If you’re thinking about improving your driveway, summer is one of the best times to take action. At Whittaker’s Paving Pros, we’ve been serving homeowners in Roanoke, Salem, Daleville, Moneta, and Smith Mountain Lake since 1988—and year after year, we see more customers taking advantage of the summer months to schedule their asphalt projects.
Here’s why summer is the ideal season for repaving your driveway in Southwest Virginia:
1. Warm Weather Helps Asphalt Cure Properly
Asphalt needs warm temperatures to cure and bond effectively. Summer’s consistent heat in the Roanoke Valley region ensures your new surface cures evenly, resulting in a smoother, longer-lasting driveway. Compared to unpredictable spring weather or the cool days of fall, June through August provides optimal conditions for high-quality results.
2. Fewer Weather Delays
While spring can bring rain and fall often has early frosts, summer typically offers clear, dry days that help keep projects on schedule. That means less waiting and faster completion times—something every homeowner can appreciate.
3. Enjoy the Results All Season Long
Repaving your driveway in June means it will be ready for everything summer brings: backyard barbecues, outdoor projects, and family get-togethers. A smooth, clean driveway adds instant curb appeal and creates a safer, more functional space for you and your guests.
4. Contractors Are Fully Staffed and Operating at Full Capacity
At Whittaker’s Paving Pros, we ramp up our residential services in the summer to meet demand. Our crews are fully staffed and ready to deliver efficient, high-quality work throughout Southwest Virginia. Scheduling your project early in the summer ensures you get a spot before our calendar fills up.
5. It’s the Right Time to Address Winter and Spring Damage
Snow, ice, and spring rains can leave behind cracks, potholes, and drainage issues. Summer is the perfect window to repair and repave before the next winter hits. Ignoring those issues can lead to worse damage—and bigger expenses—down the road.
