Portland construction specifications are dictated by two local realities most national vendors ignore. First, climate: Wet Pacific winters with long saturation windows — paving season effectively April to October. Second, subgrade: Willamette Valley silt-loam with seasonal high groundwater — drainage is the lot-life driver. Full-depth construction requires 55°F+ ambient for asphalt mat placement. Typical performance in Portland: 20-25 years with proper subbase and sealcoat maintenance. Wins Parking writes these conditions into the scope before a single crew mobilizes, which is why Portland assets we touch outlast lots built to generic out-of-region specs.
