Mid-State performs all types of sweeping, with the exception of indoor industrial sweeping/scrubbing. Slightly more of the company’s work is in the construction and roadway sweeping sector than is done for parking area customers. A significant portion of the company’s revenues also originate from its sewer and catch basin cleaning equipment.

Jim Dodson is a staple at the National Pavement Exposition. In the approximately 11-minute audio interview with Jim Dodson, he talks about the philosophy of their company, and how he has positioned it in the central Oregon marketplace. As you will find with every successful sweeping contractor, Dodson does not tout how his company is the cheapest in the area. However, he does emphasize value, responsiveness, retention of employees and getting the job done as scheduled, each and every time.
