May Is the Perfect Month to Refresh Your Pavement — Here's Why

As spring blooms and temperatures rise, May marks a crucial time for property owners across Maine to assess the condition of their pavement. After enduring months of freeze-thaw cycles, snowplows, and road salt, your asphalt may be showing signs of wear — and Coastal Paving is here to help.

Why May?

May offers the perfect weather window for asphalt repair, sealcoating, and new installations. With consistently warmer temperatures and low humidity, asphalt binds more effectively, allowing for a longer-lasting finish. It's also early enough to avoid the rush of summer construction projects, ensuring quicker scheduling and turnaround.

What to Look For

Walk your driveway or parking lot and look for:

• Cracks or potholes: These are signs of moisture damage from winter.

• Fading color: UV exposure and salt can wear down your sealcoat.

• Uneven surfaces or drainage issues: These could signal underlying problems.

If you notice any of these, it's time to schedule a consultation.

Services We Recommend in May

• Sealcoating: Protect your asphalt before summer heat sets in.

• Crack Filling & Patching: Stop small issues from becoming expensive repairs.

• New Installations: Planning a new driveway or lot? Beat the busy season.
