"Do we have to eat at Daddy's house again?"

These words, spoken by a three year old little girl, inspired Vincent Tripp to purchase his first ServiceMaster franchise. This former restaurant owner put in so many long hours at The Iron Skillet that his young daughter thought he lived there. Vince knew it was time to make a career change.

While baking bread early one morning at the restaurant, Vince listened to Paul Harvey promote a fast growing Fortune 500 company called ServiceMaster. After much research, he decided to take the business knowledge he had acquired in the restaurant industry and start up his own ServiceMaster Franchise. Vince purchased his first franchise in the Los Gatos area in 1989.

Over the past 18 years, Vince has become extensively trained in the field of disaster restoration, and has achieved the highest industry certification, Master Restorer.

ServiceMaster Allcare Restoration is one of the largest ServiceMaster franchises in the country, and operates out of San Jose, California, serving all of the Santa Clara county including Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Cupertino, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Saratoga and Los Gatos.
