🚧 Repaving and Sealcoating: Timing is Everything in Upstate NY 🚧 In Upstate New York, planning your repaving, sealcoating, and striping projects effectively is crucial to ensure your parking lots and drive lanes remain in top condition. At Highbridge Management, we know that timing is essential for these projects. Why Timing Matters: -Optimal Season for Paving: The best time to schedule asphalt work is in late spring, before the end of the school year. During this period, paving companies often have more availability, and the warmer weather allows the asphalt to cure properly over the summer season, before winter. -Curing Time: Asphalt takes about 6-12 months to fully cure and settle, although it is safe for light use within 24-48 hours and normal traffic within 3-7 days. Completing paving projects in late spring provides ample time for the asphalt to harden before facing the freeze-thaw cycles and salt of winter. -Asphalt Plant Closures: In Upstate NY, asphalt plants typically close by mid-November, depending on the weather. If you need asphalt maintenance now, it will likely have to happen after school starts but before the plants close. Our Recommendation: To avoid the rush and ensure your project gets the attention it deserves, start coordinating with your pavers now. Planning your repaving and sealcoating for late spring ensures better availability of contractors and optimal curing time for the asphalt. If you need to schedule work later in the season, make sure to do so before mid-November to avoid plant closures and ensure your property is ready for winter. Planning ahead helps maintain the safety, appearance, and value of your parking lots, reducing long-term maintenance costs and keeping your tenants happy. #HighbridgeManagement #PropertyManagement #Paving #Sealcoating #ParkingLotMaintenance #UpstateNY #PropertyValue

Do you ever pause to consider the risks when you grab a shovel and start digging? Beneath our feet lie kilometers of buried utilities. They lurk beneath our front and backyards, beneath sidewalks, city streets, public parks, and farmland. These lines and cables can rest deep underground or dangerously close to the surface. Whether you're digging a new garden, putting up a fence, or working on a large construction site, hitting a buried utility line is a real danger if you don't first visit ClickBeforeYouDig.com. April is National Dig Safe Month, marking the start of the spring digging season. This month serves as a reminder for all of us—homeowners and contractors alike—to call or click before we dig, no matter the time of year. What are the risks? First and foremost, there's the risk of serious injury, or even death. Hitting a gas line could lead to a dangerous leak where a single spark can cause a catastrophic explosion. Hitting an electrical line could result in electrocution, causing lost limbs, brain damage, severe burns, or worse. Then there's the potential for property damage—not just to your own home but also to your neighbors' properties or the city's infrastructure. Striking a water line could flood your home or a city street, while damaging a sewer line could lead to contamination. And let's not forget the financial burden. Ultimately, who foots the bill for repairs? That's right, it's you. Some homeowners may even find themselves facing legal action. Before you dig, always remember to visit ClickBeforeYouDig.com. Getting information about buried utility lines is a free service, so there's no excuse not to call or click. Plan your landscaping projects in advance and request a locate at least one week beforehand. Know What's Below and Dig Safely!

We have an ongoing problem at our apartment complex. We have garbage cans that are constantly in overflow -- and it's not all from people who live here, we get outsiders who come here to dump their trash. That feels like a metaphor for how people often treat eachother. That aside, there are solutions to this problem, but there's little care by the property owners to do anything besides find ways to save a buck. (that also feels like a similar metaphor unfortunately) 2 solutions that I've seen and can think of off the top of my head are . . . - Fencing off an area for trash and add a gate. Maybe even add the need for a key or code to get in. - Hire one of those trash contractors who comes to pick up at people's door everyday. It's out of control at this point. They switched to these 3 cans with a different garbage company and kept 2 with the more expensive company. Both suck. What ideas does your property management have? How are you handling trash? Inquiring minds.
