Commercial Parking Lot Maintenance Schedule (Property Manager Guide)
A year-round maintenance plan for plazas, condos, and multi-unit properties in Ontario — built around minimal tenant disruption.
Why a schedule matters
Reactive maintenance is 3–5× more expensive than scheduled maintenance. A predictable seasonal plan stretches the life of your asphalt 10–15 years longer.
The annual plan
### Spring (April–May)
- Walkthrough inspection with your contractor
- Crack repair (hot rubber)
- Pothole patching
- Catch-basin clean-out
### Early summer (June)
- Sealcoating (every 2–3 years)
- Line painting refresh (yearly for high-traffic lots)
- Accessibility marking compliance check
### Late summer (August)
- Mid-season inspection
- Spot crack repair as needed
### Fall (September–October)
- Final walkthrough
- Final crack fill before freeze
- Drainage check
### Winter (November–March)
- Document plow damage
- Plan spring scope
What to budget
- Crack repair: $0.50–$1.50/linear foot
- Sealcoating: $0.18–$0.32/sq ft (commercial volume)
- Line painting: $4–$8/stall depending on layout
- Pothole patching: $200–$500 per repair
