Asphalt Repair Fort Lauderdale

If you’re looking to improve the appearance and safety of your asphalt pavement, it could be time to consider asphalt maintenance and repairs with Atlantic Southern Paving. Asphalt repair in Fort Lauderdale is a common service that helps to restore the integrity of asphalt surfaces across residential and commercial applications.

Atlantic Southern Paving and Sealcoating is proud to be regarded among the top paving companies in Florida and beyond. Continue reading to learn more about asphalt repairs and what sets our asphalt paving company apart from our competitors.

There are a number of different asphalt repair techniques available, many of which can both enrich the structural integrity of asphalt surfaces as well as their overall aesthetics. And when it comes time to schedule asphalt repair in Fort Lauderdale, why not depend on the experts on our team?

 

Types of Asphalt Repair in Fort Lauderdale

Asphalt Sealcoating 

Asphalt sealcoating is an important element that is recommended by most asphalt paving contractors. The sealcoating is applied on the asphalt surface, creating a protective layer that keeps out harmful elements, like water, oil, and gas.

Sealcoating also protects the asphalt from UV rays, another element known to weaken asphalt surfaces. Better still, a fresh coat of sealcoating can make the pavement look like new again, increasing its appearance while adding to its overall longevity.

 

Crack Sealing 

Asphalt crack sealing is an important application, especially for commercial asphalt settings. A crack in asphalt allows elements like water to get in, loosening up the binding and materials that the asphalt layers are made of.

Over time, this depletion will reduce the integrity of the asphalt, creating worse problems, like potholes. Crack sealing asphalt keeps the elements from entering the pavement and can be done prior to asphalt sealcoating for strong, great-looking results.

 

Asphalt Overlays 

Asphalt overlays are a great investment for businesses that have aging asphalt pavement that is still structurally strong. What asphalt overlays entail is pretty straightforward. A new layer of asphalt is applied directly over an existing asphalt surface.

In the event that the structural state of the asphalt is no longer strong, asphalt milling is recommended. Asphalt milling is done by removing the problematic layers prior to asphalt paving. Speak with a paving contractor directly if you are unsure if asphalt milling is necessary for your property.

Our up-to-date equipment, professional expertise, and commitment to excellent results have given us a reliable reputation as one of the top paving companies in Florida. Please contact our team to get a free paving estimate or to speak with an asphalt technician in more detail.

If you’re looking for the top asphalt paving contractors in Fort Lauderdale to help with asphalt repair and maintenance, keep us in mind. Atlantic Southern Paving and Sealcoating has decades of experience providing commercial asphalt services of all kinds.

Checklist to help you with Insurance, Things Change in your Family life! | SFPMA

Checklist to help you with Insurance, Things Change in your Family life!

Changes in your life or lifestyle mean you should update your auto, home and umbrella insurance coverage. You may find you can save money by dropping unneeded coverage (say, for a child who has left for college) or that you need extra insurance (say, for heirloom jewelry you’ve just inherited)

Renovations to your main home or a new building on your property (say, a gazebo) can mean you’re underinsured and need to increase the value of the structures coverage on your home policy. This is especially important if you’ve put in a lot of money into renovation, or expanded your square footage

You need a policy review if you’ve bought (or inherited) any jewelry, fine arts, furs or collectibles such as wines, instruments, coins, guns or cameras. These are items you may want to list separately, or it may be cheaper to include them under a “collectibles rider.” You also need revisions if your collectibles have appreciated in value.

It’s hard to believe, but people forget to take old cars off their policies when they trade in one car for another. If you have any motorized toys, such as all-terrain vehicles, boats, or jet skis, make sure that your underlying auto or home policies, as well as your umbrella, cover your use of these.

If your teenager starts driving or you let an au pair or nanny drive your car, you must add him or her to your policy. Before you buy a car specifically for this new driver’s use, check the impact on your premiums. Some carriers will let you assign a young driver to a clunker, while others assume a young driver is using most valuable car in your garage, making it cheaper not to add another car.

 

Your Kids Are Leaving Home

If your kids go to college out of town, call your auto insurer–they’ll still be on your policy, but the policy’s cost should go down. If they move out permanently, make sure to take them off your auto policy.

If you transfer ownership of your house, artwork, a car or any other asset into the name of a trust, limited liability company or family limited partnership, you need to add the entity as an additional insured on your policy. If you’ve transferred the home you live in to a trust for estate planning purposes, you want both your name and the name of the trust on the policy.

No matter what’s going on in your life, you should review your insurance coverage at least once a year. The easiest time to do this is when the renewal notices come. Your insurer (or agent) will notify you of changes or “amendments” to your policies, for better or worse. Read that new fine print, as it may mean you need to take action.

 

  • Check for loose or leaky gutters. Improper drainage can lead to water in the basement or crawl space. Make sure downspouts drain away from the foundation and are clear and free of debris.
  • Low areas in the yard or next to the foundation should be filled with compacted soil. Spring rains can cause yard flooding, which can lead to foundation flooding and damage. Also, when water pools in these low areas in summer, it creates a breeding ground for insects.
  • Use a screwdriver to probe the wood trim around windows, doors, railings and decks. Make repairs now before the spring rains do more damage to the exposed wood.
  • From the ground, examine roof shingles to see if any were lost or damaged during winter. If your home has an older roof covering, you may want to start a budget for replacement. The summer sun can really damage roof shingles. Shingles that are cracked, buckled or loose or are missing granules need to be replaced. Flashing around plumbing vents, skylights and chimneys need to be checked and repaired by a qualified roofer.
  • Examine the exterior of the chimney for signs of damage. Have the flue cleaned and inspected by a certified chimney sweep.
  • Inspect concrete slabs for signs of cracks or movement. All exterior slabs except pool decks should drain away from the home’s foundation. Fill cracks with a concrete crack filler or silicone caulk. When weather permits, power-wash and then seal the concrete.
  • Remove firewood stored near the home. Firewood should be stored at least 18 inches off the ground at least 2 feet from the structure.
  • Check outside hose faucets for freeze damage. Turn the water on and place your thumb or finger over the opening. If you can stop the flow of water, it is likely the pipe inside the home is damaged and will need to be replaced. While you’re at it, check the garden hose for dry rot.
  • Have a qualified heating and cooling contractor clean and service the outside unit of the air conditioning system. Clean coils operate more efficiently, and an annual service call will keep the system working at peak performance levels. Change interior filters on a regular basis.
  • Check your gas- and battery-powered lawn equipment to make sure it is ready for summer use. Clean equipment and sharp cutting blades will make yardwork easier.

 

 

DID YOU KNOW? Your homeowner’s insurance policy doesn’t cover flood damage. That requires a separate flood policy. Your homeowner’s policy could, however, cover other damage that is water related. 

 

You visit your doctor for a yearly checkup… why wouldn’t you do the same with your insurance agent? An annual review of your insurance policies is recommended because your financial situation can change year to year. A review doesn’t have to be time consuming like most people think. If you haven’t been getting a yearly review, it makes sense to start now. There is little to be gained by carrying the wrong types or amounts of insurance and so much, potentially, to be lost!
