United Services History Since its inception in 1988, United Services has grown and evolved into one of the state’s most specialized disaster recovery specialists. Our company was one the original “restoration specialists.” The founders of our company started this business from a spare bedroom in their home. Quickly, the business grew. Within the first year, the company had its first real office, which was nothing more than a 900 square foot home off of Dorsett Rd in St. Louis. In the first year of our company, our real focus was new construction; however, that would change quickly.
