Whether you manage a single commercial property or a portfolio of facilities across Western Pennsylvania, these resources will help you stay ahead of your asphalt maintenance needs.
Annual Spring Inspection: Look for new cracks, heaving, surface raveling, drainage issues, and faded striping. Document and prioritize repairs before the busy summer season.
Post-Winter Assessment: Pittsburgh winters are hard on parking lots. After the final frost, inspect for freeze-thaw damage, pothole formation, and any areas where de-icing chemicals have caused surface deterioration.
1 accessible space per 1–25 total spaces. 2 per 26–50. 3 per 51–75. At least 1 van-accessible space per every 6 accessible spaces. Consult your local municipality for any additional requirements beyond federal minimums.
Call Nye Line Striping when: striping is faded and no longer clearly visible, new potholes have formed, cracks are widening or connecting, you've had a recent sealcoating done and need restriping, or you're approaching the 2–3 year mark since your last sealcoating.
Spring. Walk the full lot after the final frost. Look for new cracks, potholes formed over winter, heaving, surface raveling, standing water, plow damage along edges and islands, and faded striping. Photograph and date anything you find.
Summer. The working season. Schedule crack filling and patching first, then sealcoating, then striping, in that order. Reversing the order wastes money.
Fall. Close out the year. Fill any cracks that opened over the summer so water is not sitting in them all winter. Verify that drains and catch basins are clear before leaf fall blocks them.
Winter. Plow with care. Keep blades off freshly sealed or striped surfaces where possible, and note any areas where de-icing chemicals pool so you can inspect them in spring.
At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible. Access aisles must be marked and kept clear. Signage must be mounted at the required height so it stays visible when a vehicle occupies the space. Check your local municipality for any additional requirements beyond the federal standard.
Quotes that differ sharply on price almost always differ on these answers. Comparing scope is the only way to compare quotes meaningfully.
Mil: one thousandth of an inch, used to describe applied paint film thickness.
Sealer dilution: the ratio of water and additives mixed into sealer concentrate. Exceeding the manufacturer's maximum stretches coverage and shortens service life.
Mastic: a flexible rubberised crack sealant suited to larger or actively moving cracks.
Hot-pour sealant: crack sealant applied molten so it penetrates and bonds to the crack walls, staying flexible through freeze-thaw movement.
Raveling: loss of aggregate from the pavement surface, leaving loose stone and a rough texture.
Alligator cracking: interconnected cracking indicating failure in the base beneath the surface.
Access aisle: the marked, no-parking area beside an accessible space that provides room to deploy a ramp or lift.
