About Asphalt Services
Understanding Asphalt Services
Asphalt services are an essential aspect of managing commercial properties, often overlooked yet carry significant importance regarding functionality and aesthetics. These services range from installation to maintenance, covering things like asphalt paving, resurfacing, repair, and sealcoating, among others. The need for commercial asphalt services is not just about creating or maintaining an appealing property but it carries with it tremendous functional and economic benefits.
Asphalt surfaces, due to their nature, need regular monitoring and care to maximize their lifespan while providing the perfect service for which they were installed. Common problems that affect asphalt surfaces range from cracks to potholes and unevenness. These problems, without professional intervention, escalate and could ultimately lead to the need for a major overhaul. Asphalt maintenance services are designed to tackle such issues in the bud, helping businesses save costs while ensuring a safer and appealing environment.
The Importance of Commercial Asphalt Services
Every business owner desires a property that’s easy on the eyes. A well-maintained asphalt surface instantly uplifts the transformational appeal of a commercial property. Beautifully paved and coated surfaces offer a good first impression to customers, clients, partners or employees, having a positive impact on the business image. Business owners can enjoy such benefits by choosing to invest in high-quality asphalt paving and sealcoating services.
On the flip side, failure to maintain asphalt surfaces can lead to serious safety issues. Potholes, cracks, or uneven patches cause tripping hazards, and in worse cases, damage to vehicles. Commercial asphalt services ensure a safer environment for customers and employees while reducing liabilities associated with potential accidents or damage.
Asphalt Resurfacing and Repair Services
Often, commercial properties deal with asphalt surfaces that have already seen better days. Dealing with an aged, cracked or potholed asphalt can be quite a challenge. In such instances, asphalt repair services come in handy, providing cost-effective solutions that restore asphalt surfaces to their prime condition. The repair process includes filling potholes and sealing cracks, among other servicing that ultimately enhances the durability and appearance of the asphalt surface.
In other cases, a simple repair may not suffice. This is true for cases where the asphalt surface is critically damaged or aged that a major overhaul is necessary. In such situations, asphalt resurfacing is the ideal solution. This process involves removing the top layer and replacing it with a fresh one. By engaging professional asphalt resurfacing services, businesses can give their commercial properties a face-lift, improving their overall look whilst increasing the lifespan and durability of the asphalt surface.
Asphalt Sealcoating Services
As the name suggests, asphalt sealcoating services involve the application of a protective layer over the asphalt surface. This coating shields the surface from elements such as sun, water, oils, and other fluids that often lead to cracks and wear. Additionally, sealcoating gives the asphalt a sleek, black, and appealing look that can significantly improve the aesthetics of any commercial property.
Asphalt Paving Services
When building new commercial properties or expanding existing ones, asphalt paving services are crucial. The paving process involves laying a new asphalt surface, creating sturdy and durable pavements, roads, parking lots, and other necessary surfaces within a commercial property. Professional asphalt paving services guarantee a smooth and perfectly leveled surface that can withstand heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions, ensuring longevity and value for money.
Final Thoughts
It goes without saying that the appearance of your commercial property can make a big difference in how your business is perceived. Asphalt services ensure that you maintain a professional and appealing outlook for your commercial property, providing practical and cost-saving solutions for your paving needs. Whether you require fresh asphalt installation, a touch-up to your old surface, or a regular maintenance routine, it is always advisable to engage professional services.
In conclusion, the value of commercial asphalt services cannot be overstated. They play a significant role in boosting your commercial property’s aesthetics, enhancing its usability, and ensuring safety for all its users. If you need asphalt services for your property, do not hesitate to reach out to professional service providers to discuss your options and understand how you can benefit from their expertise.

About Troy, Michigan
History
The earliest recorded purchases of land in what was known as Troy Township occurred in 1819. A couple of years later, a settlement known as Troy Corners was established due to Johnson Niles buying 160 acres in the region. The area is currently the north-central area of Troy. In 1827 Troy Township was established. In 1955, Troy was officially incorporated primarily as a strategy for preventing border cities from taking more land. This also helped to establish more robust city services for Troy residents, whose numbers increased rapidly during this time due to Detroiters fleeing the city for the surrounding suburbs.
It was named after Troy, New York, and the ancient city of Troy, as many of the early settlers, as in much of Michigan, originated from New York.
