUIDANCE LEADS TO WASTED BUDGET DOLLARS:

With over 25 years of experience in the industry, we have learned that not all contractors specializing in seal coating or paving have the best interests of your asphalt at heart.

We believe in a holistic assessment of your pavement needs, offering a range of services tailored to the specific requirements of your asphalt.

Whether it's minor pothole repairs or complete pavement rehabilitation, we prioritize providing honest advice based on the actual condition of your asphalt. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the most suitable and cost-effective solution for your pavement needs. By understanding the unique characteristics of your asphalt, we can offer tailored recommendations that prioritize longevity, durability, and overall pavement health.

At FixAsphalt.com, we believe in transparency, integrity, and delivering results that exceed expectations. Our commitment to understanding the true needs of your asphalt sets us apart in the industry, ensuring that your pavement receives the care and attention it deserves for long-lasting performance. Trust us to provide expert guidance and reliable solutions for all your pavement maintenance and repair needs.

Your asphalt and concrete services represent a significant investment in your commercial property. When seeking estimates for asphalt or concrete projects, it's crucial to involve industry experts who can craft a customized scope of work that optimizes your budget and prioritizes your best interests over those of the contractors.
