Vortex Celebrates 85 Years in Business

January 20, 2022 | Company News

Vortex Service Truck 85 Years Logo We are thrilled to be celebrating eighty five years in business this year! Vortex has always specialized in door repairs and installations, however over the years we’ve seen a lot change. 

During World War II in the early 1940s, Vortex Doors specialized in blast proof doors for bomb shelters and hangar doors for different Air Force bases. And even then, during turbulent times, we were known for our quality customer service and efficient work. 

Flash forward to the 1970s and we launched our very first branch office in Orange County, California. A few short years later we opened another in San Diego and so began our foundation for timely door repair and quality commercial door installation in Southern California. 

The 1980s and 1990s we continued to build on our founding philosophy which aimed to make each and every customer happy through our quality and fast service. Over the years we saw even more expansion with Service Centers opening up throughout California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. 

Vortex training floor In December 2008, to support our commitment to top-of-

class customer service, Vortex created our state-of-the-art Training Center. The Training Center was designed to provide all our Technicians with hands-on education and receive special certifications. In January 2013, Vortex became an authorized certification facility to provide American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM) Training and Certification to our Vortex Technicians.

Today, Vortex Doors has thirty Service Centers across 8 different states but one thing remains the same… Our commitment to providing quality service and leaving every job with a happy customer. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last eighty-five years! We look forward to continuing to serve you!

What Our Customers Are Saying

Excellent
Dashiell P.
Tom and Anthony did a fantastic job fixing my company's hangar door in an emergency. They did a quick and easy repair and got our business back up an running! We plan on calling them back in for when we plan on replacing our wheels for our doors!
Michael R.
John came into Pedego Electric Bikes in Livermore to fix our back roll up door. He came in with a very quick response once we called. His work was efficient and quality. He didn't only fix the door, but he went above and beyond by adding a failsafe of kick plates so this wouldn't happen again, as well as adding an extra assist to roll up the door. He let me know and installed missing hardware on the bottom of the door. Everything looked great and he cleaned up well. Very impressed!
Brad A.
Nigel and Kevin helped us tremendously today. We had a couple issues with some doors in our space that were hindering our member experience, but not any more thanks to Nigel and Kevin. Whenever we see them on the schedule to be here, we know our problems will be solved. Thanks again fellas!

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.

Jacob did an awesome job, on a tough and complicated problem with our gate box. Thankfully it's all working well now.
Janet H.
Very impressed with Vortex. After searching for a company who could troubleshoot a specialty door, we found Vortex online. They were able to come out the same day and fix the issue right away. Once the appointment was made we received a call letting us know when they would arrive. We received a call once the job was complete asking if we were satisfied. You don't find that with many companies anymore so that was impressive.
