Do you own a business with a parking lot? Or do you need to repave your existing parking lot and are debating on which materials to use? If so, you should consider commercial concrete. Keep reading to learn a few reasons why you should invest in a concrete parking lot.

1. Maintenance

As a property owner, the last thing you need is to perform constant maintenance. When you build a parking lot made from commercial concrete, you'll find it's much less costly to maintain than asphalt paving. Unlike concrete, asphalt requires regular seal coating and is more prone to forming cracks.

2. Durability

Few things are as strong and durable as solid concrete. Because concrete is so strong, it can last decades with minimal maintenance. A concrete driveway can last between 25 and 50 years, according to House Grail. If you want to improve the value of your property, having a solid parking lot is a good way to do so.

3. Aesthetics

The aesthetics of your commercial parking lot matter. With a concrete surface, you have a chance to make your parking lot look as aesthetically pleasing as possible to draw in new customers. Did you know that you could add color to concrete? You can also stamp unique designs on the surface that either complement a building's design or a business logo. In other words, you can use your concrete parking lot to promote your business before people even step inside! They'll see your name and colors the minute they drive up in their car.

4. Reflectivity

If your business is in an area with hot weather, it certainly matters when it comes to comfort on hot and sunny days. Concrete can reflect more energy than its asphalt counterpart. As a result, when people are in your commercial parking lot, they are less likely to feel intense heat during the hot summer months.

Now that you understand the benefits of commercial concrete, you have every reason to either use it for your new property or to repave your current parking lot. Concrete is durable, can last years, and saves you on energy bills. If you're ready to get started, call Portland Construction Company today to schedule a free estimate!
