The Dayton paving market
Aerospace hub; commercial and residential. Dayton has a GeoNames population of about 141,000 and sits in Montgomery County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Columbus, OH, 65 mi to the east of Dayton. It is the 6th-largest of the 12 Ohio cities in our directory.
Dayton'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.
