Have questions? We’re here to help.
Below are some of the most common questions our clients ask about our services, maintenance plans, and national project management.
🔹 General Company Questions
Q: What areas of the country do you service?
A: We proudly service all 50 states through our national network of vetted subcontractors, ensuring consistent quality no matter the location.
​
Q: Are you licensed and insured?
A: Yes — National Parking Lot Experts and all our subcontractor partners are fully licensed, insured, and meet or exceed industry standards.
​
Q: How fast can you mobilize for a project?
A: Depending on the project size and location, we can typically mobilize crews within 5–10 business days after contract signing.
🔹 Services & Process Questions
Q: How do I get an estimate for parking lot repairs or maintenance?
A: Simply schedule a free Parking Lot Strategy Session through our website, and we’ll assess your property’s needs and deliver a custom proposal.
​
Q: Do you handle everything from inspection to project management?
A: Yes — we offer complete project management services, from initial consultation and inspection to subcontractor coordination, work oversight, and final walk-throughs.
​
Q: Can you work on active properties without disrupting operations?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in phased work plans, night work, and minimal disruption scheduling to keep your business running while we improve your lot.
🔹 Consulting & Strategy Sessions
Q: What happens during a Parking Lot Strategy Session?
A: In a 15–30 minute virtual meeting, we review your property conditions, discuss your goals, and recommend the best maintenance, repair, or planning strategies.
​
Q: Is the Strategy Session really free?
A: Yes — it’s 100% free with no obligation. We believe in providing real value before any contracts are signed.
​
Q: What do I need to provide for the consultation?
A: If possible, recent photos, property addresses, or site plans — but we can also guide you through it live if needed.
🔹 Maintenance Plans
Q: What’s included in your maintenance plans?
A: Depending on the plan level, services may include annual inspections, crack sealing, striping touch-ups, sealcoating, and full lot reporting. See our Maintenance Plans page for full details.
​
Q: Can I customize a maintenance plan?
A: Absolutely. We tailor plans to fit your property size, usage level, and budget needs.
​
Q: How are maintenance services scheduled?
A: We proactively schedule services based on your plan frequency (seasonal, semi-annual, or annual) and coordinate all work around your property’s operations.
🔹 Common Myths
Q: Is sealcoating just for looks?
A: No — while it improves appearance, sealcoating protects against serious pavement deterioration caused by weather, oils, and UV rays.
​
Q: Does sealcoating fix cracks and potholes?
A: No — sealcoating protects your asphalt surface from UV damage and water penetration, but it does not repair existing cracks, potholes, or base damage. Proper crack sealing or patching must be done before sealcoating for the best results.
​
Q: Do all contractors use the same materials and methods?
A: Definitely not. Material quality, equipment, and workmanship vary widely. Low-cost contractors often cut corners, use inferior materials, or skip critical steps — leading to faster failures and higher long-term costs. We use only premium-grade materials and proven industry best practices.
🔹 Subcontractor Questions
Q: How can I become a subcontractor for National Parking Lot Experts?
A: Visit our Subcontractor Application page to submit your company info, insurance certificates, W-9, and recent project photos for vetting.
​
Q: Do you require specific insurance or certifications?
A: Yes — all subcontractors must carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and agree to our service standards.
​
Q: What types of work do you subcontract?
A: We subcontract a wide range of parking lot maintenance and repair services, including asphalt patching, crack sealing, sealcoating, line striping, concrete repairs, drainage correction, full lot reconstruction, and ADA compliance upgrades. Contractors specializing in one or more of these services are encouraged to apply.
