Gresham Asphalt Paving Guide: Costs, Permits, and Timing

Gresham has mild summers, cool winters with occasional freezes, and rain that falls mostly from November through March, and the City issues a sidewalk and approach permit for driveway work in the public right-of-way. This guide covers published local price ranges, Gresham's right-of-way permit fees, and how to time paving around the local weather. The contractor list above shows paving pros who serve Gresham on Main Street.

What asphalt work costs in Gresham

We only list numbers from published sources that give a Gresham figure. All figures in this table come from HomeBlue's Gresham cost guides, published in 2022, so expect current quotes to differ. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote.

Gresham bids often change with base preparation, the condition of an older driveway, and whether the driveway approach at the street is part of the job. HomeBlue's sealing guide also notes that some contractors charge a $75 to $100 mobilization fee on small driveways. We did not find a sourced local figure for pothole patching alone, so ask for repair as its own line item.

City permits and the public right-of-way

Paving that stays entirely on your own lot does not touch the public right-of-way, but driveway, sidewalk, and curb work at the street does.

Sidewalk and approach permit. Gresham's Development Engineering fee summary lists a Sidewalk and Approach permit, for work in the public right-of-way, at $118, and a general right-of-way permit at $306. The City notes that fees are subject to change.

How to apply. Permits go through the City's Permit Services. Ask which permit fits your driveway approach before work at the street.

Gresham weather and the best time to pave

Gresham does not have its own NOAA normals station, so we use nearby Portland Troutdale Airport. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show about 40.7 inches of rain a year. December is the wettest month at about 6.15 inches, and July is the driest at about 0.55 inches. About 25.1 inches falls from November through March.

July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 82 degrees. Winters bring about 28 nights a year at freezing or colder, and January highs average about 47 degrees.

Our tip for Gresham homeowners: summer is the best window for paving and sealcoating, since most rain falls from November through March. Sealcoat needs dry days to cure, so watch the forecast in spring and fall.
