We recently lost our best girl, Sasha, after a short battle with lymphoma. Sasha was a regular at Xpress Sweeping. She came to work with us every day. She split her time between the garage, hanging out with the crews as they worked on the trucks; and the office, where she greeted all of our customers when they came in. When we added our younger dog Hazel to the family, Sasha taught her the ropes and transfered her calm nature to Hazel. We will miss you, Sasha!

Now that the winter is finally over, our crews have been hard at work at our commercial clients' properties around the state cleaning up the last of the sand and debris. We know how important it is to present a clean, welcoming property to your customers, employees and visitors and we work around the clock to make it happen without disrupting your day-to-day business operations. The first step to winter cleanup is eliminating the salt and sand left by plows throughout the winter. To do that, we use our sweeping and vacuuming trucks, along with a crew of dedicated and careful employees who use gas powered blowers to assist the larger machines. Next we come through and inspect the property for damage such as potholes, cracks in the surfaces, or missing/damaged barriers. We also assess the landscaping. The end result is a welcoming commercial property ready for a busy Spring and Summer season! Contact us today for your free quote at 401-825-6961.

We are preparing our sweeper and vacuum trucks for a busy cleanup season. After a long snowy winter, lots of salt, sand and debris still remains on paved areas all over the state, and we are looking forward to beautifying our customers' properties again.  One major concern going into the warmer weather is for the safety of vehicles on sandy surfaces, especially motorcycles. A motorcycle can easily slip going around a corner on a sandy surface. We take great care to clean, as if our own family members could be riding their motorcycles on the roads we are sweeping. Another important reason for springtime cleaning is to clear gutters of all of the debris from the winter. That way, the surrounding areas will be less prone to flooding during springtime storms, and water runoff will drain normally. If your property needs an overhaul after this very long winter, give us a call at 401-825-6961 for your free estimate!

October is always a busy month for us with the ending of Summer and beginning of Fall. Here at Xpress Sweeping, we were out working all across Rhode Island and the surrounding areas, helping our customers prepare for the cold weather and vacuuming the already falling leaves. The images above are from a fencing replacement job, something we do quite often; and also two landscaping jobs requiring our larger dump trucks. Other jobs we worked on this month included paving jobs in North Kingstown, sidewalk demolition and replacement in Cranston and curb repair in Warwick. We would love to assist you with whatever outdoor maintenance your business needs, and as always, we offer free estimates. Don't forget to get on our list for snow plowing, as the snow will be here before you know it. Call us at 401-825-6961 to speak with us today!

Pumpkin flavored everything is back, which is a sure sign that Fall is almost here. We've also noticed the leaves starting to fall already, and have begun preparing our extensive fleet of vacuum and sweeper trucks for a busy season. So why is it important to clear dead leaves off your paved surfaces? Leaves quickly clog gutters New England Fall weather can include a lot of rain, so the last thing you want is to have clogged gutters. When clogged, gutters can't properly drain water from paved surfaces, causing flooding. Keep roadways clear of leaves and other debris so that flooding is minimal or non-existent, even during heavy rains. Leaves become slippery when wet, posing a risk for pedestrians, bikers and motorcyclists There are already enough hazards that pedestrians, bikers and motorcyclists have to deal with. Don't add wet, slippery leaves to the mix. Especially if you have, as an example, a shopping center up on a hill and the roadways are curvy or hilly, pay special attention to leaves building up. Your customers will thank you! Contact Xpress Sweeping to schedule your free vacuuming/sweeping estimate at 401-825-6961 today!
