Set Up Sweeping
The first task you need to complete for your 2024 success checklist?: Set up sweeping for your property. Sweeping provides a clean surface and deters particulates from entering crevices in your pavement. Dirt and debris left to rot on pavement cause undue damage and decrease the life of your pavement. Additionally, litter in your parking lot is a big hinderance to a healthy environment. Pavement sweeping removes trash that will otherwise travel into waterways and other natural areas. Protect our wildlife and waterways with regular parking lot sweeping. You know what else parking lot sweeping protects? Your reputation. The outside of your property is the first impression you display to patrons. A littered parking lot screams “unkempt and uncared for.” A parking lot swept clean provides a lasting positive impression. Patrons will be more likely to return to shops, and your tenants will be more likely to renew contracts. Set up sweeping now for success in 2024!
Determine Damage
Well, no one wants to talk about damage, but it is normal for properties to undergo wear and tear. Do not wait until it becomes an emergency. The small potholes you see now will only grow as time wears on. The crumbling concrete parking bumpers will fall into further disrepair. Time as it relates to your property does not heal all wounds. In fact, repairing damage sooner usually saves you money in the long-term. Most parking lot repair companies are willing to give estimates for future repairs. Many will even go ahead and schedule the repairs so you are worry-free as you begin the new year. Determine current damage to your property now and plan for repairs in 2024.
Prepare for Particulars
Your particular parking lot and property maintenance needs will vary based on many factors. You may be located in a snowy region. In this case, you should already have snow removal service contracted for winter. If not, call immediately to set this up. It has been a somewhat dry season so far, but we know the snow is coming! Many parking lot sweeping companies provide snow removal, so call yours today. If your property sees a lot of seasonal traffic around retail holidays, begin scheduling extra sweeps now. Schedule sweeps before and after major shopping weekends. Think about all the needs of your property and prepare for the particulars. Your local parking lot maintenance company is your best friend in this regard! They know your region and can help you think through your needs.
So, when it comes to the new year, don’t fret. Instead, plan for property maintenance success in 2024! Set up sweeping, determine damage, and prepare for particulars on your property. Your future self will thank you.
