Picking a Good Asphalt Contracting Company:
Times are tough and moneys tight however, asphalt maintenance and parking lot maintenance still needs to happen. Its times like this that property owners and managers should take some time to pull out their expense files and look to see if they are getting the appropriate return on their parking lot maintenance investments. If your spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars annually and still having large asphalt and concrete problems than you may be a victim of slick asphalt contractors. Some contractors are sneaky in that they find ways to do less a less each year on your properties for the same or sometimes more money. Empire Parking Lot Services takes great care to give their customers exactly what they paid for. That’s crazy right! I know it’s a simple concept but it’s true. We are not always the least expensive asphalt contractor nor are we always the most expensive. We are the middle of the road contractor that gives people what they paid for.
Getting what you paid your Asphalt Contractor For:
Asphalt contractors are a unique breed in that they have ways of confusing customers with terminology and jargon. Empire Parking Lot Services always speaks in plain English and simple numbers. We believe the only things our customers should have to see are three simple things.
- What type of repair they are looking to have done.
- How many Inches of asphalt they need.
- Square footage of asphalt
Try to make sure that all paving contractors are bidding these same factors. At Empire we like to be the company that helps you put the scope of work together so that when you put the information out to bid you can get three prices that are truly apples to apples. Here is a familiar situation that we run into. Customer calls up and says “Hey, I need a bid on work on this, this, and this.” We go out, look at the job and make recommendations and then go back to the office and put out the bid. Later that week our salesman follows up with a call and says “how do we look? The customer says “oh man, you guys are really high. After asking a few quick questions we find out that we are bidding (2”) of asphalt and the other guy is bidding (1”). Ah ha! There is always a reason why. Once the other contractor is on the same asphalt quantities as us we are usually right in the ballpark!
Value is the New Coupon:
These days everyone is giving 10% discounts here or ½ off asphalt. Half off? Lol, how do they do that? We know their overhead isn’t way over or under ours, we know that they are paying their labor about the same as us; we know that they have the same trucks and tools etc. So how does a contractor offer these amazing discounts? It’s simple they are taking quality out of the job at your cost! Now the other day I was ordering envelopes on line and got a coupon for 30% off. I had shopped the envelopes and all the companies where about the same. The only real difference is that one company had a 30% deal. Well I figured it out! Shipping is where they tried to get me. They wanted an insane amount of money to ship their envelopes that in return put them way over the others, even with the coupon. I know sometimes it’s impossible to see where they are going to zap you so instead of taking a chance just do the sensible thing! Call Empire Parking Lot Services. 877-760-2757
