As the temperatures begin to rise, summer is the perfect time to contact a trusted paving company for an estimate on pavement work on your property. The season offers ideal weather for the best results for repairs and upgrades, and it ensures your pavement is strong and ready for fall and winter. Here’s why you should schedule an estimate today.

Why Summer Is the Best Time for Pavement Service 

1. Perfect Weather

The best time to repair, replace, or seal pavement for driveways and parking lots is on a warm day in late spring or summer. Asphalt can be greatly affected by temperatures and moisture. If the weather is too chilly, it will harden quickly, giving your paving company less time to make sure it is laid out for the best result. Dry days that are at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal conditions for working with paving materials.

2. Better Work Times

When contractors have the right conditions to lay pavement, they can manipulate and spread it correctly for smooth, perfect finishing. Warm weather also means a more effective cure, which speeds up your pavement project and makes your new driveway or lot ready for use much sooner. Additionally, summer affords more working hours in the sunshine, which means a more efficient workday.

3. Cold Weather Prep

When you set up your paving project in summer, you are ensuring your property is ready for winter. A new, sealed, strong driveway or parking lot reduces the chances for problems during the cold months. Damaged asphalt will only get worse in winter, and trying to repair, replace, or seal it in cooler temperatures is not recommended. Also, any precipitation during the fall and winter will seep into cracks and holes that will eventually lead to a much bigger job to fix.
