Our Story
Gary Gilman moved to the Vail Valley in 1977 to ski for one season and obtain in-state tuition for college at CU. With the El Niño Ski Season, Vail had over 500″ of snow during the 1977-1978. With that kind of skiing, he decided to abandon plans for returning to college and started a cleaning company after the ski season.
There certainly was a void that wasn’t being met at the time. This allowed him to pursue his passion of skiing powder when the conditions are right.
Gary says he owes success to being in the right place at the right time, “Figuring out how to say yes to opportunity, persistence, perseverance, always looking ahead and around the corner for trends in the Valley and in the Restoration and Cleaning industry, and taking appropriate risks,” he added.
Hiring great people with strong moral character and a good work ethic and training them well, always providing our customers with the highest quality services that we are capable of delivering, and providing housing for many of our employees have all been keys to our success.
When people ask us to explain the great success that SteamMaster has had serving the Colorado communities, we respond with our values, purpose, and vision. SteamMaster’s core guiding values include: balance, responsibility, integrity, excellence and results.
