The Boston paving market
High-value commercial and residential market. Boston has a GeoNames population of about 667,000 and sits in Suffolk County. Boston is itself one of the country's large metros, with a GeoNames population of about 667,000. It is the largest of the 10 Massachusetts cities in our directory.
Boston's paving season typically runs April–November (about 8 months). Campaigns should be live by February, 6 to 8 weeks before the April start, and Dec–Mar is for retargeting, early-bird sealcoating inquiries and lower-budget awareness. 2 other Massachusetts cities share this season.
Cold-winter climate: Freeze-thaw cycles create a post-winter rush of pothole, crack and surface-failure repair calls, and sealcoating can only start once overnight lows stay above 50 degrees.
