Almost a Million Dollars
1. With asphalt materials today it is not necessary to remove and replace full depth asphalt in most situations. 2. With a little bit more time upfront on the evaluation you could potentially have more options that you thought. 2″ Mill & Inlay is our “go-to” strategy for most of our clients now. We […]
Recession Proof Your CapEx
From all economic outlooks I have seen recently it looks like we have another good year, maybe two, of continued economic growth. Not many seem optimistic that our economy can continue to surge on after the next couple of years. It always seems harder to complete larger capital expenditure projects when times are tough. Tenants […]

Stop the Patches!
All joking aside, we see so many parking lots previously repaired using a “patch” method. This method of repair causes owners to spend more money in the future, because these patches don’t last and everything around those patches begin to deteriorate at a more rapid rate.

Drainage Issues Caused by ADA Upgrade
I was walking a shopping center for a client and came across this. An ADA upgrade was probably required by the city when this tenant moved in–no problem! However, the flow of water was not taken into consideration when they overlaid the asphalt to meet with ADA specifications. Not only does the water just sit, […]
Reflective Cracking & Patches

The patches that were done, were most likely done with a skid steer or backhoe and the uneven wobbly lines show that. Saw-cutting or a grinder attachment would have produced a cleaner […]

FortaFi Asphalt used at a Bus Depot
Man, we love this stuff! FortaFi fibers were used at a Bus Depot in Anaheim, CA (over 3 years ago) and the asphalt still looks new! There are before and after photos, and Scott talks about the process in this video. Some of the work done were patches, and even after 3 years, no reflective […]
Qualified Contractors are a Must!
Part of qualifying a contractor is making sure they can handle the work that needs to be done. Our clients want the work done well, and they want it done quickly. Getting a job done during slow or non business hours is crucial when managing a property, and multiple tenants. Are you asking the right […]
