The contractor list above shows paving pros who serve Spokane Valley on Main Street.

What asphalt work costs in Spokane Valley

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

Spokane Valley 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.

Approach permit. The City's Approach Permits page says a driveway approach permit is required where a driveway connects to a public street, unless the work is part of a commercial development or land division. Approaches on private streets do not need a permit, and a traffic control plan is required on arterials.

Approach standards. Residential approaches are typically at least 5 feet from a side property line and 15 feet from the intersection curb, with a throat 16 to 30 feet wide, and all approaches together may not exceed 50 percent of the frontage. Development Engineering is at (509) 720-5240.

Spokane Valley weather and the best time to pave

Spokane Valley does not have its own NOAA normals station, so we use nearby Spokane Felts Field. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show about 17.4 inches of rain a year. December is the wettest month at about 2.18 inches, and August is the driest at about 0.54 inches.

July highs average about 87 degrees, and the station averages about 29 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. Winters bring about 123 nights a year at freezing or colder, and January highs average about 38 degrees.

Our tip for Spokane Valley homeowners: late spring through early fall is the best window for paving and sealcoating. Fresh asphalt and sealcoat need warm, dry days, so plan around the long freeze season.
