AMS Paving is proud to announce that our presentation 'Asphalt Maintenance, Realistic Expectations' is approved by Community Association Managers International Certification Board (CAMICB) to fulfill continuing education requirements for the Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA®) certification.

The objective of this educational program is to give Community Association Managers and Board Members a better understanding of the common issues faced when performing asphalt maintenance, repair, and replacement projects.

Not all asphalt projects are the same and the typical “Asphalt 101” education programs do not provide information about the common issues and complaints raised during these projects. In this presentation, we discuss the problems that commonly arise and why. So when the phone rings, you will be more prepared to respond accordingly and hopefully save time and unnecessary stress when undertaking asphalt maintenance projects.

The topics covered in this presentation include:

1. Project Phasing

2. Seal Coat Application

   • When & how often

3. Resident Notification and Towing

4. Installation Issues

   • Streaking

   • Over-sealing

5. Post-Installation Issues
