“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. “
– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

Big News: AC Sweepers & Maintenance Wins “Sweeper of the Year” at the PAVE/X Pavement Awards

AC Sweepers & Maintenance has something huge to celebrate. At the recent PAVE/X expo, AC Sweepers & Maintenance was honored with the “Sweeper of the Year” award during the Pavement Awards ceremony. This is one of the top awards in the sweeping world, and it shines a bright light on companies that do the job the right way—every time.

This award is a big deal because it recognizes more than just having trucks and showing up. It’s about strong job quality, professional service, smart business practices, and being respected in the industry. That’s exactly what AC Sweepers & Maintenance is known for.

What PAVE/X and the Pavement Awards Are All About

PAVE/X is a major event for pavement maintenance pros from across the country. It brings together people who work in sweeping, striping, sealcoating, paving, and more. It’s a place to learn, see new equipment, and connect with others in the industry.

The Pavement Awards are part of that experience. The awards are presented through Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction, and the winners are honored during an official ceremony at PAVE/X.

Why AC Sweepers & Maintenance Stood Out

The “Sweeper of the Year” award isn’t handed out just because a company is busy. It’s meant for a contract sweeping company that keeps standards high, treats customers well, and runs a strong operation.

In the Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction feature, founder and director of business development Latasha Crenshaw is recognized for building AC Sweepers & Maintenance into a respected, multi-state operation—starting from the ground up. She didn’t just manage the work. She learned the work by running routes herself early on, so she would truly understand what her team does every day.

AC Sweepers & Maintenance has grown to operate more than 30 sweepers and can scale its team to meet demand. That kind of steady growth takes planning, discipline, and great people.

A Story Built on Grit, Growth, and Leadership

One of the coolest parts of this win is the story behind it. Latasha Crenshaw was first introduced to the sweeping industry when her parents started a sweeping company back in 2000. Later, in January 2012, she launched AC Sweepers & Maintenance in the Atlanta market, building it “one contract at a time,” with a strong focus on relationships and referrals.

Today, AC Sweepers & Maintenance is known for handling a wide range of work—from small commercial lots to major high-demand sites. The Pavement feature even notes the company has serviced Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, a place where expectations are extremely high and details matter.

That is what “Sweeper of the Year” looks like: the ability to deliver great work, in tough environments, with consistency and pride.

A Team Win, Not Just a Trophy

Awards like this don’t happen because of one person. They happen because a whole team shows up and does the work with care. AC Sweepers & Maintenance talks about providing sweeping and maintenance services that help properties stay clean, safe, and welcoming—and that takes real effort, night after night and job after job.

They also point to strong industry involvement and ethics, including membership in groups like NAPSA and 1-800-SWEEPER. That kind of involvement helps raise standards across the entire industry.

Congratulations, AC Sweepers & Maintenance

Congratulations to the AC Sweepers & Maintenance team for their critical role in winning the 2026 “Sweeper of the Year” award at PAVE/X. This win is proof that doing things the right way still matters. It shows what can happen when you stay focused, invest in people, and never cut corners.

If you’re a property manager, facility leader, or contractor who needs sweeping you can trust, AC Sweepers & Maintenance has just been recognized on a national stage for being one of the best. Contact our team today for more information.
