Calgary & Area · Commercial Pavement Asset Management
Your parking lot is a multi-million-dollar asset. Protect it for a fraction of its value.
We help Calgary property managers, boards and facility owners protect pavement before it fails — preventative sealcoating, hot-pour crack sealing, line painting and documented condition reporting that defers replacement instead of chasing it.
Graded condition report, photo map and fixed quote — free, and yours to keep even if you hire someone else.
Sealing season runs mid-May to late September in Alberta — commercial crews book out by early summer.
Reserve a dateCommercial Pavement Asset Assessment
APC's pavement assessment process helps property managers and owners identify deterioration, prioritize maintenance and plan future work before small issues become larger capital problems.
Most commercial properties don't need everything done at once. They need someone to look at the site properly and explain what is actually happening on it.
We walk the property with you or on our own and review every drivable and walkable surface.
Surface, cracking, drainage and localized failures reviewed area by area rather than lot-wide.
Distress areas photographed so the condition is documented, not described.
A plain list of what we found, where it is, and what it is likely to do next.
Each item marked as needs attention now, plan for next, or monitor.
The preventative work that is appropriate for the surfaces that still qualify for it.
Areas that will eventually need repair or replacement, flagged early for budgeting.
A practical scope you can approve, tender, or hold until next season.
A short written summary suitable for an owner, board or management report.
Assessment content is tailored to the property. Some elements may not apply to every site.
Who we work with
Costs presented so they can be approved, deferred or staged across seasons.
A clear separation between what needs attention now and what can reasonably wait.
Surface conditions that create risk for tenants, residents and visitors are identified and documented.
Work planned around the way the property actually operates.
Dates confirmed in writing, and changes communicated the same day.
Decisions framed around where each area sits in its service life.
Written scope, photos and summaries you can forward to an owner or board.
Licensed, insured and covered before anyone arrives on your property.
Items flagged now so they appear in next year's plan instead of next year's emergency.
Commercial services
These aren't separate products. They are stages of one pavement-maintenance system, and the assessment is what decides which of them your property actually needs.
Understand the current condition and identify priorities.
The starting point for most commercial properties. We document what is happening across the site and separate urgent items from preventative ones.

A general guide to where each condition usually points. What is genuinely appropriate for a specific area is only confirmed once we've assessed the site.

See where this fits in the maintenance systemThat's the most common place to start. We'll look at it and tell you.
Maintenance planning
Different areas of a parking lot may require different treatments at different times. The job is to sort them properly.
Conditions that are actively getting worse, creating risk, or letting water into the layers below the surface.
Areas that are still holding but are heading toward repair. Better handled in a planned season than an unplanned one.
Items worth recording and watching, where spending money right now wouldn't change the outcome.
The problem
By the time a lot looks bad, the damage is structural. Oxidation strips the binder, hairline cracks open a path to the base, and every freeze-thaw cycle drives water deeper into the material holding your surface up. Nothing visible changes for three seasons — then everything does at once.
That is why we treat commercial pavement as an asset on a maintenance cycle rather than a repair you schedule when someone complains.
The consequence of waiting
Freeze
Water enters a hairline crack, freezes overnight and expands, levering the crack wider. Calgary's climate repeats that cycle through the whole cold season.
Base
Surface wear is cosmetic. Once water reaches the base, the repair stops being maintenance and becomes reconstruction.
Budget
A preventative program is a predictable recurring line item. Replacement arrives as a single capital event with no way to phase it across budgets.
The solution
The same lot, twelve months apart. Nothing was rebuilt. Cracks were routed and hot-pour sealed, the surface was swept, primed and given two measured coats, then re-striped to an updated layout that, on this property, recovered four additional parking stalls.

At scale
On multi-acre sites we work from an elevated survey of the whole surface, break the property into work cells, and sequence them around your operating hours. You get a plan showing exactly which zone is closed on which night, weeks before we mobilize.
No cost, no obligation
We will walk the property, grade it and tell you plainly if the answer is 'not yet'. That answer costs you nothing and happens more often than you would expect.
Proof of work
Real Calgary-area properties. As further commercial projects are documented, they'll be added here with the condition found, the scope recommended and the work completed.
Condominium Corporation
Phased · residents parked throughout
Driveway and entrance sections sealed in stages behind cones so residents kept access. Hot-pour crack seal, two-coat sealer, full re-stripe with accessible stalls re-marked.
See our condominium corporation program →
Retail / Recreation
Full lot seal + complete restripe
High-traffic customer lot resealed end to end and re-striped in fresh yellow — stall lines, drive aisles and range access laid out for peak-season volume.
See our retail / recreation program →
Municipal
Hot-pour rubberized · same-day return
Routed and hot-pour sealed working cracks under traffic control before water could reach the base. Crews clear the surface and reopen the lane the same day.
See our municipal program →Industries served
Every property type carries a different risk. The scope, the products and the schedule change accordingly — the documentation never does.
How the program runs
We walk the property with you, measure the surface area, photograph every distress area and grade the pavement condition. You get the assessment whether or not you hire us.
You receive
PCI-style condition report + photo map
A line-itemed scope written for boards and budgets: square metres, product specs, litre coverage rates and a fixed price. No allowances, no surprise change orders.
You receive
Board-ready PDF quote + spec sheet
We produce tenant notices, door hangers and a phased lot map so stalls stay usable. Most commercial lots are staged in halves or quadrants — nobody loses access.
You receive
Phasing plan + printable notices
Power sweep, edge cut, vegetation removal, oil-spot priming, then hot-pour rubberized crack sealing routed to depth. Prep is where most contractors cut corners — it's where we spend our hours.

FAQ
Almost never fully. We phase commercial lots in halves or quadrants so tenants and customers always have access. A typical 150-stall lot is sealed and striped in two working days, with each phase closed for roughly 24 hours to cure.
Yes. We carry $5,000,000 commercial general liability, active WCB Alberta coverage in good standing, and a City of Calgary business licence. Certificates are attached to every quote and can be issued naming your ownership entity and property manager as additional insured.
Mid-May through late September. Sealer needs surface temperatures above 10°C and rising, with no rain for 24 hours. We book the season from February onward, and shoulder-season dates go first — get on the schedule early.
Yes, and for retail and grocery centres we usually recommend it. Night work carries a modest premium but eliminates customer disruption entirely.
Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed. We stand behind our work and are committed to customer satisfaction — tell us and we will come back and look at it with you. We also return at the 24-month mark for a free condition inspection whether or not you rebook.
We stripe accessible stalls, access aisles, signage placement and fire lanes to Alberta Building Code and municipal standards, and flag any existing non-compliance in the assessment report so your board can budget for it.
Ask and we'll write it. We regularly produce neutral scope documents property managers can tender to three bidders — including us. If someone beats our price on identical spec, take it.
Next step
We'll review the property and help you understand what requires attention now, what should be planned for a future season, and what can reasonably be monitored. If the answer is that nothing urgent is needed, that's what we'll tell you.
