The Asphalt Kingdom Blog

Have you been struggling to acquire leads and get more customers for your asphalt maintenance business lately? You've sent out hundreds of proposals and used Facebook and Instagram to reach prospects, but the results have been modest. They aren't bad, but they could be better.

If you live in temperate climates and you're an asphalt maintenance business owner, it's normal for you to dread the arrival of fall. Fall means the number of people signing up for sealcoating and crack repair services are now fewer and farther between.

Frequent rains are normal during this time, and some parts of the country even get rogue snow, making the ground too wet or too cold for proper asphalt maintenance.

Congratulations on your new sealcoating business! Now that you have obtained licenses, permits, and financing, the only thing left to do is open a business bank account and you're good to go.

Homeowners' associations, or HOAs, are a relatively new invention. The first homeowners' associations sprouted around the 1950s. But it wasn't until the 1960s and the '70s that the number of HOAs around the country skyrocketed.

The freeze / thaw, freeze / thaw cycle that happens every winter can force ice into cracks, expanding the breaks in the asphalt until they become potholes.  And potholes aren’t just an eyesore – they’re a liability.  If someone’s car is damaged, or if a pedestrian trips and injures themselves, property managers can be in for serious payouts.
