In the heart of Spokane’s bustling retail corridor, curb appeal isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s essential. That’s why Fred’s Appliance called our team at American Asphalt Sealing Inc. in for a full asphalt refresh at their busy showroom and warehouse location.
With a high-traffic parking lot that serves both local residents and delivery trucks, they needed more than a quick fix. They needed a long-term upgrade that would enhance safety, functionality, and first impressions.
We delivered a complete sealcoating and parking lot striping project that brought new life to their aging asphalt, all while keeping their operations running smoothly.
Bringing Functionality and Curb Appeal Together
Fred’s Appliance is a local landmark for Spokane homeowners looking for high-quality appliances and service. Their storefront is positioned along a highly visible stretch near residential neighborhoods, with multiple access points and steady daily traffic.
But the parking lot was showing its age.
The asphalt had faded, the striping was hard to see, and accessible parking didn’t meet current ADA standards. The property needed more than a visual refresh—it required a full-scale parking lot redesign that prioritized safety and customer experience.
Our team assessed the site and created a plan to:
- Sealcoat the entire asphalt surface for a fresh, uniform appearance
- Re-stripe the lot with a more intuitive traffic layout
- Install clearly marked ADA-compliant stalls with access aisles and signage
- Define pedestrian zones and main entry areas for better flow
Working Around the Clock—Without Disrupting Business
One of the biggest challenges with commercial asphalt work in active retail environments is minimizing disruption. Fred’s Appliance couldn’t afford to lose business during peak hours, so we carefully phased the project to work around their schedule.
We performed the work in off-hours and coordinated each phase to keep sections of the lot open at all times. Our team maintained clear communication with store managers to ensure smooth transitions between work areas and maintain safe customer access.
From Faded and Confusing to Clean and Customer-Friendly
The results speak for themselves.
The fresh sealcoat gave the parking lot a deep black finish, instantly boosting the property’s appearance and aligning with the store’s clean, modern branding.
The new striping layout improved traffic flow and made it easier for drivers to navigate the lot safely. ADA stalls now include clear markings, proper signage, and access aisles that comply with regulations and provide convenience for all customers.
By clearly marking pedestrian walkways and entrance zones, we also created a safer and more welcoming path from car to door.
