Another gate issue. But I wasn't stressed out this time because I know where to call.
Vortex was the one. Eddie and Robert came and fixed the problems and done. I'm glad now I know where to call and not wasting time other companies trying to get a quotation. Thank you, Eddie and Robert!

Jose was very professional and had everything fixed in a timely manner. Definitely would recommend him and his company to others and use them again in the future.

If you’re looking for quality work on overhead doors and gate operators then look no further than Vortex!!! Vortex has serviced us at FedEx for 15 years and never let us down! Today was no exception when we called in an emergency work order as Ryan and Pablo were going home. The response time was first class. I also need to mention Rob and Breanna put it all together and made it happen. Great teamwork!!!! From all of us at FedEx we thank you!!!

Anthony worked very carefully and patiently to fix our broken roll-up door. He also try to repair the old door as much as possible to avoid replacing a new door. The job was perfectly done.
Eric G.
Irving and Dymitry were AMAZING!!! Payed attention to detail and noticed that the door was not fully aligned and they took their time to align is without us mentioning. Only reason I point this level of attention is due to having many other vortex technicians come out and just do what they had to do and leave. Knowing that they were going to get paid regardless. They also both had GREAT communication skills as well as their customer service!!
