Avello Asphalt & Construction Enables Accessibility Through Local Paving Service

New York spends billions of dollars every year repairing seasonal road damage, and as weather patterns continue to grow more erratic with the changing climate, that number is likely to increase even further. As Avello Asphalt & Construction in Poughkeepsie explains, this burden is most felt by local businesses, who are responsible for maintaining their parking lots and sidewalks using their own resources.

Drastic temperature swings are at the heart of this growing crisis; moisture seeping into cracks in poorly maintained asphalt expands upon freezing, causing further damage to the asphalt and in turn letting additional moisture in. This seasonal damage can lead to serious liability for businesses, can cause potholes to open in roadway surfaces, and overall leave parking lots in a state of disrepair.

What Can Be Done?

This season, contractors across the state of New York are mobilizing to prevent the damage from worsening. In 2024, the New York Department of Transportation reported that they alone were responsible for filling over one million potholes caused by seasonal damage, a number which doesn’t even account for potholes filled on commercial properties.

That same report showcased the work of contractors across the state, who were responsible for repairing and improving over 1,500 lane miles of highway last year.

Avello, for instance, is doing their part to combat this crisis by providing high-durability asphalt repair and replacement services for municipal and private-sector clients. They encourage businesses and municipal clients to schedule regular maintenance and repairs, given that small cracks in asphalt pavement can let in moisture, which can then completely destroy pavement in a single season.

Additional Reasons For Maintenance

As Avello explains, their work also helps businesses and municipal clients stay compliant with ADA requirements. The guidelines dictate that all asphalt be “stable, slip-resistant, and level”, qualities that seasonal warping could jeopardize, leading to liability on the part of the business. The company also offers end-to-end repair and finishing services, including sealcoating and striping. These final touches improve not only the life of the pavement, but also the curb appeal and professional image of a given business, offering an additional incentive for businesses who may be on the fence about scheduling seasonal maintenance.
