As the days get shorter and the temperatures dip, it seems that winter is undeniably around the corner, and you’re probably thinking about getting yourself and your home ready for the season. This may mean things like breaking out the sweaters and installing storm windows, but the fall is also a good time to think about the state of your driveway. While many may think that it’s too late in the year to have work done, in fact, as the paving contractors at Cranston, RI-based commercial and residential construction company, Beausoleil & Sons emphasize, some things can be done to keep your driveway safe throughout the winter.

Why consider a fall driveway paving service and what can be done? What do you need to know about it? Let’s take a look:

• Maintenance Work: There’s no doubt that, between inclement weather and freezing temperatures, driveways take on a great deal of damage during the winter. This means that smaller issues will likely get significantly worse during this time. Luckily, preventative measures like seal coating and crack filling can be done during the fall, so you’ll be in better shape in spring.
• Speedy Installation: While an experienced paving contractor will tell you that his or her busiest time of year is the spring or summer, larger scale paving work can still be done in the fall. That said, since temperatures are so important to the process (asphalt needs to be at a considerably hot temperature to be pliable) the job needs to be completed faster than usual. Done properly, and if contractors employ the right tools, however, your driveway will be in great shape.

If your driveway needs some work, it’s not too late in the year to have it done. What’s more, the folks at Beausoleil & Sons have the necessary experience and the right tools to get this job done.
