The typical asphalt paving process takes 1-9 weeks, depending on the scope of your project. Learn why it is so in this article.
Our marketing team has had their ears filled with questions about the duration of asphalt paving from Reno homeowners and commercial property owners. Why does it take up to 9 weeks?
Can the timeframe be shorter?
To answer these questions comprehensively, we decided to write this blog post.
Imagine installing asphalt pavement in Reno around January, February, and December. Automatically, the process will take longer. This is why:
January, February, and December are Reno’s top precipitation months. In January, the average snowfall is 6 inches thick — US Climate Data.
In essence, the precipitation will affect the installation and the drying phase. As a result, the duration of your project will be longer.
The Size and Nature of Your ProjectIdeally, asphalt paving for a small residential driveway won’t take as long as a commercial parking lot. In fact, it can be ready in a couple of days or within a week.
Paving commercial parking lots, on the other hand, is a different story. Here is why:
Ultimately, the project will take 4-9 weeks in favorable weather.
Similarly to sizing, the nature of your asphalt project is also a factor to consider. Installation, repair, and reinforcements (sealcoating) have different timelines.
Sealcoating, for example, is done bi-annually, and the process takes longer than typical asphalt paving.
The most crucial factor of the 3 is the experience of your paving company. It doesn’t only affect the duration of your project but the effectiveness and longevity.
As a result, you can’t do DIY installation or hire just anyone.
Hire an asphalt paving company instead. This way, you can leverage the company’s resources (human, knowledge, and tools) for faster and durable asphalt paving. While at it, don’t forget to consider local experience.
