The Erie paving market
Lake-effect snow; very short season. Erie has a GeoNames population of about 99,500 and sits in Erie County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Detroit, MI, 152 mi to the west of Erie. It is the 4th-largest of the 12 Pennsylvania cities in our directory.
Erie'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.
