Choosing A Parking Lot Contractor

The US parking lot and garage industry were estimated to be a $9.1 billion business in 2021, and that means that there are a lot of possible providers out there, so here are a few considerations and tips for picking the right parking lot contractor, whether you need a quick pothole repair, parking lot striping or repainting, or all new asphalt.

Reputation

While many companies post positive testimonials from their customers on their websites, you'll have to dig a little deeper to hear unfiltered reviews. Websites like Angi can help, but you could also keep an eye out for new parking lots in your area and ask the owners about their experience with their contractors, and with enough of that kind of research, you'll soon see a pattern in the Low Country that leads straight to Benford Site Services LLC.

Pricing

One of the first considerations of any smart businessperson is going to be the cost. Usually, by comparing quotes from various vendors, you can get an idea of how pricing stacks up across your options. Make sure to consider all levels of service the company provides as some of the most expensive options may provide more in terms of customer support and organized business operations. How much of that you are willing to pay will depend on your company's needs and resources.

Local Knowledge And Experience

With a service like a pothole or an asphalt repair, it's a good idea to partner with a local contractor or vendor, if only for quicker response times. But, you should also consider sourcing locally because not only will local contractors have a greater understanding of how local conditions, such as weather, might impact maintenance, but they will also have a vested interest in creating a good relationship with their local customers and business neighbors.

Scheduling And Organizing

To make the least negative impact on your business and your customer flow, you will likely want to have some input on when your parking lot repairs and maintenance are performed. Look for vendors that have transparent scheduling practices. They should be able to tell you how they handle and schedule maintenance requests at all hours to avoid impacts on your customers.
