The Bloomington paving market
Twin Cities suburb; commercial and residential. Bloomington has a GeoNames population of about 86,400 and sits in Hennepin County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Milwaukee, WI, 296 mi to the southeast of Bloomington. It is the 4th-largest of the 8 Minnesota cities in our directory.
Bloomington'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 Minnesota 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.
