About paving and preventive maintenance
Advanced Pavement Technologies is an experienced paving contractor. We have the expertise to assess and then carry through pavement repairs, overlays and total replacements, including rebuilding the base and sub-base, for small to large parking lots. We work for property owners and managers in hospitality, health care, publishing, industry and retail. Visit our Project Gallery to review examples of major paving projects.
A well-built parking lot can last 20+ years-- if it is maintained and repaired on the proper schedule. The chart below captures APT’s perspective: proactive, preventive maintenance helps postpone costly repaving projects. In brief, delayed or inconsistent maintenance can reduce your lot to poor or failing condition in as few as 10 years. You can enjoy a 4:1 or 3:1 return on timely maintenance as a result.

However, if some or most of your parking lot already has a heavy network of deep cracks, you need to make a decision about how to make the repairs.
• If the damage is isolated, you may be able to patch and do a pavement overlay. Using fabric can prevent new cracks from appearing or ghosts of old cracks from appearing on the new surface. Then the seal coat goes on to meld the old and new surface colors.
• If the heavily cracked areas are many and close together, or have become frequent potholes, you may be a candidate for milling out the old and patching it. We recommend fabric overlay below the new patch to extend the life of the pavement and make it better than new.
