Running a commercial property means juggling a long list of responsibilities, from keeping parking lots clean to preventing costly repairs. In busy areas like Hawthorne, NY, these details matter more than ever. Customers notice the condition of your property the moment they pull in—and if it looks neglected, it can cost you business while raising liability risks.

Your parking lot is the first impression customers and clients receive of your business. According to studies by the International Facility Management Association (IFMA), 70% of first-time visitors judge a business by the condition of its exterior, and that includes the parking lot. A well-maintained lot isn’t just about appearances—it communicates care, professionalism, and attention to detail.

First impressions matter—and that starts in your parking lot. Whether you’re running a retail center, an office complex, or any commercial property, a clean, well-maintained parking area speaks volumes about your business. But lurking beneath the surface of day-to-day traffic are threats that go far beyond aesthetics: gasoline, grease, and transmission fluid.
