The New Bedford paving market
Coastal city; residential and commercial. New Bedford has a GeoNames population of about 95,000 and sits in Bristol County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Boston, MA, 50 mi to the north of New Bedford. It is the 7th-largest of the 10 Massachusetts cities in our directory.
New Bedford's paving season typically runs May–October (about 6 months). Campaigns should be live by March, 6 to 8 weeks before the May start, and Nov–Apr is for retargeting, early-bird sealcoating inquiries and lower-budget awareness. 6 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.
