Compliance & code considerations

• ADA Title III parking ratios
• NY State accessibility code
• Local site-plan and DOT permits
• ADA-compliant stall count, access aisles, running slope, and cross slope verified against the finished grade — not just repainted where the old lines were
• Fire-lane markings, hydrant clearance, and emergency-vehicle turning access maintained during every phase of the work
• Stormwater and erosion controls in place where the scope disturbs soil or alters how the site drains

Sample scope

A representative Churches scope from Avello: full-depth saw-cut repair of failed areas and trench edges, milling of distorted or rutted zones, correction of low spots that hold water, adjustment of structures to finished grade, tack coat, a hot-mix binder and top course sized to the actual traffic on site, and final layout with durable striping, ADA stalls, access aisles, directional arrows, fire-lane markings, and any wheel stops or bollards the site needs. Occupied properties add temporary parking allocation, posted notices, and access maintained to every unit, entrance, and refuse enclosure during the work.

Phasing strategy

Occupied properties get section-by-section phasing so nobody is ever without parking or access. Avello maps a Churches site into zones, publishes a dated schedule you can distribute, keeps accessible spaces and entrances live at all times, and provides temporary parking assignments where displacement is unavoidable. Weather delays shift the schedule rather than compressing quality.

Common objections (and how Avello handles them)

• Capital comes from offerings, not the budget
• Need to work between services and events
• Cheaper quote from member-referred contractor
• Sealcoating quote feels safer
