Infrared patching requires ambient temperatures and dry pavement conditions to be effective, which means early spring repairs are weather-dependent. In Wisconsin, the practical window for infrared patching typically opens in April as temperatures stabilize and pavement dries following snowmelt.
A typical infrared patch repair on a standard pothole or edge failure can be completed in under an hour per location. Larger or more complex damage areas take longer but are still significantly faster than saw-cut alternatives. Repaired areas are generally ready for traffic within a short period after compaction, with minimal disruption to property operations.
If your lot also needs sealcoating, pavement repairs should always be completed and fully cured before sealcoating is applied. Our sealcoating and restriping post covers the correct maintenance sequence in detail.
Spring scheduling for pavement repair in Wisconsin fills up quickly once conditions allow. Getting on a contractor’s schedule early gives you more flexibility on timing and ensures repairs are completed before deterioration worsens through another season of traffic load.
