The Allentown paving market
Growing suburban market. Allentown has a GeoNames population of about 120,000 and sits in Lehigh County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Philadelphia, PA, 48 mi to the south of Allentown. It is the 3rd-largest of the 12 Pennsylvania cities in our directory.
Allentown'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. 7 other Pennsylvania 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.
