If you own a business with a parking lot, it is important to keep it in good repair. This includes having it restriped when stripes fade and are difficult to see in order to reduce your liability. Here are three reasons to make parking lot stripes visible for customers and others to see.
Prevent Accidents
When parking lot stripes become hard to see, customers may end up parking too close to other cars, which can cause scratches and dents. Unfortunately, they can hold your company liable since the parking area isn’t well maintained. To prevent this problem, you can hire an asphalt contractor in Mount Vernon, WA to properly restripe the parking area.
Maintain Property Value
Faded striping can make your parking area and therefore your business look neglected. The curb appeal of any property is important for prospective buyers to see and if the parking area doesn’t look to be in good shape, people will assume that the building isn’t either. Fortunately, by having an asphalt contractor restripe the parking area, it can attract prospective buyers who may make inquiries about your property.
Comply with Laws
Local fire departments and the Americans with Disabilities Act require business owners to stripe their parking lots to allow for fire lanes and to provide handicap parking. By having a Mount Vernon asphalt contractor appropriately restripe your parking area, you will be complying with all laws concerning parking lots. This can prevent your business from being fined for non-compliance with these laws.
Along with striping the parking area, an asphalt contractor can make repairs to the parking area and resurface it if necessary. Having a decent parking lot in front of your business prevents accidents and damage to vehicles and it complies with local and federal ordinances about parking access for both the disabled and emergency vehicles that may answer calls at your business.
