Our founder, Frank E. Everett, would tell his wife every morning,

“I am going to make my Customers happy today.”

This was a new concept in the Depression era of 1937; after three generations this is still our guiding philosophy.

We've been long time customers with Vortex. Matt did a great job repairing our commercial glass entry doors and adjusting the closers.

The office staff did a good job handling my call and I was able to get a repair appointment next day! Service completed well within time frame expected.
So glad to see Matt come back- he helped us last time and did another terrific job. Thanks Vortex!!
PABLO D.
Extremely satisfied with the work Vortex did for us. Shawn met me at a few locations. I explained in detail, what was needed. This gentleman exceeded expectations. The work was first class, but what impressed me the most was the crew he sent. Moe and Stoney! These two techs were very knowledgeable and professional. I cannot wait to have all 3 help us with future projects.
