Default Paving Driveway: Minimum Outside Temp's. ?

Hello,

Live outside of Boston,

For a typical home complete driveway re-do, can the hot asphalt be put
down in the Fall season O.K. ?

Or, should it be done only in the hot summer months.

Paving Contractor says they do it thru late Nov. !

Any minimum outside temp's involved for a "good" job" to be done ?

Thoughts on ?


I would think it might go down fine-- but I'd be concerned about how
cured' it might be when the first snow flies & you need to scrape it
off with a truck.

Not as big a concern with a snowblower- but I'd ask him about it. What
about salt in case you get a 1" ice storm for thanksgiving?

How good is his guarantee?
