Whether you serve on a homeowner association committee or a condo board, you are expected to spend the dues and fees collected in a prudent manner. Sometimes, you may question whether certain actions meet the standards of prudent financial management. For example, you may wonder whether sealcoating is appropriate for your HOA or subdivision. It is more than appropriate; it is highly advisable. Regular applications of a high-quality asphalt sealant can help you attract buyers, help your residents protect their property values, and help you reduce your long-term costs for your pavements.
How Does Asphalt Sealcoating Subdivisions Help Attract Buyers?
People who are looking to buy a home tend to prefer well-kept, safe neighborhoods. Your Marietta sealcoating contractor can help ensure that the pavements in your subdivision offer excellent curb appeal, provide enhanced traction for pedestrians and vehicles, and are kept free from potentially hazardous cracks and potholes.
How Does Sealcoating Help Homeowners Protect Their Property Values?
A desirable neighborhood usually consists of more than a collection of houses. Often, there will be a community clubhouse, tennis courts, a pool, basketball courts, and a childcare center. There may also be walking trails, golf cart paths, jogging tracks, playgrounds, and parking lots. When the streets and other pavements show signs of neglect and deterioration, property values can decline if potential buyers decide that the neighborhood does not justify the price that sellers want for their homes. Sealcoating HOA pavements is an economical way to ensure that the community makes a good first impression.
How Does Sealcoating Help Reduce the Long-Term Costs of Paving?
A professionally applied sealcoat can prevent the damage that the sun and automotive fluids can inflict on asphalt pavements. It will also increase the natural water-resistant properties of asphalt. As a result, your pavements will experience fewer severe cracks and potholes, and there is less likelihood that the supporting foundation will suffer damage that could leave it unstable and weakened. In turn, your pavements will require fewer costly repairs, and they will be far more likely to achieve or exceed their projected life expectancies.
How Often Should Marietta Sealcoating Be Applied?
New asphalt pavements and overlays should be sealed no later than one year from the date of installation, but they should not be sealed until the asphalt is sufficiently cured. The schedule for fresh applications depends on several factors, including the amount and type of traffic the pavement receives. For example, busy parking lots and heavily trafficked streets in your subdivision may need to be sealed every two years or so, but cul-de-sacs and other pavements that receive little traffic may not need to be sealed as frequently. Your sealcoating company can recommend the appropriate schedule for your specific pavements.
