The Cincinnati paving market
Longer shoulder seasons than northern Ohio. Cincinnati has a GeoNames population of about 297,000 and sits in Hamilton County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Indianapolis, IN, 98 mi to the northwest of Cincinnati. It is the 3rd-largest of the 12 Ohio cities in our directory.
Cincinnati'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. 3 other Ohio 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.
