Rapid price increases have caused many property owners to reconsider the replacement and maintenance of their asphalt pavement. Being in the paving industry for 60+ years has its benefits; one of them is receiving industry updates so we can continue to offer 5-star quality work at a competitive price.
A&A Paving has proudly served in Chicagoland for over six decades, so we are leading experts with all things asphalt paving.
Many of our asphalt plants have shared with us that a large price increase will likely occur by mid-June. Ignoring the maintenance of your asphalt pavement isn’t an option—this will simply cost you much more in the long run.
We are here to help. Read our expert advice to get ahead of the curve and avoid the upcoming price increase, or you can watch our video here on why the price of asphalt is increasing in Chicagoland.
Why You Can Expect to See a Price Increase
Several factors have contributed to this summer’s inevitable price increase:
- Due to COVID-19, the plants have not seen a price increase for over 2 years. Other industries, such as real estate, will also experience a significant price jump this summer.
- The materials that comprise asphalt have all risen, which makes the product itself more expensive to produce. As paving contractors, the biggest cost of each job is the material. The higher the cost of the material, the higher the cost of the job.
- The cost of labor at asphalt plants has also gone up.
- As you’ve seen firsthand, fuel prices have increased all across the country. What does this mean to the paving industry? Manufacturers refine asphalt from oil. As the price of oil increases, the cost of the raw materials will also rise. Furthermore, we expect a significant reduction in the manufacturing of fossil fuels. This means—you guessed it—we will be left with a restricted supply of asphalt and you with inflated prices.
- Suppliers have predicted a potential for asphalt shortage during the summer months—the busiest time of the year for paving contractors.
