Mid-Year Maintenance: The Summer Check-Up Your Garage Didn’t Know It Needed

Summer isn't just a time for vacations; it's the perfect moment to take a hard look at your parking structure. By July, your garage has already endured half a year of use, weather, and wear and tear. With fall budgets on the horizon, now is the time to plan and avoid costly surprises.

From faded striping to surface damage, mid-year is the sweet spot for a professional evaluation.

What to Look For During a

Mid-Year Walkthrough

• Faded or Uneven Striping: Summer heat and UV exposure can cause the breakdown of pavement paint. Faded lines reduce visibility, which impacts safety and traffic flow.

• Worn Wayfinding or EV Bay Markings: Are your directional arrows, ADA signage, or EV identifiers crisp and compliant? If not, they could confuse drivers—or worse, invite liability.

• Cracking or Peeling Coatings: Garage surfaces take a beating. Look for bubbling, peeling, or cracking in coatings, especially in high-traffic and exposed rooftop areas.

• Water Damage or Drainage Issues: Spring rain can leave behind more than puddles. Look for signs of water pooling, rust streaks, or damaged joints—early indicators of bigger structural issues.

• Concrete Surface Wear: Dents, spalling, or uneven patches may indicate that your garage needs resurfacing or patching before winter freeze/thaw cycles make it worse.

  
  

Why July?

• You're past the spring rush, and before fall budgeting.

• Most garages are in heavy summer use: now is when wear is visible.

• You still have time to plan, quote, and complete work before peak leaf, snow, or holiday season foot traffic.
