Our History
VIP Special Services started out as a small window washing route from my Newark apartment on North 11th St back in 2004. I had just come home from the ARMY, and I was looking for something to do. The route was great, I got to move around to different towns and meet a lot of people, it was definitely a good experience. But to be honest, I always pictured myself managing something much larger.
I started handing out flyers everywhere I went, the simplest, most basic, black and white flyers you can imagine. I printed two flyers to a page, bought a paper cutter and literally cut my first advertising budget in half. They must have been worded just right, because they were as plain as could be and they worked. The phone started to ring and I moved onto cleaning houses and other small commercial jobs. I took every job that came in, including gutter clean-outs, janitorial and painting. Those odd jobs allowed me to hire my first employee and set the foundation for VIP.
Our first big opportunities were subcontracting window cleaning from large Janitorial Companies. They were nice jobs too, such as maintaining the window cleaning at the Jersey City Public School District, Clemson University and Philadelphia International Airport.
Once VIP Special Services was established as a reliable subcontractor, the company expanded even quicker. Insurance, Taxes and Employees brought on a whole new set of responsibilities; it was time to make things official. So, I formed the VIP Special Services, LLC on April 12, 2005.
I have to interject, if it was not for the guidance of my Mentor, VIP would not have been able to grow so quickly. R.I.P. Zeke and thank you for your patience.
Fast forward through countless jobs, a lot of trial and error, a few doses of humbleness and a whole lot of luck… here you are reading this now. Hopefully in consideration of hiring VIP for our next job, be it large or small, rest assured we will treat the opportunity with great care. Hope to hear from you soon!
