Budgeting Tips For Property Managers

 

As a property manager, understanding the long-term financial impact of asphalt maintenance is crucial—especially in regions like Richmond and its surrounding counties, where shifting weather conditions can affect pavement longevity. Consider these real-world scenarios to guide your budgeting decisions:

Long-Term Savings Through Regular Sealcoating
A 100,000-square-foot parking lot is expected to last about 25–30 years. Without sealcoating every 4–5 years, you might need to begin repairs after just two years and plan for an overlay by year seven. By incorporating sealcoating into your maintenance routine, you could save up to $100,000 over the pavement’s lifespan.

Cost Comparisons Over Time
For a 75-space parking lot under light, occasional use, applying sealant every four to five years would total roughly $60,000 over 12 years. If you skip sealcoating, however, an overlay could cost $105,000 or more, not to mention the added expense of restriping every 18 months. These compounding costs quickly add up, making a proactive sealcoating strategy far more cost-effective.

Bottom Line
Prioritizing regular asphalt maintenance—such as routine sealcoating—helps you avoid unnecessary repairs, overlays, and frequent restriping. By planning ahead and investing in preventative measures, you protect both your property’s curb appeal and your bottom line. Over the long run, a proactive approach will save you time, money, and the headaches that come with premature pavement deterioration.

  • RHaving a well-designed plan is the first step toward effectively managing your commercial parking lot maintenance program. In areas like Richmond and the surrounding counties, understanding local weather patterns, construction timelines, previous maintenance history, traffic volumes, and tenant occupancy and turnover rates are all essential factors. By considering these variables during the planning phase, you can anticipate potential issues, allocate resources efficiently, and maintain a well-cared-for parking lot that supports both safety and satisfaction over the long term.
  • RDetermining which services to include in your parking lot maintenance budget is crucial. A well-designed, properly constructed, and regularly maintained asphalt parking lot typically lasts 20–30 years. If your pavement is new, consider factoring in annual striping costs for a polished appearance, as well as crack sealing and sealcoating every 2–3 years to preserve the surface. In regions like Richmond and the surrounding counties, this proactive approach helps ensure a longer lifespan, fewer costly repairs, and consistently appealing curb appeal.
  • REvery 7–10 years, it’s wise to budget for major restoration, whether that involves resurfacing (overlay) or a full removal and replacement. For larger parking lots, consider phasing these repairs over 2–3 years to balance costs and minimize disruptions. Taking this approach—particularly in growing regions like Richmond and its surrounding areas—helps maintain a consistently safe and attractive lot while managing long-term expenses more effectively.
  • RPrioritize addressing defects in heavily trafficked areas, such as drive lanes and walkways, to reduce safety risks and limit potential liabilities. By focusing on these critical zones first, you ensure a safer environment and preserve the functionality and appearance of your property.
  • RAddress defects in high-traffic areas—such as drive lanes and walkways—before tackling less critical issues. By prioritizing these sections, you promptly alleviate potential liabilities and create a safer, more accessible environment for everyone.
  • RAbove all, plan for preventative maintenance. This will ensure costs a kept down over the long-term periods.
